Product Directory Community Add-On Description
The WordPress Product Directory Community AddOn allows users to add a new listing to the Product directory, claim an existing product which was listed and manage their listings.
This AddOn is a supplement for the Product Directory Plugin and empowers it by letting the users submit and manage their own listings within the product directory.
What Happens when a User Submit a New Product
Managing New Product ListingsWhen a user submits a new product listing, the admin will receive a notification.Admin can moderate the new listing and approve or reject it. Once approved, the product owner will receive a notification and a password for managing the product page. With the email and password, the product owner can manage the products listing WITHOUT being logged in to the WordPress site or be defined as a WordPress user. This allows a complete separation between product owners and WordPress users. |
