A paid job board, on terms you set
If your board reaches the right people, posting on it has real value, and you should be able to charge for it. The problem is how. Job-board SaaS solves the payment side but takes a monthly fee or a slice of every listing, and a roll-your-own WordPress board usually means wiring up a payment flow yourself.
WP Career Board Pro takes a different path. Employers pay for listings in credits, and you choose how credits are sold: direct Stripe or PayPal checkout, or a WooCommerce, PMPro or MemberPress product. You decide what a post costs, and the revenue lands in your own account. No custom payment code, no separate billing tool.
Credits and featured upgrades that scale your revenue
Pro goes past one-off charges. Sell credit packs at any price, and employers buy posting credits in bulk to spend whenever a role opens. With the Stripe or PayPal gateway turned on, card payments work without a store plugin, and credits are added automatically when a payment completes.
Paid featured upgrades add a second revenue line. The free plugin can already mark a job as featured; Pro lets you charge for it. Employers who want their listing lifted to the top pay extra for the visibility, and you decide what that upgrade costs. Between paid listings, credit packs and featured upgrades, you have several ways to earn from the same board.
You keep what you earn
This is the part the SaaS world will not match: there is no platform cut. You keep 100% of every sale minus your payment gateway’s processing fee. No Wbcom percentage, no per-posting royalty, no revenue sharing. The money flows through your own payment account straight to you.
Monetization is a Pro feature and requires the free WP Career Board plugin to be active. The free plugin runs the board; Pro adds the way to charge for it and keep what it earns.
