Setup / How It Works
Getting started with WP Job Manager Products is straightforward, provided you have both WP Job Manager and WooCommerce installed and configured on your site:
- Create Products: In your WooCommerce dashboard, create new products and assign them to the job package category. Define the specific attributes, such as listing duration or featured status, within these products.
- Link Packages: Configure the plugin settings to map these WooCommerce products to the job submission process.
- Define Rules: Set requirements so that when an employer arrives at the “Submit Job” page, they are prompted to select and purchase one of your predefined packages.
- Auto-Publish: Once the payment is confirmed by WooCommerce, the employer is automatically granted the permission to complete their job listing, which then appears on your site based on the package parameters.
