What you get — Lite vs Pro
Lite is free forever. Pro unlocks the features paid-event organisers, club secretaries and agencies need. You install both — Pro extends Lite rather than replacing it.

Why people upgrade to Pro
Six features that move Site Calendar from "calendar widget" to "complete event-management plugin".
Recurring events
Set up your fixture list once, your weekly classes once, your monthly meetups once. Pro generates every occurrence automatically. Override individual dates when an instructor changes or a fixture is rescheduled.
Paid tickets
Sell tickets through Stripe or WooCommerce. Multiple ticket types per event (Adult, Child, Member, Non-member), capacity limits, automatic sold-out detection, and integrated refund handling.
QR-code door check-in
Every confirmation email contains a unique QR code. Your door staff scan it with their phone camera on the day — no app, no extra hardware. A dedicated Scanner role keeps admin access locked down.
Week, Day & Photo views
Add a calendar-style week grid for class schedules, a day-by-day view for busy event runs, or a photo-led gallery view for visually-driven events. One shortcode attribute switches between them.
Custom fields & filtering
Define your own per-event data — home or away, skill level, age guidance, anything specific to your kind of events. Filterable fields appear as toggle chips above the calendar so visitors can drill down.
CSV bulk import
Upload a full season of fixtures, a year of classes, or a migration from another plugin — up to 500 events per upload. Missing venues and organisers are auto-created. Row-by-row results table tells you exactly what landed.
30-day money-back guarantee
Try Pro on your real site, with your real events, for 30 days. If it doesn't fit, email billing@getsitecalendar.com for a full refund — no questions, no friction. Your Lite events stay intact either way.
Common pre-purchase questions
Do I need to install Lite first before buying Pro?
Yes — Pro is an add-on, not a standalone plugin. WordPress will refuse to activate Pro until Lite is installed and active. After purchase, your account dashboard shows a Step 1 (Download Lite, free) and Step 2 (Download Pro) panel with both download buttons in the right order. The welcome email contains the same two links.
What happens when my licence expires?
Your calendar keeps working forever — your events, venues, attendees and tickets are never locked or removed. What stops is access to plugin updates and priority support. We strongly recommend keeping your licence renewed for security patches, WordPress compatibility, and bug fixes. If a renewal payment fails, your licence enters a 14-day grace period before deactivating, so a temporary card issue won't break your site.
Can I move my licence to a different site?
Yes. Sign in to your account dashboard, click Websites, and use the Release button next to any activated site to free up the slot. You can then activate Pro on a different WordPress site immediately. There's no limit on how often you can move licences between sites.
What happens to my events if I deactivate Pro?
Nothing is lost. Lite continues to display all your events, venues, organisers, and free RSVP attendees. Pro-only data (recurring patterns, paid ticket sales, custom fields) remains in your database untouched — if you reactivate Pro later it picks up where it left off. Deactivating Pro is reversible and non-destructive.
Can I sell tickets without a Stripe account?
Yes — Pro supports two payment gateways. Stripe is the simplest (sign up at stripe.com, paste your API keys, you're live). WooCommerce uses your existing WC payment gateways, so PayPal, Square, and others all work. Free RSVP (no payment) is available in both Lite and Pro.
Is the price billed annually or monthly?
Annually, billed once per year on the anniversary of your purchase. Stripe sends a renewal reminder before each charge — we never auto-renew silently. Subscriptions cancel at the end of the current billing period.
