      Publish a listing on the marketplace

      Here we walk you through creating and publishing a listing on the marketplace.

      For whom?

      This article is intended for you as a visitor to the marketplace. We will go through both how to place an listing and what to do if you receive an order for one of your listed items.

       

      How to create a listing

      To create a listing on the marketplace, start by creating the article or articles that will be included in the listing. Once that's done, you can publish the listing itself.

      When creating articles, fill in information about the article or articles to be included in the listing, but feel free to leave any fields blank if you wish. Remember that you can only add articles of the same model in a single listing. If you have multiple articles to advertise where the model varies (e.g., a black bookshelf and a white one), you'll need to create a listing for each model.

       

      1 - Create items

      1. Log in to palats.io or the mobile app.
      2. Click on Listings in the left-hand menu.

      4. Click on Create articles.
      5. Take a picture on the mobile or add a picture by clicking on Upload images.
      6. Choose a category by searching or browsing the category tree. Try to avoid selecting categories labeled Other, since these do not generate climate calculations for your organization
      7. Fill in the requested specifications (it's okay to leave fields blank).
      8. Select the condition of the articles. For example, if you have three identical chairs in very different condition. You can also add photos showing the condition if you wish. 
      9. Enter the number of articles included in the listing. For example, if you have 5 bookshelves, enter "5".
      10. Click Save article when you´re done, and continue with the steps below to publish the listing. 

      2 - Publish the listing

      After adding your articles, it's time to provide the information you want to appear in the listing.

      1. Enter the responsible advertiser.
      2. Fill in which organization you belong to.
      3. Provide the contact details of the contact person.
      4. Activate the button if it should be a time-limited advertisement.
      5. Enter a new headline if needed. 
      6. Describe the article if you wish. The specifications you provided when creating the articles will automatically appear in the listing.
