1. Always-Free Package
Configure the Always-Free Package with these steps:
When users add ads, this option will appear first. In this example, the Ad Duration is set to 3 days, the ad is not featured, and it is not automatically bumped.
In summary, the Always-Free Package allows users unlimited access.
2. One-Time Free Registration Package
This option exclusively targets newly registered users without affecting existing accounts. As a result, upon registration, you can provide new users with a free package containing a limited number of ads.
After using their free ads, users must purchase a new package to add more ads. In this case, once the three ads are added, users cannot add more listings for free. For your users, it will appear like this:

Enable the Free Monthly Subscription option by connecting your website to Stripe (Stripe configuration) . Users will receive a free package every 30 days, as shown in the configuration example below:
In this configuration, users receive three ads upon registration, displayed for seven days. After 30 days, they receive another three ads. If a user does not use their three ads, they will have a total of six ads to add the following month. The user panel displays the following information:
Users can view when their package will regenerate by clicking the subscription name or visitng "Settings."
