Submissions

Turn visitor submissions into approved, paid records

Let people submit content through your site, collect the exact fields you need, review every submission, and charge when a placement should be paid. Built for directories that need quality control and revenue without stitching together forms, spreadsheets, and payment plugins.

What it replaces

A cleaner path from submitted form to published directory record.

Custom submission forms
Review before records go live
Paid placements and listing offers
Collect the right details
Use a form designer to ask for the fields your directory needs instead of forcing every niche into one template.
Review before publish
Approve, edit, or reject submissions before they become public records on your site.
Charge for submission
Package paid submissions and premium visibility without building a separate checkout flow.

Why it matters

The moment a directory accepts outside submissions, the work becomes operational: fields, review, payment status, and publishing all need to stay together.

What most tools force you to do

Forms in one tool, payments in another, records in a spreadsheet
Manual review queues that become hard to track
Paid placements that are disconnected from the live directory
Why teams pick DirectoryCraft
Submission, payment, moderation, and publishing live in one workflow
You can start free and add paid submission offers when the directory has demand
Visitors get a clear path to submit content while you keep control
