AI that does the work for you.
Yclas puts AI into every part of a marketplace: building it, filling it, searching it and keeping it safe. Monthly AI use is included in every plan. Under each one, what Flynax offers.
Describe a change, such as "darker hero, bigger search, rounder cards", and the AI makes it in a draft you preview. 64 ready-made looks and drag-and-drop sections.
Say what your marketplace is for and the AI writes your categories, subcategories, tagline and About page in your language. Live in about two minutes.
Sellers add a photo; the AI writes the title, description and price, and picks the category and fields.
Visitors search the way they talk, such as "red bike under 300 near Valencia", and get the right filters.
Every new listing is checked against your rules for scams, prohibited items, spam and wrong categories. Risky ones wait in your queue with the reason, and buyers are warned when a message asks for gift cards or off-site payment.
On multilingual sites each listing is translated into every site language, with its own page for search engines. 44 languages.
The AI drafts a seller's reply from the listing and the conversation; the seller edits and sends it.
What changes for you.

The AI features and the page builder work with the Nova theme, the default for new sites. See all features →
Make it yours without hiring a developer.
With Flynax, a design beyond the theme's options usually means paying a developer or designer. Yclas includes a page builder you use yourself: describe what you want, or change it by hand.
The Yclas page builder
- Describe the change in plain words, such as "darker hero, bigger search, rounder cards", and the AI makes it in a draft you preview before you publish.
- Start from 64 ready-made looks for cars, property, jobs, services, equipment and more, then change colours, fonts, buttons and spacing.
- Build pages from a library of sections: hero with search, categories, latest listings, how it works, locations, map, text, image and text, features, testimonials, FAQ, stats, call to action and logos, plus custom code sections for anything else.
- Drag sections into place, edit text right on the page, and check it on desktop, tablet and phone, next to your live site.
- Write and rewrite text with AI, and use free photos from Pexels and Unsplash or your own.
- Add pages, save blocks to reuse, undo any step, restore an earlier version, schedule publishing up to 90 days ahead, and share a preview link for 7 days.
Included in every plan. Want us to do it for you? Our team also does custom design and development.
The usual route with Flynax
| Theme colour personalization by Flynax [1] | $150 |
|---|---|
| Customizations by Flynax [1] | $45 an hour |
| Your own design integrated as a Flynax template [1] | from $1,495 |
| A mid-level freelance PHP developer in the US [16] | $62 to $100 an hour |
Hourly work adds up with every change: a new section, a seasonal banner or a fix after an update is another job to brief, wait for and pay for.
Moving from Flynax
Yclas reads a Flynax database export directly.
- Export your Flynax database as a .sql or .sql.gz file, the kind phpMyAdmin or your hosting panel makes.
- Start a free trial, choose "I already have a site" in the sign-up wizard, and upload the export in Move your site to Yclas.
- Match the fields, check the dry run (a preview with any errors, nothing is saved yet), then import.
Your listings come across with their categories, prices and photos, and so do user accounts. Passwords are not copied: imported users set a new one. Photos come from a ZIP of your files or from your old site's addresses. You can undo the latest import within 7 days.
When Flynax may be the better choice
- You want a one-time licence and to run the software on your own server.
- You want branded iOS and Android apps from the vendor now: Flynax sells them for $195.
- You plan large changes to the code with your own developers, on a server you control.
- A plugin or template from the Flynax catalogue fits your niche closely.
If none of these fit, and you would rather spend your time on your marketplace than on a server, try Yclas.
