GeoDirectory Marketplace

A directory usually shows who and where a business is, but it rarely lets visitors buy anything. This plugin adds that missing step. Each listing owner can run a storefront from their own directory entry, and the plugin joins GeoDirectory, WooCommerce and MultiVendorX to make that work. Directory admins can set up commissions on every sale, which gives the site a way to earn from the activity it hosts.

Because shoppers can search for products by location, they can find items from the nearest shops. That suits a restaurant directory selling menu items, an artisan marketplace in the style of Etsy, or a niche directory for goods such as winery coupons or second-hand toys. The plugin also works with Dokan, WCFM Frontend Manager, MultiVendorX and WC Vendors Pro, so you can pick the multivendor tool that fits your setup.

Features

• A shop for every listing: Each directory listing can act as a full storefront, so vendors sell products directly from their own listing instead of sending visitors to a separate site.
• Works with GeoDirectory and WooCommerce: The plugin combines GeoDirectory listings with WooCommerce and MultiVendorX, giving a directory the selling tools of an online store.
• Commission management for admins: Directory administrators can set up commissions and earn on every sale made through the marketplace, which gives the platform a way to earn from vendor activity.
• Proximity-based product search: Visitors can search for products by geographic location and buy from the closest shop, which supports local businesses in the area.
• Support for several multivendor plugins: Dokan, WCFM Frontend Manager, MultiVendorX and WC Vendors Pro are all supported, so you can manage the marketplace with the tool you prefer.
• Suits many directory types: Restaurants, artisans, wineries, thrift stores and community sellers are all named use cases, so the plugin fits many kinds of local or niche marketplaces.
• Setup guides and documentation: Detailed setup guides and documentation come with the plugin, helping you configure the directory marketplace and understand how its parts fit together.
