Verification Workflow: Allows visitors to submit a “claim” for a listing. Once approved, the ownership of the listing is transferred to their WordPress user account.
Approval Control: Supports Manual Approval (admin reviews info) or Auto-Approval (via email verification or successful payment).
Claim Management: A dedicated dashboard to approve, reject, or “undo” claims if a listing was claimed by mistake or by an unauthorized user.
Verified Badges: Automatically displays a “Verified” or “Owner-Verified” badge on listings that have been successfully claimed.
Pay to Claim: When paired with the Pricing Manager add-on, you can force users to purchase a specific pricing package to complete their claim.
Form Integration: Works out of the box with a simple lightbox popup, but also integrates with Ninja Forms (free) for creating complex, custom claim forms with specific data requirements.
Search Integration: Adds an “Is Claimed” filter to advanced search, allowing users to filter for only verified businesses.
Custom Fields: Adds a hidden “Is Claimed?” field to your Custom Post Types (CPTs) to track status and trigger visibility of the claim button.
