Answer:It depends on what you need. There are two products included:

– “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” plugin itself is one time purchase. “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” will give you an ability to post to as many accounts of the same network type as you like and some premium features like random reposting and delayed autoposts. Lifetime plugin upgrades are also included with one time fee.
– “SNAP Premium API Libraries” is a yearly subscription. Those libraries will give you an ability to post to networks without native API like Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, Flipboard, LinkedIn Company pages and groups, Reddit, etc.. Those libraries require constant maintenance and to keep them up to date we need a subscription.

Right now we have 2 special offers.

1. You can subscribe to “SNAP Premium API Libraries” ($49.95/year) and get “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” for free.
2. You can buy “SNAP Pro WordPress Plugin” for $49.95 (One time payment) and get one year of “SNAP Premium API Libraries” for free.

Basically with both options, right now for paying $49.95 you will get exactly the same thing – “Plugin + API libraries”. It’s just with one time payment option (offer #2) API will stop working after one year. You still be able to enjoy SNAP PRO Plugin for WordPress and all it’s features for as long as you like.

2. Question: What is the difference between “Free” and “Pro” versions?

3. Question: What networks in your auto-poster plugin are free and what are not? Why some networks are not free?

Answer: SNAP is not a spam tool. SNAP is not a Blackhat SEO tool. SNAP is not a tool for bypassing any rules of the site where you are autoposting. You need to follow all terms and guidelines of any site or social network you are working with.

None of the networks we support suspend accounts simply based on the fact that you are autoposting there. Do not post spam or content that is not allowed, do not post more posts then allowed, do not abuse the network in any other way and it will be fine.

If you account got suspended for abuse/spam or any other reasons, please contact the social network directly, we can’t explain why that happened.

Most of the networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc..) act on user reports. It means if people are clicking “Report as SPAM” buttons on your posts, you will soon start receiving notices and account suspensions. It really doesn’t matter for them how your posts got there manually or automatically.

2. Security
Your password is encrypted and stored in your WP database. It’s as secured as your server. So please do all possible measures to protect it. As we already explained, we don’t have any kind of access to your password and we don’t want to have it.

All our API scripts are installed on your server and your server makes posts to your networks directly. When you make a new post your server logins to your account on your behalf and makes a post there. The location that Facebook/Instagram/Google/LinkedIn is asking you to confirm is a location of your server. If your server is far away from your home (usual login location) it might trigger “suspicious login” checkpoint.

Please confirm that it was you. It might take several times and then they will stop asking.

Alternatively please try to use session instead of username password or vise versa.

Answer: Free plugin does not support WordPress Multisite. There is a separate “Pro for WPMU” plugin available for WordPress Multisite.

Answer: Our licenses are issued on “Per User” basis. It means you can use one license on all your sites, but you can’t give it to other people. You can use Plugin and API libraries on all your sites/blogs, the only requirement is that all those sites/blogs must be yours. You can’t re-sell or re-distribute the “Pro” Plugin and API libraries or websites with per-installed “Pro” Plugin and API libraries, neither you can’t install plugin and API libraries for your clients.

If you are interested in re-selling plugin or would like to install it for your clients you can look at our developers/resell packages

Answer: Plugin supports all kinds and types of publishing including scheduled posts and posts made from iOS/Android Apps.

Our plugin posts to all configured social networks at the time post goes live. Technically speaking our plugin is hooked to the event of changing post status from whatever to “Published”. This event is triggered when you hit “Publish” button, when you post on your site from email, when you publish post from your iOS/Android Device, when external plugin correctly published new post, and when scheduled post becomes live.

Answer: Plugin supports custom post types since version 1.9.3. It has the ability include/exclude custom post types from auto-posting.

Please go to the Settings->Social Networks Auto Poster->Other Settings->Include/Exclude Custom Post Types and select only the custom post types you need or select “None” if you need only regular posts.

Answer: You can change the default text in the plugin settings for each network.

You can also adjust this text for each post individually.

Answer: Facebook issues it’s applications on “by domain” basis. it means that you can use one application for posting to all Facebook accounts from one website, but you will need a second application to post from another website. it doesn’t matter what Facebook account created the app. Plugin will post to the page defined in the “Facebook URL” field as the person who authorized an app.

As an opposite, Twitter issues it’s application on “by account” basis. It means that you need a different application for each twitter account, but you can use the same application from different websites.

15. Question: How can I get the Invoice (Receipt/Bill/Tax Document)?

Answer: We are really sorry, but we can’t. At least we can’t do it right away. Here is why:

Every single day we are getting 2-3 orders from stolen/hacked PayPal accounts. People who place those orders usually have an access to the PayPal, but can’t access email associated with stolen/hacked PayPal account.

The next step for them is to contact support with some story why they can’t access the PayPal email and ask us to send the product to another email address.

The “Not Authorized” claim or credit card chargeback from the real PayPal owner is coming shortly after that.

We are not saying that this is your case, but we need to confirm that you are the real owner of the PayPal account before we send the product to the different email.

… or better yet …

Please be sure that you have an access to your PayPal email before placing an order.
