Question: What is the difference between Osclass Pay and Payments Pro premium duration?
Answer: Osclass Pay plugin lets you sell several premium durations with a different price for each, including hours and weeks. Payments Pro has one duration and one price. If sellers need a 2-hour bump and a 7-day premium, those rows live in Osclass Pay products, not in Pro.
Question: Does Payments Pro include pay to show images like Osclass Pay?
Answer: Pay to show images is built into Osclass Pay, including country and region price uplifts. Payments Pro has no equivalent product row. Hidden photos until payment is an Osclass Pay model. Configure it under Pay settings, not in Payments Pro or core listing photos.
Question: Does Osclass Pay include membership or do I need a separate plugin?
Answer: Osclass Pay includes membership groups, category limits, and group discounts in the same plugin. Payments Pro needs a separate Membership plugin for those limits. If you already run Osclass Pay, do not buy a second membership product; those groups live under Pay settings.
Question: What payment capabilities does Osclass Pay add compared with Payments Pro?
Answer: Osclass Pay combines duration prices, location uplifts, wallet packs, membership, and eCommerce in one plugin, with gateways as current Pay extensions. Payments Pro keeps a smaller product set and splits membership into another plugin. Compare those capabilities on the product pages, not an old gateway count.
Question: Can Payments Pro sell republish repeats like Osclass Pay plugin?
Answer: Osclass Pay can sell republish as a count of repeats and a period, with a price per combination. Payments Pro offers one duration and one price with no repeats. Those schedules live in Pay products, not in core listing expire. Check Pay product settings after install.
Question: Does Osclass Pay plugin include cart and stock for marketplace eCommerce?
Answer: Cart and stock eCommerce is in Osclass Pay, under Pay settings. Payments Pro does not sell items with stock. If the site is a multi-vendor shop rather than paid ads only, Osclass Pay holds the cart. Enable eCommerce there and test a tangible product before go-live.
