Messaging settings: Prices and message packs
Every field in the Prices section: cost per message, margin and the four message packs. All values are placeholders.
Find it in WordPress under Settings → VisionScaper Messaging. Only WordPress users who can manage site options (administrators) see it. This section holds your cost, margin and the extra message packs a business can buy. Every number shipped here is a placeholder, not approved. Set your own.
Before you start
- Packs are bought through Stripe. Without a Stripe secret key on the main settings page, buying says “Buying message packs isn’t available yet.” See
get-stripe-keys.

Steps
- Enter your own cost and margin.
- Change pack sizes and prices to ones you approve. Prices are entered in dollars, for example 10.00.
- To remove a pack from sale, set its messages or price to 0 and save.
- Press Save.
Warning: a pack saved with 0 messages or a 0 price is dropped. The page only draws boxes for packs that are saved, so a removed pack’s boxes disappear and may not come back from this screen (not verified how to restore).
If something goes wrong
- A business cannot buy: check the Stripe key.
- A pack is missing: it was saved with a zero.
Steps to save and confirm
- Fill in only the boxes you need. Secret boxes always show empty after saving.
- Scroll to the bottom and press Save.
- A green notice that says “Saved.” appears at the top. That is the only confirmation the page gives.
- Boxes for keys show “saved – leave blank to keep” in grey once a value is stored.
Note: a blank key box means “keep what is saved”. You cannot erase a saved key by emptying the box (not verified in code that any other way exists). To replace a key, type the new one.
