This allows you to spend time testing the plugin on your own environment, with your own theme and with your own plugins. It’s the best way to help you be sure that the plugin is what you want.

Lifetime licences are a single, one-off payment. Lifetime licences do not expire and you are entitled to receive free updates and support for the lifetime of the product.

You can purchase a Yearly licence then upgrade to Lifetime if you wish. Upgrade within the first year to just pay the difference.

In most circumstances, the plugin should continue to work. However, please note that if you are not able to receive updates then it’s not possible to guarantee future compatibility with WordPress and WooCommerce.

If you prefer to pay a single fee without the yearly renewal, you could consider upgrading to a Lifetime licence. This will entitle you to updates and support without an expiry date and without any further costs.

Here’s how to upgrade.

For the WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin, please see this document for details in functionality between the two licences.

You can try out the Basic licence first then upgrade to Pro at any time. Here’s how to upgrade your licence.

The Pro licence entitles you to updates and support for unlimited sites, plus extra features like percentage-based pricing and group accordions and tabs, as well as additional fields like Calculations, Child Products, Checkbox Groups and Image Swatches.

You can see a full comparison table of the differences here. Click on the Basic v Pro tab.

I’ve decided not to offer any pre-sales promotions or discounts, either for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or at any other time during the rest of the year. (The only exception to this is that we might offer occasional discounts to existing customers).

The reasons for this include:

• The price of the products on this site reflect their quality and the level of service I provide
• I’ve priced these plugins at what I think is a reasonable level. I’ve taken into account the time I’ve spent developing them, supporting them and documenting them
• I believe that they are well worth the money, considering the time and work they will save you as a WordPress developer or user from implementing the same functionality on your site
• I don’t think it’s right that everyone else should buy at 100% during the rest of the year, but that customers on a certain date get the same product for half-price

I’m also unable to offer discounts based on currency exchange rates in different territories. While I completely understand that the exchange rate from some currencies into USD can be quite prohibitive, my plugins are priced at a rate that will allow me to keep developing and supporting them.

What I do offer is personal support for each plugin and a 14 day money back guarantee.

Having said that, it’s not always possible to predict what a theme author will do with their theme. Not everyone follows best practice or keeps their theme up to date.

Common issues with Add-Ons Ultimate and theme compatibility are normally related to:

• AJAX add to cart buttons on product pages: often theme authors will have a nice AJAX add to cart button that doesn’t require a page load when the customer clicks it. This is fine – provided the author has included the required WooCommerce hooks and filters
• Correct implementation of WooCommerce hooks: Add-Ons Ultimate uses the woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_button filter to display its fields. Sometimes, for unknown reasons, a theme author will create a new WooCommerce template that misses out this hook.

If you’ve got any questions about your theme, please let me know and I will take a look. In almost all cases, your theme will be compatible and if it’s not, we can work out how to make it compatible.

However, it’s not currently possible to use a standard CSV import/export plugin to import the product add-on fields themselves. But we do have a specialist import/export tool in beta that will allow you to export your add-on groups and fields to a CSV file, then import them to another site.

Product level and global fields can be exported and the tool will allow you to map the fields to new products in the import site.

Please note that some of the field data is exported as serialised arrays – meaning that it’s not easy to edit the fields in a spreadsheet.

If you’d like to try the import/export tool, please contact us by raising an enquiry on the Support page.

Alternatives to importing and exporting

One of the main reasons for wanting to import and export fields is to make editing a large number of fields easier. Product Add-Ons Ultimate allows you to create global add-ons, which can be applied to all products, multiple products, or all products within specified categories. So instead of creating the same field over and over for each product, you just create the field once and apply it to multiple products.

Global add-ons are persistent – they won’t get wiped when you add or import new products.

Using global add-ons makes it easier to edit your add-on fields – even when the add-on fields apply to multiple products.

Note that it automatically inserts extra fields before the ‘Add to Cart’ button on your product page and will follow your theme’s styling. There is not currently a shortcode that you can use to insert the fields.

For more information on styling add-ons, please see this article.
