Before You Start

Prerequisites

Planning Your Table

Before building, decide on:

  1. Number of tiers: Typically 2-4 pricing options work best
  2. Pricing: Monthly amounts for each tier
  3. Features: What's included in each plan
  4. Target customers: Who each tier is designed for
  5. Recommended tier: Which plan to highlight as "most popular"

In your WordPress dashboard, click Premium Pricing Tables in the left sidebar.

2 Click Add New

At the top of the page, click the Add New button. You'll be taken to the table builder interface.

3 Name Your Table

Enter a descriptive name in the title field, such as:

💡 Naming Tip: This name is only visible to you in the admin panel. Visitors won't see it, so make it descriptive enough that you'll recognize it later when managing multiple tables.

💡 Feature Tips:
  • Add 5-10 features for clarity (too many overwhelms visitors)
  • Put most important features at the top
  • Use checkmarks for yes/no features
  • Use specific numbers for quantifiable features (not "lots" or "more")
  • Group related features together

9 Set Up Buttons

For each column, scroll down to the Button Settings section:

Basic Plan Button:

Pro Plan Button:

Enterprise Button:
