WP Job Manager Simple Paid Listings

A job board that accepts free submissions can fill up with low-effort or unwanted posts. This add-on gives site owners a direct way to charge employers for each listing. You choose the price, turn on the payment options you want, and the plugin handles payment as part of the submission process. It suits niche job sites and larger recruitment portals alike.

The plugin works inside WP Job Manager, so the familiar submission workflow stays in place. Employers pay with Stripe Checkout, which opens a modal for in-page card payments, or with PayPal Standard, which redirects them to pay and returns them to your site with confirmation. A listing is published only after payment succeeds, which keeps unpaid posts off the board.

Features

• Custom price per listing: Set the amount employers pay to post a job. This lets you adjust the charge to fit your niche or the kind of listings your board attracts.
• Stripe Checkout payments: Employers can pay by card in a modal window without leaving the page, which keeps the submission flow in one place.
• PayPal Standard checkout: Employers who prefer PayPal are redirected to complete payment, so your board can offer a second familiar way to pay.
• Automatic return after PayPal: After paying with PayPal, customers are sent back to your site with confirmation of their paid listing.
• Publish only after payment: Job listings go live once payment succeeds. This keeps unpaid and fraudulent submissions from appearing on your board.
• Works with WP Job Manager: Paid listing capability is added to the existing job submission workflow, so users keep the interface they already know.
• SSL recommended for payment pages: The plugin recommends using SSL on pages that take payments, which helps protect customers' sensitive data during checkout.
• Compatible with scheduled listings: Recent fixes address compatibility with scheduled job listings, so paid posting can work alongside jobs set to appear later.
