Fee Per Category
Fee Per Category is an add-on plugin for WP Adverts, made by Greg Winiarski. It lets you assign a different fee to each ad category on your classifieds site, so a listing in one section can cost more, less or nothing at all compared with another.

What it does
A classifieds site often carries listings of very different value. A house or a used car is a bigger deal for the advertiser than a secondhand chair, yet a single flat fee treats them the same. This add-on solves that by letting you price each ad category on its own terms. You can charge higher rates in high-demand sections such as real estate or vehicles and keep fees low, or free, in quieter categories.
The plugin works inside your existing WP Adverts setup, and you manage fees from the admin panel without writing any code. Fees can act as discounts, surcharges or free listings depending on how you want to run each section. Advertisers see the fee for their chosen category when they submit an ad, so they know what they are paying before they post. It supports multiple currency options, which suits classifieds sites that serve buyers and sellers in different countries.
Best for
- Classifieds sites built with WP Adverts
