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.

All features

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.

Common challenges

  • 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

With 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
