Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use the extension after a subscription year?
- Can I install the extension on multiple websites?
- Can I access your support services for multiple websites?
- Why should I renew my subscription if I can use the software forever?
- Why do you have a subscription business model?
- How do I renew my subscription?
Can I use the extension after a subscription year?
Yes, you can use the software forever, even after your subscription expires.
Can I install the extension on multiple websites?
Yes, you can install our software on as many sites as you want (unlimited domains).
Can I access your support services for multiple websites?
No, it would be too much for us to keep our quality of support at this price. You should buy another subscription to avail of our support services for another website. If you manage several websites, please contact us to get a volume discount.
Why should I renew my subscription if I can use the software forever?
In an ideal world, our plugin should always work, but there are external factors that may request a plugin update.
The Stripe.com API is regularly updated, and we keep up with it each time it is needed. Also, new features are added, security is upgraded for the payment process. This is depending on PCI DSS Compliance, trading laws, and also on Joomla or VirtueMart code updates. All these changes, that are out of our control, require developer work and technical support time. And of course we release a new version to cover these changes.
Why do you have a subscription business model?
The first reason is to keep improving our code, adding new features, and features requests from you, our clients, that will make you feel it is worth buying and renewing the subscription.
The second reason is to have the resources to update our code when required by external factors, like explained above.
Overall, the subscription model and the renewal, with a 30% discount, makes our business sustainable.
We’ve been fortunate to work with Joomla since 2009. We’ve observed and discussed with many Joomla businesses. The one-time sales business model did not work. The result was unsupported code and disappointed customers.
How do I renew my subscription?
To renew, simply go to the My Subscriptions area and click "Renew". Your 30% savings will be applied automatically at checkout and your subscription will be extended from its current expiration date.

Finding a sustainable laptop
This all started with a desire to get a repairable and sustainable computer, to replace my aging Macbook Pro. From now on, I stay away from any vendor lock-in. And I want to be able to change my laptop battery, to increase the RAM, and in general to reasonably perform important repairs.
