Description

The Paypal Payment Gateway connects the Directorist checkout to the PayPal API, processing payments for listing plans, submission fees, and renewals directly into the advertiser’s account. The Paypal Payment extension records each transaction in the Directorist orders panel, updates the listing status after confirmation, and allows automatic publication when payment is approved by the gateway.

Main Features

  • Paid submission billing: enables payment via PayPal in the Directorist listing submission form.
  • Paid plan support: processes charges for listing plans, highlights, and premium categories.
  • Automatic status confirmation: publishes the listing once PayPal confirms the approved payment.
  • Transaction logging in admin: stores ID, amount, and status of each payment in the Directorist orders screen.
  • Account credentials configuration: connects the gateway to the panel via PayPal email and sandbox mode for testing.

Benefits of the Paypal Payment Gateway

  • Directory monetization: turns Directorist into a revenue source by charging for listings and highlights.
  • Seamless approval: eliminates manual release by automatically publishing listings after confirmation.
  • Global payer coverage: accepts advertisers from any country with a PayPal account or international card.
  • Simplified reconciliation: centralizes charge history alongside other listing data.

Who is it for?

  • Operators of business, professional, or real estate directories that charge for publication.
  • Classified sites offering paid plans and featured listings.
  • Agencies delivering Directorist projects with active monetization for the end client.

Those operating a directory on Directorist who need to charge for submissions gain a direct monetization path without relying on external gateways or manual workflows. PayPal integration covers both one-time payments and recurring listing plans, supporting business models based on paying advertisers with an auditable record of each transaction within the panel itself.
