WPAdverts Fee Per Category Addon 1.2.1

Stop Charging Flat Fees on a Variable Marketplace

A car isn’t a textbook. A job posting isn’t a garage sale. So why charge the same fee for both? WPAdverts Fee Per Category lets you set different prices per category — because your revenue model should match what you’re actually selling.

Set $5 for job listings, $10 for vehicles, and make community events free. Users see the fee upfront, pay during checkout, and you collect the right amount automatically. No chasing payments. No awkward conversations about why someone’s $200 listing costs the same as a $20 one.

What You Get

• Assign a different fee to any category (unlimited)
• Mark categories as free or paid — your call
• Custom labels: “Featured Listing,” “Urgent Ad,” whatever works
• Apply fees to new listings only, exclude renewals if you want
• Users see their fee before hitting submit

No shortcodes. No template edits. Just WPAdverts → Categories → Set Price → Done.

Who Needs This

If your classifieds site has listings that range from “free bike my kid outgrew” to “used truck, $12,000,” you need this. Vehicle marketplaces, job boards, real estate portals — they all work better when low-value items post free and commercial sellers pay appropriately.

Running a new classifieds network? Start with free exposure in some categories while monetizing others from day one.

Setup Takes 5 Minutes

• Install and activate
• Go to WPAdverts → Categories
• Type in your prices
• Mark free categories if needed

Why It Works

Flat fees punish small sellers and undercharge commercial posters. It’s lose-lose. Category pricing fixes that. You charge what the market will bear, per section, automatically.

One payment. Instant download. Lifetime updates. Commercial license included — use it on client sites. Direct support when you need it.
