Can I add my social media links to my product listing?
How can I allow product owners to add or manage their own listings?
Does this product directory and discovery plugin allow me to take payments from people for adding listings?

Can I embed ads from Google AdSense?
Absolutely! In fact you can embed ads from any external source by copying the campaign code and pasting it into the location where you want them to appear. Product directory and discovery plugin includes Google adsense campaigns, CM Ad changer, or any internal or external source of adverts. Embedded ads are displayed in between your product directory listings on locations that you define, as shown in the image below:
What filters can I have on my product directory page?
I've installed CM Business Directory and Product Directory. Is there a way to associate products to businesses?
Yes, the Product directory and Business directory can be integrated together. For this to work you need to have the community add-ons installed for both plugins.
Could this Plugin work for creating a Directory of people rather than strictly for businesses?
Product directory and discovery plugin can work for different purposes such as the one you have described. Since the front-end labels can all be changed from their defaults to reflect whatever you want your directory to be about the plugin is very much open to being used in different ways.
It sounds like our Members and Experts Directory plugin might be a better match with what you’re looking for however. Read more about the Expert product directory and discovery plugin by clicking here.
Does this Plugin support creating directories of businesses?
It could be used for this purpose but our Business Directory plugin is much better suited for this purpose.

Customer Reviews for the Plugin
- We use it in SpanishThe labels settings let us translate most of the interface, so thank you :)
- Cool use caseWe had an specific use case - we showcase REALLY niche products, which are not to be sold online (visitors get in touch with the vendors). This plugin worked well because while most competitors focus on the marketplace aspect, this one excels in the product page presentation.
