What it does
Directory owners who charge for listings need a reliable way to collect money. Without a gateway, that often means manual invoices or sending people off to a separate payment page. This add-on links Directorist to Stripe so customers pay during checkout on your site. Payments are processed by Stripe, which handles card security with PCI compliance and encryption, and your site receives status updates as transactions happen so orders and listings can be managed.
The plugin fits directories of any size that sell paid listings, packages or subscription plans. Customers can pay with credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and other methods Stripe supports, in multiple currencies. Recurring packages renew automatically through Stripe, and webhook handling keeps your site in sync with Stripe events, including recovery of paid subscription invoices when renewal notices arrive late or go missing. Transaction logs and reports appear in your WordPress dashboard.
Best for
- Business directories that charge for listings
- Directory sites selling subscription listing packages
- Developers building custom Directorist payment workflows
