- Stale badge displayed so visitors know the data is cached

- Keys shared automatically across every shortcode — set once, works everywhere

#### Enhanced Dark Mode

## FAQ

**Do I need to buy anything to get started?**
No. The FREE plugin on WordPress.org is fully functional. Just install and add shortcodes.

**What is TRIAL mode?**
If you install DaazMarkets PRO without activating a license key, the plugin runs in Trial mode. You get all PRO infrastructure (cron, cache, API keys, advanced shortcodes) but price alerts are capped at 5.

**Is the payment one-time or recurring?**
One-time. Pay once, use forever. Updates included for 1 year; renewals optional after that.

**Can I use Premium on multiple sites?**
Currently all plans are single-site. Multi-site licensing is on the roadmap.

**What API keys do I need?**
The FREE plugin works with the free tiers of Finnhub, EODHD, TwelveData and AlphaVantage. CoinGecko data needs no key at all. PRO users with paid API plans can unlock premium symbols (^GSPC, NI225, DAX, DXY, etc.) and higher rate limits.

**What happens if an API provider goes down?**
With PRO, the Last-Known-Good Cache automatically serves the most recent successful data. Your widgets never go blank.
