The Marketplace app enables members of your community to buy and sell items directly on the platform, creating a convenient peer-to-peer commerce experience. It provides powerful tools for users to discover listings and for sellers to manage their products, while administrators can control permissions and marketplace settings from the Admin Control Panel.
With Marketplace enabled, users can easily browse and search for items through pages such as All Listings, My Listings, Friends’ Listings, Expired Listings, and Pending Listings. Featured and popular listings are highlighted on the Marketplace home page to help users quickly discover trending items. Users can also apply multiple filters and sorting options to find listings more efficiently. When they decide to purchase, they can complete transactions using available payment gateways, activity points, or funds stored in their E-Wallet, and track their purchases through the Bought Invoices page.
For sellers, the Marketplace provides flexible listing management. Sellers can create listings with detailed descriptions, images, attachments, and location information. Each listing can support multiple prices in different currencies, and sellers can control privacy settings or automatically mark items as Sold after a successful purchase. Sellers can manage all their listings from the My Listings page, invite friends to view their items, track recent listing views in the History page, and manage sales through the Sold Invoices page.
From the AdminCP, administrators have full control over how the Marketplace operates. They can configure role-based permissions, manage and organize categories, set a default category for listings, define the number of days before listing owners receive expiration notifications, and determine how long listings remain active before they expire.
In the following sections, you will learn how to configure the Marketplace app and adjust these settings to best fit your community’s needs.
