It extends the existing Eventixa screens. For example: - Events remain under **Eventixa → Events** - Bookings remain under **Eventixa → Bookings** - Attendees remain under **Eventixa → Attendees** - Pro payments appear in Eventixa payment settings - Pro integrations appear within the Eventixa integration system This keeps the workflow consistent whether you use Core alone or Core with Pro. ![Eventixa Core and Pro feature comparison in WordPress](https://eventixawp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/eventixa-free-vs-pro-page-1.jpg) Use Eventixa → Free vs Pro to review which features are available in Core and Pro. ## Adding Eventixa Pro Later You can start with Eventixa Core and add Pro later.
