What is Express Magento Installation?
Express Magento Installation is a service offered by Envato Studio to help ThemeForest buyers get their Magento themes installed quickly and easily.
Anyone who has purchased a Magento theme from ThemeForest will see an "Install theme" button on their Downloads page. Clicking this button will ask them for their web hosting details and connect them with an Envato Studio service provider who will install their theme within 24 hours.
What do I get when I order the Express Magento Installation service?
This service includes:
- Installation of the latest compatible version of Magento (if required) on your server (click here for more information)
- Installation of your purchased Magento theme
- Import of any demo content included with the theme (click here for more information)
- Your website's name and logo (if supplied) added to the site
If you need some further customization done, then your expert can help you with this for an additional fee.
This service doesn't cover:
Domain name/web hosting purchase or setup.
You’ll need to have your own web hosting already set up, and have your server details ready to supply to your expert so that they can get started.
If you need help finding a web host, we have some recommendations here.
Further customization.
This purchase doesn’t cover any further customization to your site’s design or functionality, beyond adding your website’s name/logo and the theme’s demo content.
If you need some further customization done, then your expert can help you with this for an additional fee.
Uploading additional site content.
Your expert will upload any demo content that is included with your theme (see here for more information on this), but this doesn’t include any additional content (e.g. your own content from another website). If you need to migrate some content across from another website, then your expert can help you with this for an additional fee.
Magento has certain requirements in order to be installed. Before ordering this service, we recommend confirming with your web host that they meet the following requirements:
Your assigned expert will install your Magento theme using your theme's Quickstart installation package, if supplied.
Installing Magento using your theme’s Quickstart installation package ensures that your theme’s included demo content will be properly displayed. You can read more about what content is able to be installed as part of this service here.
The version of Magento that your theme’s Quickstart package supports can vary - we recommend contacting your theme author for clarification if required.
Your expert will install any demo content that is included with your theme. However, this doesn’t guarantee that your website will look exactly like the theme’s Live Preview.
Some themes come with the demo content shown in the theme’s Live Preview. Other themes come with different demo content altogether, and some themes do not come with any demo content at all.
Please note that demo content displayed in your theme’s Live Preview may be intended for a particular version of Magento meaning some content may be displayed differently. You can find out which version of Magento your demo is designed for within your theme’s documentation or by contacting your theme author via their dedicated support page on ThemeForest.
This service doesn’t cover the migration of any of your existing content into your new website.
Envato Studio has a dedicated Magento category, where providers offer additional customization services.
You can also request additional work from your installation expert by proposing a custom job once your job has started.
What if I don't have webs hosting for my site?
A range of eCommerce-ready hosting options are available on Envato Market’s Get Hosting page.
Due to the requirements that the latest versions of Magento require, this service may not be ideal for use with some shared web hosting services.
You can read more about what Magento 2 requires below:

For confirmation if your hosting is suitable for the latest version of Magento or whether additional permissions would be required, we would recommend contacting your web hosting provider before ordering this service.
No - if you already have a Magento website which has content that you want to keep, then our Express Magento Installation service is probably not right for you.
This service is designed for setting up brand new websites and getting them ready for you to start adding content. Modifying existing content to make sure that it works with a new theme is beyond the scope of this service.
Don't worry though - if you need help setting up a new theme on your existing website, you'll find a talented service provider in our Magento category who can help you.
Please note that if you do decide to order the Express Magento Installation service to be carried out on your existing site, your existing content may be lost or reformatted. Make sure to back up all of your content first if you do decide to do this.
