Yes, you can use a template that includes e-commerce or CMS features with a basic plan in Webflow. However, there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind:

E-commerce features: With the basic plan, you can add and customize e-commerce functionality to your website, such as product listing, shopping cart, and checkout process. However, you are limited to using Webflow's native e-commerce functionality, which includes basic features like accepting payments through Stripe and managing inventory. If you require more advanced features, such as custom shipping options or integration with third-party services, you may need to upgrade to an e-commerce plan or use custom code.
CMS features: The basic plan allows you to use the CMS (Content Management System) features included in Webflow templates. With the CMS, you can create dynamic content collections, such as blogs, portfolios, or product catalogs, and manage their content through the Webflow Editor. However, there are limitations on the number of CMS items and dynamic lists you can have with a basic plan. If you have a large number of items or require advanced filtering and sorting options, you may need to upgrade to a CMS plan.

It's worth mentioning that while you can use a template with e-commerce or CMS features on a basic plan, you will still need to set up and configure the e-commerce or CMS functionality within the Webflow Designer. It may require some learning and familiarity with Webflow's interface and features. Additionally, you may need to customize the template to fit your specific requirements.

In summary, yes, you can use a template with e-commerce or CMS features on a basic plan in Webflow, but there are limitations and you may need to upgrade or use custom code for more advanced functionality.
