We’ve added a powerful new way to sell Premium Plans on your SmartDirectoryAI site. Now you can connect any external checkout system, instead of requiring Stripe.
What’s New
  • You can now create Premium Plans and link the checkout button to any external checkout page (PayPal, ThriveCart, SamCart, WooCommerce, etc.).
  • Dedicated fields are available for both Monthly Checkout Links and Annual Checkout Links, so you can offer multiple billing options seamlessly.
⚠️ Important Note
External checkouts do NOT automatically:
  • Upgrade the listing to Premium
  • Trigger the “Listing Upgraded to Premium” workflow
After a customer completes checkout externally, you’ll need to:
  1. Manually set the business to the appropriate Premium Listing Plan.
  2. Manually add the business contact to the “Listing Upgraded to Premium” workflow (if desired).
This feature gives you the flexibility to use any checkout provider you prefer, while still offering premium upgrades on your directory.
