Before buying a ready-made script: 7 questions that save you regret

A ready product saves months — or wastes them. The difference lies in these seven questions.

Buying a ready-made product is an engineering decision, not a pricing one. Ask before you pay:

• When was the last genuine update?
• Is the code encrypted, or open to modification?
• Which framework version does it target?
• How does the author answer support tickets? Read the comments.
• Is the documentation enough to install it yourself?
• Which license does your exact use case require?
• Is there a live preview you can try before buying?
