📌 Detailed Overview

Instead of waiting for users to search, let opportunities come to your vendors. With Directorist Post Your Need, buyers publish a structured brief—budget, location, due date, and requirements—then matched businesses receive alerts and respond with proposals. Buyers can review quotes, message providers (if enabled), and mark a request as awarded or closed, keeping your marketplace organized and credible.

The add-on follows WordPress best practices, integrates seamlessly with Directorist fields and taxonomies, and respects performance and accessibility. Use it to unlock new revenue streams (featured requests, paid replies) while delivering high-intent leads to your community.
