Business Directory Plugin has the ability for users to manage all of their listings on one screen quickly and easily.
When setting up a new listing on your site, users will receive an email with a link to their listing information. If the user keeps that email handy, the link in it will take them directly to their listing.

Once you have created the page, you can then put this shortcode on the page:

Once users click on renew listing, they will be given these options:
