Marketplace Suite overview
Marketplace Suite is the part of WP Job Portal that takes money. Use it when outside employers post on your board and you want to charge them per listing or sell them packages, feature their listings, or check that they are real companies.
Marketplace Suite needs only the free WP Job Portal plugin, version 2.7.0 or later. It does not need Pro or any other suite.

If you used the old add-ons
Section titled “If you used the old add-ons”Marketplace Suite replaces six older add-ons: Credits, Featured Job, Featured Company, Feature Resume, Multi Company and Visitor Can Add Job. If one of those add-ons is still active, Marketplace Suite leaves that feature to the add-on and does not load its own copy. Deactivate the old add-on to hand the feature over. Your packages, invoices and listings stay where they are.
Your licence controls updates, downloads and support. Marketplace Suite keeps working if a licence lapses.
