What’s new in Simple Paid Listings 2.0.2
Version 2.0.2 · Apr 29, 2024
Latest
- FixedFix compatibility with scheduled job listings
What it does
A free job board fills up fast, and not every submission is worth keeping. This add-on puts a payment step into the WP Job Manager submission process. You decide what a listing costs, and the employer pays before the job appears on your site. That gives you a simple way to earn from your board, and it filters out listings from people who were never serious about hiring.
The plugin works inside the existing WP Job Manager submission flow, so employers see the familiar form with a checkout added at the end. Stripe Checkout opens a modal window for card payments on the same page, while PayPal Standard sends the buyer to PayPal and then returns them to your site with confirmation. SSL is recommended on payment pages to keep customer card details protected.
Best for
- Job boards built on WP Job Manager
- Niche recruitment sites charging employers per post
- Agencies building paid job boards for clients
Features
Custom price per listing
Choose how much employers pay for each job listing, so you can match pricing to your niche or the market your board serves.
Stripe Checkout modal
Employers pay by credit card in a modal window that opens on the page, so they stay on your site through checkout.
PayPal Standard checkout
Offer PayPal as a second payment option, with buyers redirected to PayPal to complete payment for their listing.
PayPal automatic return
After paying through PayPal, customers are sent back to your site and shown confirmation that their paid listing went through.
Publish only after payment
Job listings go live only once payment succeeds, which keeps unpaid and fraudulent submissions off your board.
Fits the existing submission flow
Paid listings are added to the WP Job Manager job submission process without changing the interface employers already know.
Works with scheduled listings
The payment step is designed to work alongside scheduled job listings, so you can keep using that workflow on a paid board.
