Transfer Press supports both single-site and multisite environments. ### Are premium plugins supported? Yes, you can transfer premium plugins as ZIPs, but you must comply with their license terms. ### Is FTP required to use this plugin? No FTP is needed. Transfer Press handles everything through the WordPress dashboard. ### What’s the difference between Free and Pro? The free version lets you export and import plugins one at a time as ZIP files — ideal for occasional migrations and backups. **Transfer Press Pro** adds time-saving automation for power users: direct site-to-site transfers (no ZIPs), bulk export, scheduled transfers, automatic backups before import, a full transfer history, exclusion patterns, notifications, and a higher upload limit.

You can transfer between sites with the free version by exporting a ZIP on one site and importing it on the other. **Pro** removes the manual step entirely — connect your sites once and push or pull plugins directly from a single dashboard, with no downloads or uploads. ### Will buying Pro affect my free setup?
