WP Hourly was initially intended for businesses that charge by the hour, like Freelancers and Agencies. Businesses that generally operate by a "Time and Material"model. However, lot's of customers reached out asking how they can use it for businesses from completely different industries. For example, WP Hourly is used by lawyers, charging by the hour, by companies with multiple employees working from home and need to be monitored and clocked. As a matter of fact, WP Hourly is ideal for any business that needs to have employee timesheets if nothing more.

You would need to have a WordPress website. WP Hourly is a WordPress plugin. If you do not have one, we can help you build it. Please feel free to contact us if you need help with that. We are also planning to launch a SaaS version of WP Hourly so that clients that do not have a WordPress website can use it online. There is currently no available ETA for this however.

No, of course; you would have to install WP Hourly first and then purchase the WP Hourly PRO add-on and install and activate (plugin and license) that as well.

Not at all. The WP Hourly PRO add-on is there to help you save and manage your time better. They help eliminating most of the manual tasks, like adding time manually, or generating employee timesheets, etc. By it self, WP Hourly is a very good solution for keeping track of the worked time, generate reports or use that time to invoice your customers.

Yes. WP Hourly allows you to set one global hourly rate. then, you can overwrite that rate for each Client, project or Task.

WP Hourly can be used by single-person businesses as well as bigger companies with employees. As a freelancer, you would be the one doing everything, including tracking the time if you are using the WP Hourly PRO time tracking feature, where as an Agency, your employees or contractors would be doing that. That means WP Hourly and it's add-ons can be used by WordPress Administrators and Employees (a new user role created by WP Hourly). As an Administrator in WordPress (or if you are a solo freelancer) in WP Hourly PRO you can check the "Treat administrators as employees" option in order to allow your self to track time.

You can use WP Hourly alone and generate time reports to use for your invoicing. If you are using WP Hourly PRO, then you can also install WooCommerce. WP Hourly PRO will then hook into the client My Account area and clients will be able to see the unpaid time they owe you. Paying is a s simple as checking out for a new pair of shoes like you would do on any online shop. You are basically selling hours 🙂

Yes. On the WooCommerce order, your client will see a timesheet of Projects and Tasks along with the time spent on each of them. That time sums up as the total amount paid on that order. Ex. Total of 100h worked * 50 USD / h = 5000 USD order total.

In WP Hourly, billable time (tracked time) is grouped by weeks, in most countries, the week being a unit of measure for payment intervals. Using the WP Hourly PRO add-on, your clients pay for particular weeks or the full amount due in one go. For obvious reasons, we recommend charging the full due amount in one go, but that is totally up to you and your client.

When you purchase WP Hourly PRO on our website, you will be put on a yearly subscription plan. This ensures continuity for suport and updates after the first year of using WP Hourly PRO. Of course, you can, however, terminate your subscription at any time and still receive updates and support for the first year. You would need to have an recuring payment set up in order to receive updates after the first year. Your license will remain unaffected, of course, if you do not choose to have a recuring payment plan.

We offer a 14 day - no questions asked - money back guarantee. That should be enough for you to make sure that our product is or is not what you need for your business setup. Upon processing a refund, the aquired License Key would stop working. If you do not wish to be enroled on the yearly subscription plan, and just want a 1 year license with updates, please be sure to stop your subscription within your account with us. By default, your subscription will be set to ACTIVE. Not canceling your subscription is not subject to a refund the next year or years to come.
