Unlock Flexible Pricing with WooCommerce Name Your Price (The Smart Way)
Ever looked at a premium WooCommerce plugin and thought, “Man, I really need that, but the price tag is just insane for a single site?” Yeah, we’ve all been there. That’s exactly why GPL stores like GPL Guru exist. You get the full power of plugins like WooCommerce Name Your Price without the wallet-busting original developer fees.
So, What’s the Deal with GPL?
The GNU General Public License (GPL) is what makes this all possible. It’s an open-source license that basically says once software is released under GPL, anyone can use it, study it, modify it, and even redistribute it. What you’re getting here is the genuine, untouched plugin file, just distributed legally under the GPL terms. It’s not a cracked version or anything shady; it’s the real deal.
The trade-off? Since you’re not buying directly from the original developer, you won’t get direct support from them or automated updates through your WordPress dashboard. But honestly, for most experienced developers and agencies, that’s a small price to pay (pun intended!) for the massive savings and flexibility. I’ve found that the plugin’s core functionality is usually rock solid, and if you know your way around WordPress, you can handle the manual updates easily enough.
For agencies and freelancers, this is a game-changer. Think about it: you can use this plugin on an unlimited number of client sites without paying multiple license fees. It’s perfect for building out those custom e-commerce solutions without passing on sky-high plugin costs to your clients.
Key Features & Benefits
- Flexible Pricing Models: Let customers suggest a price for products, whether it’s for donations, “pay what you want,” or even custom quotes.
- Minimum & Maximum Prices: You can set boundaries, so you’re not giving stuff away for free (unless you want to!) or missing out on potential revenue.
- Suggested Prices: Guide your customers by offering a suggested price, making it easier for them to decide.
- User-Friendly Interface: Integrates seamlessly with WooCommerce product pages, making it easy for customers to enter their desired price.
- Works with Various Products: Supports simple, variable, and even subscription products (check plugin docs for specific compatibility).
- Boost Donations/Fundraising: Super effective for non-profits or campaigns where you want to encourage contributions.
- Custom Messaging: Tailor the text fields and messages to fit your specific offering.
Use Cases
This plugin is surprisingly versatile. I’ve personally used it for:
- Donation-Based Products: Setting up a “support our cause” product where users can name their donation amount.
- “Pay What You Want” Digital Goods: Selling ebooks, music, or digital art where people can pay what they feel it’s worth.
- Custom Quote Requests: For service-based businesses, letting customers input their budget idea before getting a formal quote.
- Tiered Membership/Events: Offering a base price for an event or membership, but allowing people to pay more if they wish (e.g., “supporter” tiers).
Technical Requirements
Nothing too wild here. Just your standard setup:
- WordPress 5.0 or higher (always good to be on the latest!)
- WooCommerce 4.0 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher (again, good practice to be current)
- A decent web host with enough resources.
Discount & Pricing: The GPL Advantage
Forget coupon codes. Forget waiting for Black Friday sales. The ultimate discount is baked right into the GPL licensing model itself. You’re getting a premium, fully functional plugin at a fraction of its original developer price. This isn’t a limited-time offer; it’s the inherent value proposition of a GPL store.

It’s a no-brainer for agencies, active freelancers, or anyone serious about building out multiple WordPress projects without breaking the bank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this plugin safe and legal to use?
A: Absolutely. All plugins and themes on GPL Guru are 100% genuine and released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This license allows for their legal redistribution. We source the original files and offer them to you under these terms.
Q: Will I receive updates for WooCommerce Name Your Price?
A: Yes, we provide updates as soon as they are released by the original developers. You won’t get automatic updates through your WordPress dashboard like you would with a direct license, but you can download the latest version from your GPL Guru account and manually update your plugin. It’s a minor trade-off for the massive savings.
Q: What about support?
A: As a GPL store, we don’t provide direct technical support for the functionality of individual plugins (that’s the original developer’s domain). However, if you have issues with downloading or accessing the files from GPL Guru, our team is here to help. For plugin-specific questions, the developer’s documentation or community forums are usually your best bet.
Q: Can I use this on client sites?
A: Yes, that’s one of the biggest advantages! Under the GPL, you can use the plugin on an unlimited number of websites, including client projects. This makes it incredibly cost-effective for agencies and developers who manage multiple sites.
