## What it does
WB Ad Manager gives you one plugin to handle every part of WordPress monetization: display ads, affiliate links, BuddyPress/bbPress community ads, and — with the Pro add-on — a full classified marketplace and self-service advertiser portal.
Free version is on WordPress.org. Pro is a separate add-on from [wbcomdesigns.com](https://wbcomdesigns.com/downloads/wb-ad-manager-pro/).

## Why Pro
Pro adds the revenue-generating layer on top of the free plugin. The key architectural decision is the **Wbcom Credits SDK**: Pro does not ship its own Stripe or PayPal integration. Instead, it ships five adapters — WooCommerce Products, WooCommerce Subscriptions, WooCommerce Memberships, Paid Memberships Pro, and MemberPress — that connect the advertiser wallet to whatever payment setup you already run. Any gateway WooCommerce supports (Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer) automatically becomes a wallet top-up path.
See [`docs/website/payments/wallet-and-payments.md`](docs/website/payments/wallet-and-payments.md) for the full configuration guide.

## Repository naming
This repo is `wb-ad-manager` on GitHub but the plugin ships on WordPress.org as `wb-ads-rotator-with-split-test`. The wp.org slug, plugin folder, main file name (`wb-ads-rotator-with-split-test.php`), text domain, and `.pot` filename intentionally stay on the original slug to preserve auto-updates, translation pull from translate.wordpress.org, and existing-install continuity. Only the GitHub URL and the display name ("WB Ad Manager") reflect the rebrand.
