Frequently Asked Questions
Can I try it before I commit?
Yes — the 14-day free trial gives you full access to every feature with no credit card required. You can install the plugin, configure your business settings, run test bookings in sandbox mode, and make sure everything works exactly as expected before you pay anything.
Do I need technical skills to install this?
If you've ever installed a WordPress plugin before, you can install RYDE. The setup wizard handles all the configuration — you don't need to write any code. That said, you do need to be comfortable in the WordPress admin panel and willing to follow step-by-step video tutorials. If that sounds like too much, the Complete Business Solution might be the better fit — our team handles everything.
What if my hosting doesn't meet the requirements?
Most standard WordPress hosts qualify — Bluehost, SiteGround, WP Engine, Kinsta, DreamHost, and the vast majority of shared or VPS hosts. During your free trial you can verify compatibility before committing. If your current host doesn't qualify, we'll tell you exactly what to look for in a replacement.
Is the booking engine really the same as the complete solution?
Yes — identical platform. The same smart pricing logic, the same fleet management dashboard, the same Stripe integration, the same SMS and email notifications. The only difference is you install and host it on your own WordPress site rather than having us build and host the entire business for you.
Can I switch to the complete solution later?
Yes. If you outgrow the self-service setup or decide you want us managing everything, you can migrate to the Complete Business Solution. Your booking history, customer data, and pricing configurations all carry over. The $3,000 setup fee applies at that point — the migration itself doesn't cost extra.
What does the $99/month cover exactly?
Your monthly fee covers the full platform license, all software updates and new features as they're released, email support from our team, and access to all documentation and video tutorials. You're responsible for your own WordPress hosting costs separately — typically $20–80/month depending on your provider.
Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
No contract and no cancellation fee. The plugin is month-to-month. If you cancel, you lose access to the platform at the end of your billing period — your WordPress site stays intact, you simply remove the plugin. We retain customers through results, not lock-in.
Start your 14-day free trial
No credit card required. Full platform access from day one. Install the plugin, configure your business, run test bookings — and only pay if you decide to stay.
