Buying and licenses9

Do I receive the full, unencrypted source code?
Yes. Every script we sell includes the complete, unencrypted PHP source code. We do not use IonCube, Zend Guard or any other encryption, so you have full control of your platform, can run security audits and can adapt the code to your exact needs.
What is the difference between the Standard and Enterprise licenses?
Both include the same software, the full source code, free installation and support. The Standard license is for one website (one domain). The Enterprise license lets you install the script on unlimited domains, which is ideal for agencies and developers. Licenses are perpetual: there are no monthly or yearly fees. See all prices.
Can I try a product before I buy?
Yes. Every product has a live demo where you can click through the public website, the member area and the admin panel. Please test the demo thoroughly before you buy, because the source code is delivered in full. Open any product page and choose "Open the live demo".
Can I remove the "Powered by" link?
Yes. You can remove the "Powered by NetArt Media" link from your website. Unlike other providers, we do not charge a branding removal fee.
Can I resell the script to my clients?
With a Standard license you can sell a finished website, including the script, to one client as a complete project. You cannot resell the script as a standalone product. To build sites for many clients, choose the Enterprise license, or join our white label partner program.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards and PayPal, processed securely by our payment partner FastSpring, as well as bank transfer and cryptocurrency. For bank transfer and crypto we email you an invoice with the payment details. Order online.
How does Pay 2, Get 3 work?
Choose any three of our systems and pay for two: in every group of three, the lowest-priced one is free. Try the calculator on the special offers page, or add several products to one order.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 100% installation guarantee: if our team cannot get the script installed and running on your server, you get a full refund. Because you receive the full source code, we cannot refund once the software has been installed successfully. Read the refund policy.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits?
Yes, we are happy to support non-profit organizations and educational institutions. Please contact us with your documentation.

Installation and requirements5

Is the installation really free?
Yes. Every purchase includes one free professional installation. Our engineers set up the database, upload the files and make sure the script runs on your server. This is usually done within a few business hours.
What are the server requirements?
Our scripts are lightweight and run on most hosting accounts: a Linux server (shared hosting, VPS or dedicated) with PHP 7.4 or 8.x and MySQL 5.7 or newer. Both Apache (with mod_rewrite) and Nginx are supported. If you are not sure about your hosting, ask us before you buy.
Do the scripts work with PHP 8.2 and 8.3?
Yes. We keep our code compatible with the current stable PHP versions. Moving to PHP 8 brings faster pages and better security.
Do I need a framework like Laravel or Symfony?
No. Our scripts are built on a fast, framework-free PHP core. Pages load quickly, and any PHP developer can customize the code without learning a framework first.
How many listings can my website handle?
There are no limits in the code. Whether you have 100 or 100,000 listings, performance depends mostly on your server. For very large directories we recommend a VPS or dedicated server.

Features and customization7

How do the scripts handle payments and monetization?
The scripts include payment modules for major gateways such as PayPal and Stripe. You can charge for memberships, featured listings, paid postings and more, all set up from the admin panel.
Are the scripts SEO-friendly?
Yes. They use search-friendly URLs, let you set your own titles and descriptions for every page, and produce clean, fast-loading code that search engines can crawl easily.
Can I translate a script into my language?
Yes. Every script has a language file, so you can translate the front end and the admin panel by editing one file or using the translation tool in the admin panel. Right-to-left languages are supported too.
Can you build custom features for me?
Yes. As the original authors of the code, we can change any script much faster than an outside developer. We work at a fixed price. Send us your requirements for a free quote, or see our services.
Can I combine several scripts into one website?
Yes. We combine scripts so that your users register once and use all of them with a single account, under one design. See how it works.
Can I connect a third-party API?
Yes. With the full source code, you or our team can integrate any REST or SOAP API, such as a local payment gateway, SMS notifications or external job feeds.
How secure are the scripts?
We follow industry security standards, including protection against SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and secure password hashing. After installation, the install folder should be removed; we do this for you when we install.

Support and updates4

Do you provide technical support after the purchase?
Yes. Every purchase includes a year of technical support for bug fixes, installation help and questions about the admin panel. Contact us by email or through the contact form.
How do I get updates?
New versions are announced in our news. When an update for your script is released, we provide the new files together with instructions for moving your data to the new version.
Do you offer a hosted (SaaS) version?
Our model is self-hosted: you own the data and the server. If you prefer a managed setup, we can help you choose and configure a VPS while you keep 100% ownership.
Can I move from one of your products to another later?
Yes. Our scripts share a similar core, so if you change your business model we can help migrate your data from one NetArt Media product to another.
