Theme Integration

A bare bones theme might start out like this:

sample-theme/
    style.css
    index.php
    functions.php

SDK integration

Download a zip file of the SDK and extract it. You'll have a folder called edd-sl-sdk-main with the contents inside. Move this file into your theme folder, so your theme will look something like this:

sample-theme/
    style.css
    index.php
    functions.php
    edd-sl-sdk-main/
        src/
        assets/
        composer.json

You may rename the edd-sl-sdk-main directory to whatever you like, but do not modify the contents inside that directory.

Include the SDK by adding this in your theme's functions.php file:

require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/edd-sl-sdk-main/src/Loader.php';

Initializing the auto updater

For a theme, here are the bare minimum settings:

add_action( 'edd_sl_sdk_loaded', function ( \EDD_SL_SDK\SDK $sdk ) {
	try {
		$sdk->registerStore( [
			// API URL: Replace `yoursite.com` with the domain of the site that has Software Licensing installed.
			'api_url'  => 'https://yoursite.com/wp-json/edd-sl/v2',
			// Author: Your company's name.
			'author'   => 'Sandhills Development, LLC',
			'products' => [
				[
					'type'       => 'theme',
					// Product ID: ID of the Software Licensing product this plugin corresponds to.
					'product_id' => 9,
					// License menu
					'menu'       => true
				],
			],
		] );
	} catch ( \Exception $e ) {

	}
} );

This will automatically add a new license page to Appearance > Theme License, which handles license key activation and deactivation.
