Subscription marketplace software: monthly plans for the sellers who list most.
Yclas is subscription marketplace software for sites that earn from seller memberships: dealers, agents and shops pay a monthly plan to list, private sellers keep a free plan, and renewals are charged from the seller's saved card. Add pay to post in valuable categories, and on the Marketplace plan a different commission in each plan. Memberships start on the Professional plan.
Free for 15 days · No credit card · Memberships from Professional, $99 a month
A membership marketplace for sellers who post every week.
Paid membership listings work when a few sellers list far more than everyone else. They value steady visibility over paying listing by listing.
Plans, from the price to the renewal.

Subscription marketplace software with plans you design.
Each plan has a name, a description, a price, a length in days and a number of listings. Show them on your own pricing page and keep a free plan so anyone can still post, with the paid plans for the sellers who need more.
- Business accounts with approval, for dealers and agents.
- A second category price for business accounts.
- A commission rate in each plan, on Marketplace.
Renewals that charge the saved card.
A plan paid through Stripe's checkout keeps the card, and the plan renews from it when it ends. Sellers get a reminder before the plan expires. If a renewal is declined, the seller gets an email with a link to pay; you can also have failed renewals tried again a few days later before the plan expires.
- Expired plans can hide the seller's listings until they pay, if you choose.
- Sellers can turn automatic renewal off themselves.
- Every plan payment is an order in your Orders page, with an invoice.

Charge per listing where buyers pay the most.
Not every seller wants a subscription. Charge a price to post in the categories that are worth it, such as cars or property, and keep the rest free. Sellers on a plan post within their plan; everyone else pays per listing.

What is subscription marketplace software?
Software for a marketplace that earns from recurring seller memberships: plans with a price and a number of listings, a pricing page, automatic renewals and reminders.
Which plan includes subscription marketplace software features?
Seller memberships are on Professional ($99 a month) and Marketplace. Pay to post and featured listings are on every plan.
Do memberships renew automatically?
Yes, when the seller paid with a card through Stripe's checkout. Otherwise they get an email with a link to pay when the plan ends.

What happens when a plan expires?
You choose: the seller's listings stay up, or they are hidden until the seller renews.

No. Plan payments go to your own Stripe or other payment account.
