Deep WooCommerce Integration
Listing Manager is robust plugin focusing on the deep integration with the WooCommerce. All listings, packages, micropayments are special WooCommerce product types. Such an approach allows us to create directory solution reusing best features of well know e-commerce plugin. From our point of the view, the best thing is that is not required to reinvent the wheel and users can use the WooCommerce cart, checkout and third party plugins to create directory website.
Create custom front end submission forms for the directory website within admin area. All front end forms are divided into three custom post types: forms, fieltsets and fields. Multiple fields are bundled into fieldsets and fieldsets are assigned to custom form. So users are able to select listing form before adding the submission. Please note that the field builder is for the front end forms. These options are not applied for form in admin area.
Listing Product Type
When creating new product set the product type to “Listing” and new fields will be available. We added location, address, contact, social, event and many other fields.
Front End Submission
Core functionality of this directory plugin is to allow users to post their submissions from the front end. It is not required to allow access to WordPress back end to post the listings. Plugin has dozens of predefined custom fields. If you want to just reorder, remove or add new field it is not problem at all. Listing Manager is incorporating field builder so you can change all fields without touching the source. Of course plugin has filter for that so if you are experienced developer you can implement you own business logic for front end fields.
Google Maps
In Listing Manager it is possible to use Google Maps by using shortcode or widget. Maps are containg serveral interesting options. It is possible to defined own custom filter structure, flexible toolbar, redirect URL, show all markers, autosubmit, live filter on the map, zoom, button text, height and so on.
WooCommerce Memberships Support
By selecting “Memberships” option in “Customizer – Listing Manager Submission” you enable WooCommerce Memberships support in plugin. You can create you own plans. Plugin supports max. number of listings per plan. There are no other options but if you are looking for something certain, feel free to contact us.
Package System
Easily create unlimited amount of packages and allow your users to purchase the package which fits their needs. Again the package is special WooCommerce product type called “Package”. After selecting this product type on edit screen, package related fields will appear. Package is added into cart and then user must proceed the checkout. When the package is going to expire, user will be notified about package expiration and then it is possible to extend package duration.
Micropayments
By using micropayments you can easily monetize your website. It is possible to create three types of micropayments for publishing the listing, making it featured and claiming the listing by user. All micropayments are just regular WooCommerce products with the special product type “Micropayment”. After creating the micropayment it is just required to assign proper product in “Customizer – Listing Manager Micropayments”. Paying for this transaction is exactly same as you are purchasing regular WooCommerce product so the microtransaction is added into cart and user is required to proceed the checkout.
Claim Listing
Users are able to easily claim each listing, if it is not already claimed. After the sending the claim request, it is completely up to the site admin to approve or decline the request. For the claiming of the listing we created micropayment so in Listing Manager you can charge your users for claiming listing.
Favorite Listings
Plugins supports to favorite the listings. Functionality is bundled right in the core. Users will be able to easily collect their favorite listings and then check them on the front end. The front end list of favorite listings is handled by shortcode. Users must be authenticated to favorite listings.
Report Listings
Allow users to report listing which is breaking the rules. Admin approval is always required to accept or decline report query so you don’t have to worry about automatic unpublishing listing from false reports. Report listing functionality is available only for authenticated users.
Visual Composer
In Listing Manager we are implementing useful Visual Composer components for building pages without touch the source code. Plugin is incorporating Google Map, filter and listings components.
Real Estate
We developed real estate specific functionality for Listing Manager. You can add your properties, assign location, categories, set the contract and so on. There is no problem to map properties to agents and then agents to companies. Everything was developed to bring the best flexibility to create the real estate solution.

Frequenty Asked Questions
Which plugins are required for running Listing Manager?
You must install WooCommerce which is essential and CMB2 for storing custom meta fields. We are using some other plugins
like Regenerate Thumbnails, Say What and Page Builder by SiteOrigin.
I installed the plugin but my site doesn’t look like a demo.
This happens because theme doesn’t provide styles for Listing Manager. You can use the plugin as expected but it is needed to add
at lease few styles to make it match your theme styles. We recommend to contact theme author for adding these styles. If you are
looking for same theme, you can find it in the package downloaded from CodeCanyon.
I can not find any settings. Where are located?
In Listing Manager we are using Customizer for storing your directory & listing website settings. Just navigate into “Customizer” and you will
see panels for Listing Manager. The most important panel is “Listing Manager Pages” which is fundamental for running directory website. Feel free to
check out documentation for more information.
How can I add new listing?
All listings are regular WooCommerce products so you can add them exactly how you add WooCommerce produsts. Just make sure that you are setting product
type to “Listing”. This is the great way how to make your products compatible with the WooCommerce. You can use same approach for creating new packages or
micropaymens, just set proper product type.
I want refund because XYZ.
Before requesting refund please make sure that you checked refund policies chapter “When a refund does not need to be given”. When you decided to raise a request don’t forget to describe as much as possible what exactly is not working.
