Pay-Per-Lead
Mask lead contact details until businesses unlock them with prepaid credits you sell in packs through your own payment provider — you keep 100%.
Pay-Per-Lead
Sell the leads your directory already generates. With Pay-Per-Lead, businesses see new enquiries arrive with the contact details masked — first name and a message preview visible, email and phone hidden — and unlock the full lead with prepaid credits they buy from you. You set the pack prices, sales go through your own payment provider, and you keep 100%.
How it works
- Leads come in automatically — every listing page has a built-in Contact button with a name/email/message form, so your directory collects leads out of the box. Built your own listing form? It keeps working exactly as before.
- You sell credit packs — create plans like "5 credits for $25" with the new Lead credit pack plan type. Packs are one-time purchases that work with Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Creem, and PayPal.
- Businesses unlock leads — each unlock costs 1 credit. The full contact details are revealed in their dashboard and emailed to them instantly.
Fair by design
- Free preview leads — the first few leads per business are unlocked free (you choose how many; default 3), so businesses experience real leads before paying.
- No double billing — repeat enquiries from the same person to the same listing never cost a second credit.
- History stays open — leads collected before you enable Pay-Per-Lead remain fully visible, and credits never expire.
Self-service for businesses
Businesses see their credit balance on their dashboard, buy packs in a click, and can opt into auto-unlocking new leads while they have credits left. Every unlocked lead is also delivered by email.
You stay in control
A stats strip shows leads captured, paid and free unlocks, and credits sold. Spot a junk lead? A one-click Refund credit action gives the business its credit back — each lead refundable once, with a full audit trail in the credit ledger.
Enable it under Monetize → Pay-Per-Lead and define your packs under Monetize → Payment Providers. Available on plans with payments enabled.
