Buy a license externally, install the Premium add-on, and paste your key in wp-admin. 1. ### Choose Pro, Business, or Agency externally Purchase a license on the vendor site — there is no in-plugin checkout. Agency plans include multi-site seats via the license server. 2. ### Install the free core and Premium add-on Upload both plugins to WordPress. The free core handles routing, hreflang, and sitemaps; Premium unlocks translation and commerce features. 3. ### Paste your license key Open Simple Multilang → Premium in wp-admin and paste the key. There is no auto-activate from this marketing page. 4. ### Ship multilingual content Configure languages, translate with machine or visual workflows, and export headless JSON when your tier allows it. ## Frequently asked questions **What is the difference between Free and Pro?** Free includes the full multilingual engine: unlimited languages, path/query/subdomain/domain URL modes, hreflang, multilang sitemap, translation groups, menu sync, and headless REST export in core (subject to login policy). Pro adds machine translation, visual front-end editing, page-builder draft translation, per-language SEO meta, slug routes, richer WooCommerce product fields, and licensed headless export. **How does headless REST export work across tiers?** The free core ships REST export endpoints. With Premium installed, valid Pro, Business, and Agency baselines include headless\_export. If the license server strips that feature, export is blocked. An unlicensed Premium add-on must not break free export. **Do I need Business for WooCommerce?** Pro covers basic WooCommerce product fields at the CPT level. Business adds advanced per-language commerce: pricing, stock sync, variations, cart behavior, plus webhooks and language analytics. Choose Business when you run a multilingual store, not just translated product pages. **Path prefix vs subdomain vs domain mapping?** Free tier uses path prefixes (/en/, /tr/) out of the box and can enable ?lang=, subdomain, or domain mapping under Simple Multilang → URL language modes (DNS/TLS required for host modes). Cookie and country detection remain Premium Business+. **What happens when my license expires?** Your translations and language structure remain in the database — nothing is deleted. Premium-only features lock until you renew; the free core keeps serving published multilingual URLs, hreflang, and sitemaps. Re-activate anytime by pasting a valid key. **What is the Agency plan?** Agency shares the Business capability baseline in code. Differentiation is commercial: multi-site seats, support packaging, and license-server entitlements. Contact us for agency pricing — there is no self-serve Stripe SKU on this page. **Is there checkout on maksut.net?** No in-plugin or on-page Stripe checkout for Simple Multilang licenses today. Buy externally, then paste the key in wp-admin. This page compares tiers; the license server validates keys via SML\_PREMIUM\_UPDATE\_URL. ## Related - [Download Simple Multilang — Free core](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-multilang/) - [Sales Contact for Pro / Business / Agency](https://maksut.net/contact/) - [Maksut Home](https://maksut.net/) Start free ### Install the core, upgrade when you need translation or commerce.
