When it comes to selling and managing WordPress plugins, not all platforms are created equal. Many competitors charge high commission fees or expensive annual subscriptions, taking a significant chunk out of your hard-earned profits. At PaidCommunities, we believe there’s a better way.
Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! We understand that migrating products can be a hassle, so our team will handle the entire process for you, free of charge, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.
What is PaidCommunities?
PaidCommunities is a free platform built specifically for WordPress plugin developers who want to focus on creating great software, not managing infrastructure. We provide everything you need to sell, license, and grow your plugin business—from payment processing to update delivery—without taking any fees or commissions. Our mission is to help developers build sustainable businesses around their plugins.
How is PaidCommunities free?
PaidCommunities is completely free because of our partnership with Stripe. As part of their initiative to grow their payment network, Stripe supports platforms like PaidCommunities that help businesses process payments through their system. This means we can offer our entire platform—licensing, updates, customer management, and more—at no cost to our users. You only pay the standard Stripe processing fees when you make a sale, and 100% of your revenue stays with you.
What kind of support does PaidCommunities offer?
We offer comprehensive support to help you succeed with your plugin business. This includes detailed technical documentation, integration guides, and direct customer support. Our team is here to help you every step of the way, from initial setup to growing your paid community.
The PaidCommunities platform itself is user-friendly and doesn’t require coding knowledge—anyone can manage licenses, process sales, and handle customer relationships through our dashboard. For plugin integration, we provide a PHP SDK that your development team can use to add licensing and update features to your WordPress plugins.
