Frequently asked questions
Can I install RepairPlugin on more than one website?
Each license is valid for one domain. If you need to move it, deactivate the license on the current site first, then activate it on the new one.
What happens if my license expires?
The plugin continues to work, but you won't receive updates or access to new features. Renew your license to get the latest version.
Will I lose my data when updating the plugin?
No. Uploading a new version replaces only the plugin files. Your settings, appointments, customers, and all other data stay intact.
What happens to my data if I deactivate RepairPlugin?
Nothing is deleted. Deactivating the plugin only clears its internal cache. All your database tables, settings, appointments, and customer data stay intact. You can safely deactivate and reactivate without losing anything.
