Directorist Digital Marketplace Addon 2.1

Directorist Digital Marketplace Addon — Build and Scale Your Digital Storefront

Here’s a common problem: you built a directory site with Directorist, got some traffic, but monetization options feel limited. This addon changes that by turning your directory into a place where people actually buy things.

Vendors upload their digital products — software, ebooks, templates, graphics, audio files. Customers browse, pay, and download instantly. You take a cut. The whole thing runs inside your existing WordPress setup without dragging in the complexity of a full eCommerce platform.

Each vendor gets their own dashboard. They manage listings, check sales, and track earnings without bothering you. You handle the platform, set commission rates, and process payouts from a single screen.

What You Get

• Vendor dashboard with product uploads, pricing tools, and sales reports
• Automatic delivery — customers get download links right after payment
• Supports software, ebooks, graphics, templates, audio, and video files
• Built-in commission tracking with split payments to vendors
• Download limits to prevent link sharing
• Works with popular payment gateways

Who Benefits Most

If you’re already running a Directorist directory, this addon adds a revenue stream without starting from scratch. Niche marketplace operators, creative communities, and developer networks see the biggest gains. You skip the custom development costs that usually come with building a marketplace.

Digital creators also win here. Selling on Etsy, Gumroad, or Creative Market means handing over 10-20% per sale plus listing fees. Running your own storefront through this addon means keeping everything. Your buyers stay on your domain, your brand stays visible, and your margins stay intact.

Setup Process

Install, activate your license, connect to your current Directorist setup. Vendors register, submit products for your review, and go live once you approve. You set commission percentages and manage the payout schedule. Customers check out and receive download links immediately.

No code. No third-party integrations to juggle. Everything lives in your WordPress admin.

Why This Over Custom Development

A custom digital marketplace easily runs $5,000-$20,000 to build. This addon gives you the core functionality — vendor management, instant downloads, commission tracking — at a fraction of that cost. You also get a commercial license for client projects, lifetime updates, and access to support.

The long-term advantage matters too. You’re not locked into a SaaS platform that can triple its pricing whenever they want. Your marketplace runs on your server, on your terms, indefinitely.

What’s Included

Plugin files, commercial license, lifetime updates, and access to our support team. One payment, lifetime access.
