### Why is there a change?

HBook plugin was initially released on Envato Marketplace in **2015** and was exclusively sold on [codecanyon.net](https://codecanyon.net/item/hbook-hotel-booking-system-wordpress-plugin/10622779?irgwc=1&afsrc=1&clickid=R1LUGp3zLxyZTI7W6kXHbXVoUkuTZqUM-xZ%3A080&iradid=275988&irpid=1321125&iradtype=ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK&irmptype=mediapartner&mp_value1=&utm_campaign=af_impact_radius_1321125&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=impact_radius), Envato’s platform for WordPress plugins. From 1 July 2026, Envato Market will move to a single non-exclusive model.

We will offer HBook plugin **directly on our website** as well, in the same way as we sell [our WordPress themes](https://maestrel.com/themes/).

### Why is there a difference between your direct prices and your prices on Envato?

With more than 10 years of exclusivity with Envato, we were at a 12.5% author fee that was deducted on every HBook sale. With the new Envato rules, the distinction between exclusive and non-exclusive plugin authors will be removed, and the author fee for all authors will move to 50%.

When you purchase directly on our website, we can offer you a competitive price. ![(smile)](https://maestrel.atlassian.net/wiki/s/-2141288751/6452/1a940726dccdfd22f4f3d128e6624577122d8c54/_/images/icons/emoticons/smile.png)

HBook will still be on Envato. You will continue having access to updates, and we will continue providing technical support.
