What Is Directorist – WooCommerce Pricing Plans?
Directorist – WooCommerce Pricing Plans is developed by Directorist Extensions and is a directory monetization plugin for WordPress. Released in 2019, it has become a core component for directory owners who need professional order management and global payment support. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for business listing operators and classified site managers.
The extension solves the limitation of restricted payment options by allowing Directorist to use any gateway compatible with WooCommerce. It is designed for directory administrators who want to offer tiered pricing packages with varying features and durations.
Directorist – WooCommerce Pricing Plans Features
The plugin focuses on transforming a standard directory into a revenue-generating asset through deep integration with the WooCommerce ecosystem.
Flexible Subscription Management
The extension integrates with WooCommerce Subscriptions to offer recurring payment systems and automated expiration. Site owners can define subscription signup fees and manage membership cycles without manual intervention. This setup is ideal for membership-based directories that require consistent monthly or yearly billing from vendors.
Unlimited Pricing Tier Creation
Administrators can create unlimited pricing plans with different sets of features to meet various user needs. You can control listing durations, featured status, and specific submission permissions for each tier. Users can choose between free plans or premium packages during the submission process, with all orders handled through the familiar WooCommerce interface.
Global Payment Gateway Support
By leveraging WooCommerce, the plugin provides access to hundreds of payment gateways including Stripe, PayPal, and regional providers. This ensures secure payment processing and order history tracking within the standard WordPress dashboard. It requires nearly zero configuration once WooCommerce is active on the site.
