Implementation decision
Use a maintained product path before building a one-off feature
Listdom Ads Addon is designed to work with Listdom rather than replace it. It gives the relevant workflow a documented configuration path, so a team can avoid maintaining separate custom code for a supported requirement. Custom development remains appropriate when the required workflow is not documented or is intentionally unique.
Install it when the workflow is a real requirement
Create ad spaces inside a Listdom-powered directory website. Use it when that capability is part of the directory’s visitor, listing-owner, or operator journey—not simply because it is available.
Keep dependencies explicit
Review the documented Listdom, WordPress, payment, builder, or service requirements before configuration so the product fits the intended setup.
Reduce ongoing maintenance
Use the supported settings and product updates for the documented workflow. This keeps the extension boundary clearer than a separately maintained custom implementation.

Product extension or custom code?
Choose Listdom Ads Addon when its documented workflow matches the need and you want a maintained Listdom product boundary. Choose custom development only when the required behavior is outside the documented product scope and the team can own its implementation and maintenance.
