Use a guided learning path when you are new, or search the focused knowledge base when you already know what you need. The goal is to get from question to action without wandering through plugin menus.

Premium payment controls live in Luxury Spa → Payments & Revenue. Enable payments, choose the hosted checkout gateway, add credentials and test with a low-risk sandbox flow before accepting live customer payments.

Gift Cards & PackagesCreate a Package Pass+
Create packages from eligible services, define credits or included treatments, set customer-facing value and use Package Pass records to track customer credits and redemptions.
Licensing & UpdatesUse My SiteWorks+
My SiteWorks is the customer account area for downloads, license keys, activation usage, active domains, renewals and billing history. Customers can also release an old site activation without administrator intervention.
Licensing & UpdatesInstall private updates+
Licensed sites receive protected update metadata through the normal WordPress update system. Stable or beta channel selection is available from License & Updates, and package downloads are authorized per licensed installation.
TroubleshootingA widget looks different on mobile+
Check tablet and mobile controls first, then clear WordPress, LiteSpeed or CDN caches. If the issue remains, test with reduced third-party CSS/minification and confirm the page is not inheriting a theme width or overflow rule.
TroubleshootingLicense or update connection fails+
Confirm the license is active in My SiteWorks, the site URL matches the intended activation, outbound HTTPS requests are allowed, and no security plugin is blocking the SiteWorks licensing endpoint. The client keeps a short network grace window for temporary outages.
