General Settings

Enable stealth mode - the stealth mode should be enabled only if you installed the PaidListings add-on on an active site where users are allowed to submit listings for free. To avoid problems with those existing listings, enable the stealth module until you setup the pricing plans and generate orders for all existing listings. Regular users will not see the effects of the PaidListings add-on when the stealth mode is enabled. After you finish the PaidListings setup, disable the stealth mode for users to be be able to see the plans and purchase listings.

Enable TOS in final order step:

No
Yes, without checkbox - the user agrees with TOS by completing the order
Yes, with checkbox - the user needs to check the checkbox to agree with TOS before completing the order

TOS Article ID - enter the ID of the TOS article from the Joomla Article Manager.

Company Logo Image - here you can set the path to your company's logo that will be included on invoices.

Your Business Information - your address, phone and other info for the invoice.

Users will be able to enter their information for the invoice on the My Account page. On the same page they will find a button for a printable Invoice next to each order.

Here you can set cron periods for scheduled PaidListings actions.

PaidListings cron actions will use the settings you have chosen in the JReviews Configuration, Cron tab. Try to set the cron periods at different intervals so all scheduled actions don't run at the same time.

Choose when will users get notification emails for plan expiration.

  }
</script>

Submit Listing - plan selected and listing submitted.

  try {
      ga('send', 'pageview', '/listing_submission');
  }
  catch(err) {

  }
</script>

  }
</script>

    ga('ecommerce:addTransaction', {
      'id': {order_id},
      'revenue': {order_amount},
    });
    ga('ecommerce:addItem', {
      'id': {order_id},
      'name': "{plan_name}"
    });
    ga('ecommerce:send');
  }
  catch(err) {
      console.log("Error tracking Order Submission:", err.message);
  }
</script>

    ga('ecommerce:addTransaction', {
      'id': {order_id},
      'revenue': {order_amount},
    });
    ga('ecommerce:addItem', {
      'id': {order_id},
      'name': "{plan_name}"
    });
