Webflow Templates hosting & submission question: E-comm site

Hello,

I’m designing an e-comm website with the aim of selling it on the Webflow Templates marketplace.

Two questions:

  1. I’m currently on a Lite account plan and with no site plan added yet. Do I need to upgrade and pay for an e-commerce site plan to in order to develop an e-comm template?

  2. If yes, will I need to continue paying for the e-commerce plan while the template is in the store?

I’ve searched the forum threads and read over the templates submission guidelines, but no luck unfortunately. Hoping somebody might know?

Thanks a lot!
