Monetization

The Directories - Payments plugin lets you monetize your site by charging users for posting their listings on your directory or adding premium features to listings. By default, purchase and payment are handled by WooCommerce, meaning that all the features provided with the WooCommerce plugin become automatically available.

If you have not yet installed and activated the Directories - Payments plugin, follow the steps below:

  1. Login to your website if not yet logged in and go to the WordPress administration dashboard.

  2. Select Plugins -> Add New from the side menu.

  3. Click the Upload Plugin link at the top of the page.

  4. Click Browse... and then locate the directories-payments-x.x.x.zip (where x.x.x represents the version number) file saved on your computer. If you do not have the file, you can download the package from https://codecanyon.net/downloads.

  5. Click the Install Now button.

  6. Wait until the page refreshes, and then click the Activate Plugin link.

  7. After the plugin has been activated, click Directories in the admin sidebar.

  8. Under the Settings tab, click the Payment sub-tab, scroll down to the General Settings section and and make sure WooCommerce is selected for the Payment gateway setting and then press the Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Make also sure that you have installed and activated the WooCommerce plugin. If not, see the following page for installation instructions: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/installing-uninstalling-woocommerce/

Also note that the Directories - Frontend plugin needs to be activated as well to accept frontend submissions from users (See Accepting frontend submission).
