Description

The Fee Per Category extension adds to WPAdverts the ability to set different charging values for each ad category, overriding the default price configured in the publication plans. It is aimed at those operating a segmented classifieds site, with niches such as real estate, vehicles, and job listings, and who need to charge different rates depending on the type of listing published by the advertiser on the site.

Main Features of Fee Per Category

  • Category-based fee
    Sets a specific charge value for each WPAdverts ad category.
  • Plan price override
    The value configured in the category takes precedence over the default price set in the publication package.
  • Admin panel configuration
    Values are defined directly on the editing screen of each classifieds category.
  • Integration with WPAdverts checkout
    The adjusted price enters the existing payment flow of the base plugin.
  • Support for category hierarchy
    Allows assigning different fees to parent categories and subcategories within the same classifieds.

Benefits of Fee Per Category

  • Segmented monetization by niche
    Charges more in categories with higher commercial value and less in simpler categories.
  • Revenue adjusted to ad type
    Strategic categories like real estate and vehicles generate a proportional fee.
  • Fewer plans to manage
    Eliminates the need to create separate packages just to cover price differences between categories.
  • Fairer charging model
    The advertiser pays according to the niche in which they publish, not a single generic amount for everything.

Who Is Fee Per Category For?

  • Those operating real estate classifieds and wanting to charge different rates for sale, rent, and seasonal listings.
  • Sites mixing high and low ticket niches in the same panel, such as vehicles and local services.
  • Those already using WPAdverts with paid plans who need to segment charges by listing type.
  • Job portals wishing to charge job ads according to professional area or seniority.

How to Download Fee Per Category

Fee Per Category is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the package, and activate it along with WPAdverts. The category fee options will then appear on the editing screen of each ad category.

With this add-on active, the classifieds stop treating all ads within the same price range and begin to reflect the real commercial value of each niche within the same site. For operations growing in category diversity, it avoids the need to maintain parallel packages to cover each listing type, simplifying plan management in WPAdverts.
