Add Message Restrictions as a Premium Extension

Hi,

I received a custom quote of $240 (4–5 hours dev/testing) for adding a simple Message Restriction feature to HivePress Messages extension.

While the cost isn’t the main issue, I’m concerned that for the same price, I could just switch to a membership plugin that already includes this. It feels like a basic feature that could be added by default.

Since it only takes a few hours to build, why not bundle it with a few more useful features and release it as a Premium Messages extension? I believe many users would gladly pay for that.

No offense intended—just a suggestion to enhance the product.

========================================================================
Requested Restrictions:

Site has Vendors and Customers, both with accounts.

  1. Customer Restrictions: Customers can’t message anyone (vendors or customers) until they pay the subscription fee.
  2. Vendor Restrictions: Vendors can message other vendors, and only paid customers.

Hi,

Thanks for the details. Please note that this feature is available in the Memberships extension.

I hope it helps
