Product Description
You know how it goes with booking systems – sometimes demand outweighs supply, and clients just bounce if they can’t find an immediate slot. That’s where the Bookly Addon Waiting List comes in. Normally, you’d be shelling out a pretty penny for this kind of premium functionality. But here at GPL Guru, we leverage the power of GPL licensing to bring you the exact same top-tier addon for a fraction of the original price. It’s not a discount code; it’s the fundamental advantage of open-source licensing.
So, what does GPL licensing actually mean for you? It stands for the GNU General Public License. In simple terms, it means that once the original developer sells their software, they can’t restrict its redistribution or modification. We buy the original, fully licensed product, and then we’re legally able to redistribute it to you. You get the identical, untouched code base – no funny business, just the full functionality you’d expect. The main trade-off? You won’t get direct, official support from the original developers, and updates aren’t automated through your WordPress dashboard. You’ll simply download the latest versions from us as they become available. For agencies and savvy freelancers, this is often a non-issue; you’re probably managing updates and troubleshooting yourself anyway, and the cost savings are immense.
This unlimited usage benefit is huge, especially for agencies or freelancers who manage multiple client sites. Buy it once from GPL Guru, and you can deploy the Bookly Addon Waiting List on as many client websites as you need. Imagine the savings when you’re building booking solutions for a dozen different businesses!
