On this page, you will find what the Lite version limits and what the Premium version unlocks.
Phoenix Shop comes in two jars. PhoenixShopLite is the free version and PhoenixShop is the Premium one. Both share the same editor, menus and file format, so everything built on Lite keeps working after an upgrade.

#How the Limits Behave
#Shops
Lite loads one shop file. Any other file in the shops folder is skipped with a console warning and left untouched, so it loads again the moment Premium is installed. The editor stops offering to create a shop once the limit is reached, and a migration stops importing at the same point.
#Currencies
Item and Placeholder currencies are not loaded on Lite, and the console says so once on startup. A shop priced in one of them does not open, and an item priced in one cannot be bought or sold.
#Database
If config.yml asks for MySQL or MariaDB on Lite, the plugin uses SQLite instead and warns in the console. Your database settings are left as they are.
#Add-ons
Lite loads no add-ons, custom ones included. Each jar in the addons folder is skipped with a console message, and an empty addons folder is removed on startup.
On Premium, a paid add-on loads only when it is attached to your license on phoenixplugins.com. Otherwise the console says it was not loaded, and the rest of the plugin runs as usual. Free and third-party add-ons always load. /pshop addons shows which ones are installed.
#Upgrading to Premium
- Stop the server.
- Remove PhoenixShopLite-?.jar and add PhoenixShop-?.jar.
- Copy the contents of
plugins/PhoenixShopLiteintoplugins/PhoenixShop. - Start the server.
The two versions use different plugin folders. Skipping step 3 starts Premium with a fresh default shop instead of yours.
