Paid Listings

JobCore – Paid Listings sells job ads through WooCommerce. Employers pick a package when they post a job and pay at the checkout; the ad goes live when the order is paid.

Requirements#

• JobCore
• WooCommerce 8.0 or newer

Without WooCommerce the add-on shows “Paid Listings needs WooCommerce.” with an Install WooCommerce or Activate WooCommerce button. Until WooCommerce is active, posting jobs stays free.

Jobs → Paid listings#

The screen is in the sidebar under Add-ons → Paid listings.

• Paid job ads — New job ads need a package. While no package is for sale, posting stays free.
• Packages — a table with each package’s tier, run time, number of ads, price and status. Add package creates a new one; Create default packages adds starter packages for tiers that have none.

Packages#

Packages are WooCommerce products of the type Job package. What a package gives comes from three values on the product: its tier (Premium Plus, Premium or Basic), the number of days it runs and the number of ads it includes. Rename packages, change prices or add bundles (for example 5 Premium ads) freely.

When WooCommerce is first active, three starter packages are created once (each one ad for 30 days, hidden from the shop catalogue): Premium Plus job ad (75), Premium job ad (50) and Basic job ad (25), in your store currency. Packages you delete do not come back.

How a paid job ad works#

1. The employer fills in “Post a job” and picks a package (or one of their prepaid ads).
2. The ad is saved as “Awaiting payment” and the package goes to the WooCommerce checkout.
3. When the order is paid, the ad goes live (or to review, if review is on) with the package’s tier. Its run time starts the day it goes live.
4. Bundles keep the remaining ads on the account for later job ads, without paying again.
5. Refunded or cancelled orders take the ad offline and remove unused prepaid ads.
