Important Note:

Featured Listings are now part of our “WooCommerce Plans”. So, disable “Featured” settings under the plugin’s “Monetize” settings tab to avoid any conflicts.

Creating Plans:

Our Subscription Plans are nothing but the WooCommerce products and added under their “Products” menu.

1. Go to “Products => Add New” from your WordPress admin site.
2. Add a “Title” & “Short Description” for the Plan/Product.
3. Scroll down to “Product data” section and select “Simple Subscription” from the dropdown.
4. Fill in the following details under “General” tab,
   • Subscription price
   • Listings Limit
   • Listings Duration
   • Images Limit
   • Featured
   • Categories

Now, your users will be requested to choose a plan when submitting listings from the front-end. Since the payments are handled by “WooCommerce Subscription” itself, the orders created by users will not be logged under our plugin’s “Payment History” tab and you will need to check these details under the “WooCommerce => Orders” menu and you can view the Subscription details under the “WooCommerce => Subscriptions” menu.
