Product Description
Ever look at the price tag on a premium WooCommerce plugin and just cringe? We’ve all been there. Developers know that time is money, but sometimes, paying hundreds for a single site license just doesn’t compute, especially when you’re managing multiple client projects. That’s exactly where GPL Guru steps in.
This WooCommerce Nested Category Layout plugin? It’s a lifesaver for stores with tons of categories, making navigation intuitive for your customers. And the best part? You’re getting the full, original plugin here, just under a GPL license. What does that mean for you? Well, GPL (General Public License) basically says that once software is released under it, you’re free to use it, modify it, and redistribute it. We’re simply passing on that freedom to you, legally and affordably.
Now, to be fully transparent, because you’re getting it this way, you won’t get direct support from the original plugin developer, nor will you get automatic updates through your WordPress dashboard from them. Updates are provided by us when available, usually within a few days of the developer releasing them. For most of us who just need the functionality without the hefty recurring fees or single-site restrictions, it’s a tiny trade-off for a huge gain.
I’ve found that for agencies and freelancers, this is absolutely huge. Imagine building a new e-commerce store for a client, and you need this kind of category organization. Instead of buying a new license every time, you get unlimited installations. Seriously, you can install this on as many sites as you want without worrying about license keys or activations. It’s a game-changer for project budgeting.

Use Cases
This plugin really shines for specific types of WooCommerce stores. Think about:
- Large Retailers: If you’re building an electronics store with categories like “Computers” > “Laptops” > “Gaming Laptops” or a fashion boutique with “Apparel” > “Women’s” > “Dresses” > “Evening Dresses”, this is non-negotiable.
- Niche Marketplaces: Any site selling diverse products that fall under very specific, hierarchical categories.
- Agencies & Freelancers: Save your clients money (and make your proposals more competitive) by using premium tools without passing on high licensing costs.
Technical Requirements
Nothing too wild here. If you’re running a standard WordPress and WooCommerce setup, you’re good to go:
- WordPress 5.x or higher
- WooCommerce 4.x or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- Standard web hosting environment
It’s just a standard WordPress plugin, so installation is super straightforward – upload, activate, and configure within your WooCommerce settings.
Discount/Pricing – The Ultimate Savings Hack
Look, you won’t find any coupon codes for this plugin here, and that’s by design. The GPL itself is the biggest discount you’ll ever get. You’re not paying for a single-site license that expires, nor are you dealing with renewal fees. You’re getting the full, functional premium plugin for a fraction of its original developer price. This isn’t a sale; it’s just how GPL works, and we’re passing those savings directly to you. It’s truly the smart way to build without breaking the bank.

Q: Do I get direct support from the original plugin developer?
