A small shop, building best-in-category modules.

Every plugin is built and supported by the maker — not a marketplace ticket queue. We follow a tight loop: ship a focused first version, sell it on PrestaShop Addons and here, gather feedback from real buyers, ship the next version 4–6 weeks later.

Our /ops backend watches PrestaShop, WordPress, and WooCommerce upstream releases every 6 hours and automatically schedules a compatibility test for every plugin we sell. That's why a plugin you bought today still works after the next core release — we tested it before you noticed.

Plugins are software, not service. Once a plugin is written, the marginal cost of selling one more copy is roughly zero. Recurring SaaS pricing in this category is a vendor margin choice, not a cost-driven necessity.

So we sell one-time. PrestaShop modules are €49–€129 one-time + 12 months of updates included. An optional renewal (€19–€39 every 6 months) keeps you on the latest version with the compatibility-watcher coverage. WooCommerce modules are annual subscription (€49–€99/year) because the WC release cadence is faster — that pricing covers the continuous compatibility work, not platform margin.

If you stop renewing, you keep the version you have. Forever. No license-server phone-home, no kill switch. We don't think that's a virtue; we think it's the baseline expectation if you call something "owned software."

Operationally, the most fragile thing about owning a PrestaShop or WooCommerce module is keeping it compatible with each upstream core release. PS ships minor / patch versions every 2–3 months; WP + WC ship multiple core releases per year. Each one can break a hook, a controller signature, a template syntax.

Most plugin vendors handle this reactively — a customer reports breakage, they patch. Our compatibility matrix watcher does the opposite: every 6h it polls upstream GitHub releases and the wp.org core version-check API; within 24h of a new upstream release we run the plugin against it. If it breaks, we know first.

This is the contract that makes one-time pricing work. Without it, customers would be right to demand recurring updates as part of the price.

Three categories, by design:

• Search — NP Search for PrestaShop, NP Search for WooCommerce. The category where the SaaS premium is most visible and the self-hosted argument is most defensible.
• Compliance — NP AgeVerify for vape / alcohol / CBD shops. The category where data minimisation matters and SaaS verification services overshoot the actual regulatory ask.
• Conversion mechanics — WC Shipping Promise Booster, NP Rewards Pro. The category where the math (AOV lift, retention) is obvious and the SaaS recurring fee is hardest to justify.

We don't have a strategy for "everything else." If you need fraud detection, payment processing, or transactional email, buy the SaaS — that's the right shape of tool for those categories.

Within one week of listing NP Search on PrestaShop Addons — zero marketing — Cédric at ornibird.com bought it and migrated away from a paid SaaS competitor. That single signal is what convinced us to focus. The full write-up is in the Cédric case study.
