What Is GeoDirectory Pricing Manager?
GeoDirectory Pricing Manager is developed by Geo Directory and is a directory plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the directory category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional site builders. This extension handles the entire transaction flow from listing submission to payment processing.
The plugin solves the problem of manual billing by automating subscription renewals and payment reminders. It is designed for directory owners who want to offer tiered pricing plans with varying levels of listing features.
GeoDirectory Pricing Manager Features
The feature set is built around flexible monetization and automated payment management for directory listings.
Recurring Payments and Subscriptions
Pricing Manager supports recurring payments to create a predictable income stream without manual invoicing. Users can set and forget their billing preferences, while the system handles renewals automatically. This is highly effective for directory websites with high listing volumes where manual chasing is impossible.
Tiered Pricing and Enhanced Listings
You can create unlimited pricing packages to segment your audience. The plugin allows you to limit specific features, such as the number of images, website links, or telephone numbers, based on the selected package. Paid listings can be automatically set as “Featured” to stay at the top of search results.
Advanced Payment Gateways
The plugin integrates with the GetPaid system to ensure global tax and VAT MOSS compliance for EU-based sales. It also works with WooCommerce for those who prefer an existing e-commerce setup. Out of the box, it supports PayPal, Authorize.Net, and Worldpay among 20+ other gateway options.
Pay to Claim Integration
When used with the GeoDirectory Claim Listings manager, you can force business owners to upgrade to a paid package to claim their profile. This creates a powerful lead generation funnel where free basic data attracts owners who then pay for full control.
Pricing
Retail pricing begins at $49 for a single site license. WPExclusive members can access the plugin through their membership at a significantly lower entry point.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Site | $49.00 | 1 Site | Plugin & Updates |
| Unlimited Sites | $99.00 | Unlimited | Plugin & Updates |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Pricing Manager + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Pricing Manager plus hundreds of other plugins and themes, usually for less than the cost of one premium license.

The plugin receives regular updates to maintain compatibility with the core GeoDirectory framework. WPExclusive updates plugin files promptly after each release to ensure you have access to the latest security patches and features.
