From the store to a working add-on, and what happens at each step.
The short version
Pick a product, pay, and the download is on your account page before you close the tab. There is no waiting room and nothing to activate by email.
Step by step
- Browse the store. Every product page shows what it does, its price, its version history and what other forum owners said about it.
- Pick a plan. Most add-ons have one, Single site. Some carry more. The plan decides how long your updates run and how many forums the licence covers.
- Add to cart, or buy straight away. The cart lets you take several add-ons in one payment, which also means one invoice.
- Pay. Card payments go through Stripe. PayPal is also accepted. Your card details never touch this forum.
- Download. The moment the payment clears, the product appears under your account with its ZIP, its licence key and its full version history.
What you get for the price
- A one-time payment. No subscription, no renewal charged without you asking.
- Twelve months of updates. Every release during that year is yours to download.
- The add-on keeps working after those twelve months. Renewing re-opens access to newer versions.
- One licence covers one forum, on one domain.
Before you buy
Two things are worth doing first. Check the requirements, and take the add-on for a spin on the demo board, where everything is installed and you can break whatever you like.
If you are hesitating between several add-ons, ask in Pre-sales questions. Being talked out of a purchase that would not have suited you is a good outcome for both of us.
