Directorist Stripe Payment Gateway

Directorist Stripe Payment Gateway is an official extension of the Directorist ecosystem that integrates the Stripe payment gateway directly into your business directory built with WordPress. Developed by wpWax, the same team responsible for the Directorist plugin, this extension allows directory administrators to charge for listing submissions, feature ads, and manage pricing plans in a fully automated and secure manner.

The extension is designed for owners of business directories, classifieds, service directories, job boards, and any listing-based site that needs to monetize its platform. With support for over 135 currencies worldwide, it allows you to accept payments from users in virtually any country, making it an ideal solution for directories with an international audience.

Among its main features, it stands out for its support for 3D Secure payments, which adds an additional layer of security against fraudulent transactions. It also supports a wide variety of payment methods, including credit and debit cards, international cards, Amex Checkout, Masterpass, Visa Checkout, WeChat Pay, AliPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, and SEPA direct debit, among others. This ensures that users can pay with the method that is most convenient for them.

The extension also offers support for recurring payments, allowing you to set up subscriptions and periodic charges based on the chosen duration. This functionality is especially valuable for directories based on subscription models, as it generates steady income throughout the year. Additionally, Stripe's transaction fees are competitive, allowing administrators to retain a larger portion of their earnings.

Configuration is simple: just create a Stripe account, obtain the API keys (publishable and secret), and paste them into Directorist's monetization settings. The extension includes a test mode to validate the payment flow before activating real transactions. It complies with PCI and international security standards, ensuring that all transactions are protected.

In short, Directorist Stripe Payment Gateway is the most complete and reliable solution to monetize your WordPress directory, offering a smooth, secure, and global payment experience for your users.
