WordPress · Free + Pro · v1.0.0
WP Sell Services turns WordPress into a complete service marketplace. Vendor wizard, three-tier packages, built-in Stripe / PayPal checkout, order workflow, reviews, disputes, and commissions. Both directions ship in free: buyers can browse and buy, or post a request and get proposals.
The marketplace
Same order workflow runs after payment in both modes. Choose one or run both.
Fiverr-style
Services live in a catalog with Basic / Standard / Premium packages. Click, pay, the order opens.
Upwork-style
Buyer writes what they need. Vendors send proposals. Pick one and the same workflow runs.
How it works
Pick a marketplace name, currency, commission rate, and how vendors join. The wizard creates the essential pages automatically.
A guided 6-step wizard walks vendors through listings with 3-tier pricing, gallery, FAQs, and the requirements form buyers must fill before ordering.
Payment, requirements collection, in-progress tracking, delivery submission, revision cycles, auto-complete, reviews. All handled.

Each playbook covers setup, pricing model, vendor onboarding, and the exact settings to flip.
