To create a listing, you first need to create a user account. If you haven't signed up to your marketplace as a new user, you could try the "Log in as user" feature. Once logged into your marketplace, click on the link “Post a new listing” on the top bar. This will take you to the Listing creation form.

Listings are created through the listing creation form, which is composed of multiple sections. Each section needs to be completed before moving to the next, and all sections need to be completed before publishing a listing. The sections in the listing creation form depend on the Listing type and default fields you enabled or disabled. They may include:

If you don't complete all sections, your listing will stay in draft mode, and you can continue editing it later. Once a listing has been published, you can skip to any section to update it.

Adding a listing, in general, follows the same steps.

If your marketplace has multiple Listing types, you will need to select the Listing type first. The Listing type determines the rest of the form and the requirements for publishing the listing.

By default, each listing will always include the listing title and listing description. Other Listing fields shown in the listing details section of the form depend on the custom Listing fields that you have added, and that correspond to the selected Listing type.

You can add a location for your listing. The location needs to be recognized by the Map provider in order to work. You or your users can start typing the location address, the map provider will give options in a dropdown to choose from the recognized addresses.

Once the dropdown options appear, select the first one for the complete address.

The optional field can be used to add details or can be left blank.

You can add a price to your listing. The price will be "per unit", depending on the Listing type settings. For daily bookings, the price set will be "per day"; for hourly bookings, it will be "per night", etc.

If you have a "Purchases" listing type, this is the section in the form where you or your providers can add stock to their listings.

You can decide how the delivery for this listing is handled. You can choose pick up, delivery, or both. If it is possible to pick up the item, you need to set a pick-up location, which will determine the location of the listing on the map. If it is possible to ship the listing, you can determine the shipping price for the first item and for additional items after that. If both are chosen, the customer will have the chance to select their preferred delivery method when starting a transaction.

When adjusting availability, you first need to choose your time zone and set your default schedule. You can then set availability exceptions that can alter the default availability. You can read more about how availability works here.

You can add as many photos as you want to the listing. The formats supported are PNG and JPEG.

Once all of the previous sections have been filled out, you should be able to publish the listing unless it is your first listing and you haven't connected your Payout details.

When you first create a listing as a user, a pop-up window will open asking you to provide Payout preferences.

If you have already added your payment information directly in the Account settings of your profile, you will not see this pop-up.

Click on “Fill in test details”

The system will provide a test bank account for you.

Click "Save details."

You will immediately see another message with the title “Stripe needs more information”. This is normal.

Click “Get verified” to visit Stripe and provide your payment information.

Once you have provided all the Stripe payout information, you should be able to publish the listing.

You will be redirected to the public listing page and should now be able to find the listing on your search page. You can try searching for your listing.
