How To Use Credits System Work In The WP Job Portal!

This article will guide you through setting up and using the credit package system for paid submissions in the WP Job Portal plugin. The credit system allows administrators to implement a monetization model where employers and job seekers are charged for specific actions. Administrators can create custom packages with associated credit packs, defining which actions will require credits. In this guide, we will explore how administrators can configure and add packages for paid submissions, and how employers and job seekers can purchase these packages. Let’s get started!

Ensure Required Add-ons Are Activated.

Before getting started, make sure the Credit System and WooCommerce add-ons are installed and activated. To use this feature, the Credit System add-on must be enabled. To check its activation status, navigate to Admin Dashboard → WordPress Menu → Plugins.

Find the Credit System add-on in the list of plugins and verify its activation. Once activated, ensure the WooCommerce plugin is also enabled to process credit payments. With both add-ons active, you’ll be able to easily configure and add packages for paid submissions within the WP Job Portal.

Paid Submission Types

The WP Job Portal provides two types of paid submissions: the Per-Listing System, where employers pay for each job listing, and the Membership Plan, which allows for multiple submissions over a specified period for a flat fee.

Paid Submissions With Per Listing Mode (Employer Side)

First, we will proceed with the per-listing mode. Navigate to your Admin Dashboard, then go to Dashboard Menu > Configurations > Package Settings > Paid Submission. Here, you’ll see the option to configure paid submissions. Select the per-listing mode.

In this mode, payment is charged for each action you define below. Configure the action prices for per-listing submissions according to your needs. Start by selecting the currency type, then enter the price for each company submission. You can also set prices for job submissions, featured job submissions, and more. Remember, actions with a price of zero are considered free and won’t require a purchase. Once you’ve made your configurations, save the changes, and your settings will be stored successfully.

Add Company With Per Listing Mode

Now let’s move on to the employer dashboard to see how employers can perform paid submissions using the per-listing mode. We will start by creating a company.

After selecting the payment option, a notification pop-up will appear, indicating that the WooCommerce product is not found and advising you to contact the system administrator. This means the system administrator must first add a product with a specified price to the WooCommerce store. Once that is done, employers can purchase credits by buying that product, enabling them to publish their company listings.
