Four steps, and your site starts earning.

Pick how you earn, choose what sellers pay for, connect how you get paid and switch it on. Every price is a suggestion you can change, and nothing is charged until you say so.

Step 1 of the Make money wizard: how will your marketplace make money?

Screenshots of a demo site.

Boosts, featured and bring to top

The upgrades classifieds sites earn the most from.

Sell featured days and moves to the top one by one, or bundle them into Basic, Plus and Premium boosts like the biggest classifieds sites do. Sellers see the offer right after posting, on their listing and in My listings.

  • Up to three boost packages, each with its own name, price, featured days and moves to the top
  • Featured listings get a badge, first place in results and a spot on the home page
  • Five days after posting, sellers get an email with how many people saw their listing and a link to boost it

Small extras

Little upgrades that add up.

Not every seller wants a package. Offer an Urgent label, a coloured Highlight in results or one of a few Spotlight places at the top of your home page, and let sellers renew an expiring listing for a small fee.

  • Urgent and Highlight labels for the days you choose
  • Home page Spotlight with a limited number of places, so each one is worth more
  • Promotions bought while posting are refunded automatically if the listing never goes live
  • Reminder emails for checkouts that were started and not paid, with an optional coupon

Home page Spotlight

Sell the best spot on your site.

Paid Spotlight listings sit right under your home page's hero, where every visitor sees them. You decide how many places there are, how long each lasts and what it costs; when they are all taken, the next one starts as soon as a place frees up.

Seller plans and pay to post

Regular income from your best sellers.

Dealers, agents and shops post a lot. Give them monthly plans with more listings, keep a free plan so private sellers can still post, and charge to post in the categories where buyers pay most.

  • Plans with a price, a length and a number of listings, shown on your own pricing page
  • Pay to post in chosen categories only, like cars or property
  • Plan payments and every other order in one Orders page, with revenue by product

Questions

Questions people ask

Does Yclas take a commission?

No. What sellers pay goes straight to your Stripe, PayPal or other payment account, and Yclas takes nothing from it on any plan. Payment providers charge their own fees.

Which payment providers can I use?

Stripe and PayPal, plus Authorize.net, 2Checkout, Mollie, Mercado Pago, Razorpay, PayFast, PayTabs, BitPay, Escrow.com and more regional providers: 19 in all.

Can I start free and charge later?

Yes. Choose "Not yet" in the wizard and everything stays free. Many owners grow first and switch on boosts and plans once buyers and sellers are coming back.

How do I know what to charge?

The wizard fills in starting prices for every option, and you can change any of them. Start low, watch the earnings overview, and adjust.

What happens if a listing is never published?

Promotions bought while posting wait until the listing goes live. If it never does, they are refunded automatically.

Can I sell banner space too?

Yes. The Nova theme has places for your own banners or Google AdSense, including between listings, and they only show to visitors whose cookie choices allow them.
