The gap
Directory revenue is supposed to be built-in.
Other plugins make you stitch it from $200/yr of add-ons.
- 1 Pricing plans sold as a $99 add-on Directorist pricing plans + payments + featured = three separate licenses. $200+ before you launch.
- 2 Payment integration as engineering work Stitching Stripe + WooCommerce + Memberships yourself takes weeks. Hold-and-Commit logic? Nobody ships that.
- 3 Trust signals (badges, reviews, claims) as separate plugins Verified badges = one plugin. Multi-criteria reviews = another. Photo reviews = a third. None talk to each other.
- 4 Lead tracking that doesn't connect to listings Generic contact-form plugins capture leads but don't know which listing they came from. No per-listing conversion data.

The only plugin of its kind
The only directory plugin with Hold-and-Commit credit activation
Built so failed listings never charge vendors and successful listings never under-charge - a transaction model that takes engineering teams weeks to design properly.
Who it's for
Who it's for
Directory operator monetizing vendors
Define credit packs and plans in 10 minutes. Vendors buy credits, pick a plan, listing goes live. No payment-stack engineering needed.
Local marketplace startup
Charge vendors for visibility tiers (Basic / Featured / Sponsored). Featured rotation runs automatically through prime placement slots.
B2B services directory
Reverse Needs Marketplace flips the flow: buyers post RFPs, vendors respond with quotes. Captures buyers who can't be served by static listings.
Multi-team directory
Moderators role lets you delegate listing approval, review moderation, and claim approval to team members with scoped capabilities. Full audit trail.
Multi-criteria reviews community
Restaurants get Food / Service / Ambiance / Value separately. Photo reviews drive engagement. Verified badges identify trusted owners.
Agency client deployment
White-label removes every Listora mention. Per-listing analytics, lead capture with Reply-To, BuddyPress activity sync - all under your brand.
vs. Directorist Pro, ListingPro Pro, GeoDirectory Premium
What every alternative makes you stitch from add-ons, Listora Pro ships in one license.
Directorist Pro + Pricing Plans + Featured Listings + Multi-Vendor + Reviews extension = ~$300/yr. Listora Pro Personal = $79/yr.
Listora Pro is the only WordPress directory Pro that ships the full monetization stack in one license - credits, plans, paid features, lead forms, badges, comparison, moderators, and a reverse marketplace.
Reverse marketplace
Buyers post needs. Businesses respond with quotes.
Most directories rely on buyers scrolling to find vendors. Listora Pro adds a second flywheel: buyers post specific requests (budget, date, location), and matching businesses see open requests in their dashboard. They respond with a quote, the credit ledger charges through Hold-and-Commit, the buyer gets notified. Two-sided activity in one plugin.
Buyer-led demand
Buyers who can't find what they want in static listings still convert. Their request lands in front of every matching business.
Filtered by capability
Only businesses tagged with matching categories, service areas, or budget tiers see the request. No noise, no spam pitches.
Charged on Hold-and-Commit
Each quote response costs credits, held when sent and committed when the buyer reads it. Failed sends never charge.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need Listora (free) installed to use Listora Pro?
Yes. Listora Pro is a pure extension of the free plugin - it consumes Free's hooks, REST endpoints, blocks, and database tables. If Free is deactivated, Pro deactivates automatically. This is by design: your public directory never breaks when Pro's license expires.
What payment gateways are supported?
Seven payment paths via the Wbcom Credits SDK: WooCommerce, WooCommerce Subscriptions, MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, WooMemberships (5 SDK adapters), plus Stripe direct and PayPal direct via the inbound webhook receiver. Every top-up flows through the same credit ledger.
How does Hold-and-Commit credit activation work?
When a vendor selects a plan, credits are HELD (reserved but not deducted). When the listing goes live, credits are COMMITTED. If activation fails (validation error, race condition, expired coupon), the hold cancels and credits return. No partial charges, no manual refunds, no support tickets about missing credits.
What's in the reverse Needs Marketplace?
Buyers post needs ('photographer for a Bay Area wedding, $3K budget'). Matching businesses in the directory see open requests and can respond with quotes. Two-sided flywheel - open requests feed business engagement, quotes feed buyer outreach. Built-in to Pro Professional and Agency tiers.
Can vendors run without paying?
Yes. Pro's payment features are opt-in. If you don't create any paid plans, the credit and payment systems stay dormant. You can add paid plans at any future point without rebuilding anything.
How does the moderators role work?
Pro adds a Listora Moderator role with scoped capabilities - they can approve listings, moderate reviews, approve claims, but cannot edit plugin settings or delete listings. Every moderator action is logged. Useful for community-managed or agency-managed directories.
Will it slow my site down?
No. Pro inherits Free's denormalized search index. Pro adds its own indexed tables for plans, leads, and moderator actions. Action Scheduler handles all background jobs. Tested at 100K+ listings with sub-100ms search response.
Is white-label included?
White-label branding is included in the Agency tier. It removes every Listora mention from admin notices, vendor dashboards, email templates, and the frontend submission flow. Useful for agencies handing off to clients who shouldn't see the underlying plugin brand.
Can I migrate from Directorist Pro or ListingPro?
Yes. Free ships migration importers for Directorist, GeoDirectory, WPBDP, and ListingPro. Pro adds a Visual Importer with field auto-detection + preview step. Run on a staging copy first; production cutover is usually under 30 minutes for a 500-listing directory.
Where do I get support?
Free + Pro support at support@wbcomdesigns.com. Pro Professional and Agency tiers get priority response (within one business day). Documentation lives at store.wbcomdesigns.com/listora/docs/. Listora's REST API + hooks reference live in the plugin at docs/.
