WP Job Manager Products Add-on 1.8.4

WP Job Manager – Products (often referred to as Products for WP Job Manager) is a specialized add-on—primarily developed by Astoundify—that bridges the gap between your job listings and WooCommerce.

While other add-ons (like WC Paid Listings) focus on charging employers to post a job, the Products add-on focuses on allowing the listing owner to sell products or services directly from the job or company page.

## Key Features

Attach Products to Listings: Allows you to link one or multiple WooCommerce products to a specific job listing. These products appear as a dedicated section or "tab" on the job detail page.

Support for All Product Types: You can attach simple, variable, or even digital/downloadable products (e.g., an employer selling a "Company Handbook" or a consultant selling an "Interview Prep Guide").

Promotion & Upselling: Ideal for directory sites where a business listing wants to offer coupons, special deals, or specific services (e.g., "Resume Review Service" or "Premium Support").

Buy Buttons on Listing Pages: Adds "Add to Cart" buttons directly onto the job listing, allowing for a seamless transition from viewing a job/company to making a purchase.

Role-Based Control: Admins can decide if only the admin can assign products or if listing owners (employers/vendors) can select their own products from the front-end submission form.

## Core Use Cases

The Service Marketplace: If you run a niche job board for developers, an employer could attach a "Technical Consultation" product to their listing to offer paid audits to prospective hires or partners.

Upselling Recruiting Services: As a site owner, you can "attach" your own recruiting or headhunting services to premium job listings.

Directory Monetization: If you use WP Job Manager to run a business directory (like Yelp), businesses can sell gift cards or promotional vouchers directly from their "Job" (Company) page.

## Difference Between "Products" and "WC Paid Listings"

It is easy to confuse these two, but they serve completely different parts of the business model:

Feature

WC Paid Listings

Products Add-on

Who Pays?

The Employer (to post the job).

The Visitor/Job Seeker (to buy an item).

What is Sold?

Job Packages (e.g., "5 Postings for $100").

Actual Goods (e.g., PDF Guides, Services).

Placement

Happens during the submission flow.

Displays on the final, published listing.

## Setup Requirements

WP Job Manager (Free): The core framework.

WooCommerce (Free): Must be installed and configured with at least one active payment gateway.

WooCommerce Product Vendors (Optional): If you want your employers to be able to create their own products (rather than selecting from a list you created), you will likely need a multi-vendor plugin.

### Pro Tip: Theme Integration

This plugin is a core component of the Listify and Jobify themes. If you are using those themes, the "Products" section is often styled to look like a beautiful grid or a "Deals" section, making it much more visually appealing than the default WooCommerce list.
