Your Envato Market purchase code is included in your licence certificate, which you can access from your Downloads page at any time. Purchase codes are used to activate items, verify your purchase with item authors, and access item support.
How to find your Envato Market purchase code
- Log in to your Envato Market account.
- Hover over your username at the top of the screen and click Downloads from the drop-down menu.
- Find the item you need the purchase code for and click the Download button next to it.
- From the download options, click Licence certificate & purchase code.
- Choose to download the certificate as a PDF or a text file. Your purchase code is displayed in the certificate.
Your Envato Market license certificate shows your purchase code, the item name, the licence type, and the date of purchase.
Using a plugin that came bundled with a theme? If a plugin is asking for a purchase code but it came bundled with a theme you purchased, the plugin is not separately licensed — see: Bundled Plugins for how to handle this.
Where else can I find my purchase code?
Your licence certificate is also available from your purchase confirmation email: Envato sends a purchase confirmation email when you buy an item. This email contains a link to your licence certificate.
Frequently asked questions
-
What is an Envato Market purchase code?
An Envato Market purchase code is a unique alphanumeric code included in your licence certificate when you purchase an item. It is used to verify your purchase — for example, when activating a WordPress theme or plugin, accessing an author's support portal, or confirming your licence to an author.
-
I can't find my purchase code in Downloads — what should I do?
If you cannot see the item in your Downloads page, check that you are signed in to the correct Envato Market account (the one you used to make the purchase). If you have multiple accounts, check each one.
-
My purchase code says it is already in use on another domain — what do I do?
Purchase codes are valid for a single domain registration only and cannot be transferred or re-registered automatically. If you receive this error, see: Envato Market: "Purchase Code Is Already Being Used On Another Domain" — how to resolve it for the steps to take.
-
Do I need a purchase code to download item updates?
Yes — for most items, you will need your purchase code to authenticate and download updates through the author's update mechanism (for example, via a WordPress plugin dashboard). For manual updates, download the latest version directly from your Envato Market Downloads page without needing to enter the code.
-
How do I find the purchase code for a plugin bundled with my theme?
Bundled plugins are included with a theme purchase and are not separately licensed — they do not have their own purchase code. If a bundled plugin asks for a purchase code, see: Bundled Plugins for guidance.
