Dokan is Getting More Affordable: Price Reduction & Changes in Packages

Back in the days when we released the first version of Dokan, it was actually a Premium Theme. If you know Dokan only for a year or two, I know how ridiculous it sounds. But, that's how it all got started. Soon we realized Dokan could do more, and to be able to grow we need to change dramatically, we evolved to a fully functional Plugin. Later we created many addons that adds even more functionality. Currently, there are over 18 official and 3rd-party addons. But the current process is – you have to buy a Dokan Pro license and buy Addons separately. We are changing this to help you, the Dokan user (the most important segment) grow, at the same time, we (weDevs) could push Dokan to new heights.

Dokan Pricing Before? 

Currently, there is a free core version of Dokan available at WordPress.org, that will remain the same. You get all the awesome feature, which is even comparable with other premium solution (you could look at this comparison if you have not yet). If you want to upgrade now you have this packages for you to upgrade –

And after that, if you want to have more feature you could have purchased any or all of the addons below –

What Is Changing?

In short, we are combining Dokan Pro and our addons. So, now you don't have to buy Dokan Pro & Addons separately, we are packaging it together. And our pricing is getting simpler as well. And the entry package in Dokan Pro is now cheaper, and we are announcing Live Chat support for the Enterprise Package.

So, no more Addons?

No, we won't sale addons separately, now we call those modules, depending on the package you purchase, you will get those modules pre-activated, in the new Module menu. You could activate and deactivate depending on your use.

What Happens to the Existing Add-on Users?

It will keep working as it should, but you will have the choice to upgrade to Higher Pro package with 50% discount if you have an active license for Dokan Pro.

Why are We Doing this?

As I explained at the beginning Dokan is growing, so as the Marketplace ecosystem. We did not create all of our addons in one day, it was created over the year, and the way we see it extends Dokan functionality to a height that we are very proud of. But as you have to buy each and every addons separately, and it's very much possible that you don't even know that Dokan offers a function, which costs maybe just $19 bucks. We feel here pricing should not be a burden, the function discovery process should have been more straightforward. If Dokan has a certain feature, we want our user to use that, we know from our user that those features are helpful, the extra addon should not bother now, now you have very easier choice, you buy once, pay once and you have access to all the functionalities that are useful to you for a whole year.

What's New in Dokan Multivendor  V 2.7.0

Introducing All New Modules for Dokan

Say bye bye to previous add-ons, which were very difficult to manage. From our new update, we are going to transform all our add-ons into modules. Guess what, you will be able to manage all of them from a single place. So, we have added a new menu called ‘Modules' and removed the old ‘Add-ons' menu. This is how the new page looks like.

You get all the previous add-ons as modules. They will be available on a single page so its easier for you to manage. This means you don't have to install separate plugins to use the features. Now, you can simply click on a toggle button and activate or deactivate any module you want! Neat, right? 😀

Automatic Updates for Modules

Previously, you didn't get a live update for any of the Dokan add-ons. Now, you can manage them from a single place as well as get live updates directly with Dokan plugin. So, no more manual updates! You don't have to download each add-ons and install them separately every time you get an update.

Interactive Settings Page to Manage it All

Dokan now has better and improved settings page where you can easily configure everything for your Dokan Multivendor.
