What we are considering
A closer look at the idea.
Sites that need a managed country source, explicit spending controls and a predictable fallback when the service cannot answer.
Know what belongs where
Free today. Pro today.
This concept for the future.
Free
Country rules for posts, pages and post categories, plus a visibility block, shortcodes, a local country source and Diagnostics.
Pro
Pro uses the country engine supplied by Free. Today, both use your configured local GeoLite2 source; a paid Pro license does not require lookup credits.
Managed service
Managed Lookup Credits would change how a country is resolved, not which content or products can be targeted. It would be a usage-based service, separate from Free, Pro and add-on software.
Requirements and boundaries
Know the scope
before you plan.
Proposed service only: no hosted endpoint, credit package or purchase is available. Local country lookup would continue without WPLocation credits. Lifetime software plans exclude managed credits and usage-based services.
Questions, answered
A clear path forward.
Will I need credits to keep using Free or Pro?
No. The current plugins use your configured local country source without WPLocation lookup credits. This proposed service would be an optional alternative, with separate usage pricing.
Can I buy or download this now?
No. This is a roadmap concept, not a released product or purchase offer. Final scope, dependencies, compatibility, pricing and release dates remain to be confirmed.
How would licensing and Lifetime coverage work?
Managed credits and usage-based services are separate from both lifetime software plans. No price, billing unit or launch date has been announced.
