WP Job Manager Simple Paid Listings Add-on 2.0.2

The WP Job Manager Simple Paid Listings Add-on is designed to be the fastest and most straightforward way to monetize your job board built with the core (free) WP Job Manager plugin.

It is specifically for users who want to charge a single, flat fee per job listing without the complexity or requirement of installing WooCommerce.

💸 Key Features

This add-on keeps the monetization process extremely simple and independent of a full e-commerce system.

Flat Rate Pricing: You set a single, fixed price for all job listings on your site (e.g., "$50 per post"). This add-on does not support creating different job packages, discounts, or coupons.

Simple Payment Gateway Integration: It offers built-in support for two major, popular payment gateways:

Stripe Checkout: Allows customers to pay instantly via credit card using a secure, modal checkout form.

PayPal Standard: Redirects customers to the PayPal website to complete the transaction.

Direct Submission Flow: The job posting workflow is minimally interrupted:

Employer fills out the job details on the submission form.

Employer previews the listing.

The employer is prompted to pay the flat fee.

Upon successful payment, the job is marked as paid and goes live (or is set to "Pending Review," depending on your settings).
