The Monetization tab allows administrators to configure payment settings for listing submissions, featured listings, and dealership registrations. This tab provides options to charge users for submitting listings, monetizing featured listings, and implementing paid dealership registrations. Here is the overview of the tab:

Subscription Model

The subscription model enables control of the number of listings that can be published (slots) by the users based on the subscription plans. To learn more about this feature refer to this page:

Charge for Listing Submissions

This feature of the plugin allows you to implement a fee for users who want to submit listings to the platform:

You can enable or disable the option to charge users for submitting listings. If enabled, users will be required to pay a specified fee before their listings are published.

When the setting is enabled, the listing that was published for additional payment will be visible in a separate tab:

Price

Set the amount users need to pay for each listing submission. Enter the price in the designated field. This fee is applied per listing submission.

Duration

Define how long each paid submission will remain active on the platform. The default duration is 30 days, but you can adjust it as necessary.


After the user completes the Order, you will receive an Order Notification and then you need to publish the Listing manually via Dashboard.

When the User/Dealer modifies the Listing, you will receive a notification with a revision link (with changes to Title and Content). Then only the site admin can see those changes and approve or decline modification.

Monetize Featured Listings

This section allows you to charge users for promoting their listings as featured. Featured listings are displayed prominently at the top of search results.

Featured Listing Label

Enter the label that will be displayed on the badge of the featured listings.

Price

Set the price for featuring a listing. Users will be charged this amount to upgrade their listing to a featured one.

Duration

Define the featured listing expiration date on the Featured Listing Period (days) field. Upon expiration, the listing will cease to be featured.

Monetize Dealer Registrations

This section allows you to implement a payment system for dealership registrations. Dealerships can register on your platform for a fee, which allows them to list their cars.

  • PayPal Email - Enter the PayPal email address where payments for dealership memberships will be received. All dealership registration payments will be processed through this email.

  • PayPal Mode - Choose between 'Sandbox' or 'Live'

    • Sandbox - Use this mode to test payments without making real transactions (for testing purposes).

    • Live - Select this mode when you are ready to accept actual payments (for production payments).

  • Currency Name - Define the currency in which payments will be processed (e.g., USD, EUR, etc.).

  • Price - Set the price for dealership membership registration. Dealerships will be required to pay this amount to register on the platform.

To ensure the proper functioning of your PayPal Live account's Instant Payment Notification (IPN) should configured using the following URL:

https://yourdomain.com/?stm_check_membership_payment=1.


*Change the yourdomain.com part with your site domain, for instance:

https://stylemixthemes.com/?stm_check_membership_payment=1.

This feature does not depend on the and can work together or separately with this system.

All the payment options will proceed through the WooCommerce plugin. Please make sure that all the WooCommerce payment settings are .

You can find detailed instructions on how to set up your PayPal IPN in the documentation provided here: .
