Directorist - Digital Marketplace

Running a directory or marketplace on WordPress usually means piecing together listings, search, payments and user roles. This plugin brings those parts together. You can build a niche directory, an e-commerce style platform or a multi-vendor marketplace, and organize everything with categories and tags so visitors can browse without confusion.

Site owners shape how listings are collected and displayed. Drag-and-drop fields adjust the submission forms, while filters and interactive maps help visitors find listings by criteria or location. Vendors get their own dashboards and permissions, and payment gateways support transactions. It does not require deep technical knowledge to tailor, which suits owners who want control over how the marketplace works.

Features

• Listing management: Create, edit and organize listings with flexible categories and tags, so the marketplace stays tidy and easy for visitors to browse.
• Search and filtering: Customizable filters let visitors narrow listings down to what they need, with advanced search built into the directory.
• Payment gateway support: Accept transactions through multiple payment gateways, so buyers and sellers can complete purchases within the marketplace.
• Customizable submission forms: Build listing submission forms with drag-and-drop fields, collecting exactly the details your directory or marketplace requires from each submitter.
• Interactive maps: Dynamic maps with geo-location display listings by place, helping visitors see where things are and explore the marketplace geographically.
• Vendor and user management: Support multiple vendors with dedicated dashboards and permissions, which keeps operations and communication organized across a multi-vendor marketplace.
• Monetization options: Set up earning models such as paid listings, subscription plans and featured ads, depending on how you want the marketplace to operate.
