Turn Your Classifieds Site Into a Business
Ad packages, recurring memberships, bump ups, featured ads, and free-to-paid funnels — five ways to charge, all built into the theme and configured without code.
They post, they pay — you earn
Pick your revenue streams — or run them all
Every model below is configured from the WordPress admin, per category if you like. Mix them freely as your marketplace grows.
Sell ad packages — your prices, your rules
Charge users for publishing or promoting ads. Every package is yours to shape: duration, featured period, number of bump ups, and category-specific pricing.
- Category-specific packages — cars priced differently than furniture
- Duration & featured periods set per package
- Live or moderated — ads publish after payment, your call
- Built on WooCommerce — orders and refunds in one place
Put revenue on repeat with Stripe memberships
Perfect for dealers and agencies that post ads every month. Membership plans renew automatically, charging cards on schedule — predictable income for you, uninterrupted service for them.
- Automatic monthly renewals — cards charged on schedule
- Keep or delete unused ads when a plan expires — your policy
- Recurring payments in 40+ countries via Stripe
- Plans per user type — different deals for private and business
Charge for attention with bump ups & featured ads
Sellers pay to be seen. Bump ups refresh an ad's date and push it back to the top of the list; featured ads keep it highlighted — both grow more valuable as your traffic grows.
- Manual & automatic refreshes — sellers choose, you earn
- Bulk bump ups — easier buys, more sales
- Featured placement sold as part of any package
- Scales with traffic — the busier the site, the more it's worth
Start free, upsell to paid
An empty marketplace earns nothing. Free ads, free packages, and coupons build supply and traffic first — then limits and premium options convert regulars into paying customers.
- Free ads & packages to grow your user base fast
- Limits that create upgrade pressure — more ads means going paid
- Coupons built in for launch promos and win-backs
- More content, better SEO — free listings feed organic traffic

Questions marketplace owners actually ask
No. Listivo is a one-time license, not a marketplace platform — payments from your users go directly to your own WooCommerce and Stripe accounts. Your payment provider charges its own standard transaction fees.
Payment methods supported by WooCommerce — cards, PayPal, and many local gateways (some gateways are separate WooCommerce extensions) — plus offline methods like bank transfer that you approve manually. Recurring memberships run on Stripe.
Yes. Packages are fully configurable per category: pricing, ad duration, featured period, and the number of bump ups included. Cars can cost more to list than furniture.
Yes — and it's the proven way to launch. Offer free ads or free packages to build supply and traffic first, then convert active users to paid packages, featured ads, or memberships. Coupons are built in for promotions.
Stripe supports recurring payments in 40+ countries. If Stripe isn't available where you operate, you can still sell one-time packages and bump ups through WooCommerce gateways.
Listivo's monetization modules — packages, memberships, bump ups, featured ads, and coupons — all ship with the theme. Depending on your payment provider, some specific WooCommerce gateways are separate extensions with their own pricing.
