The bigger problem there is that the Theme names the front page template "home.php" and the blog posts index template "blog.php". But on that front page template: yes, the Theme has a "featured products" section, that integrates Products as-defined by the Plugin. The Theme is designed to support the Plugin, which is fine. 


As long as the use of the front page template (including how the "Featured Products" section works) is explained in the Theme's documentation, it's fine.

  But this theme automatically generates a product section (no option for removing) that will easily confuse a user for non-ecommerce site.

  That Theme appears to be integrating support for a specific e-commerce Plugin. It's not actually bundling the Plugin functionality itself.

    Can you please link to the ticket you're reviewing? It would be immensely helpful in answering your question more specifically. 


    But in general, the others have nailed it: e-commerce *functionality* is Plugin territory, but it is perfectly acceptable to integrate *support* for a given e-commerce Plugin.

      That mean adding a product page, section in addition of adding product? The theme contains an option of adding product section.

      Plugin support is okay as long as the theme doesn't output something itself.

      For example, themes can support WooCommerce plugin available on WordPress directory, but can not incorporate the features that the plugin offers within the theme.
