The GeoDirectory Franchise Manager add-on allows users to submit listings for chains of businesses or franchises faster and allows directory owners to monetize those listings in a smarter way if combined with the Prices and Payments Add-on.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
The plugin creates a parent-child relationship between listings. You create one Main Listing (the brand/headquarters) and multiple Branch Listings (the individual locations).
Field Locking: When setting up the Main Listing, the owner can “lock” specific fields (like the Description, Logo, or Website URL).
Global Updates: If a locked field is updated on the Main Listing, the change automatically syncs to all Branch listings instantly.
Faster Submission: Branch listings only require unique data (like address, phone number, or specific staff) to be entered, as the rest is pre-populated from the parent.

Real Estate: A main agency listing links to several branch offices across different cities.
