The Listing Deposit for Seat-Based Rendering process involves creating a listing on a platform to showcase services offered or required. This functionality enables vendors to create listings where pricing is determined based on number of seats booked for a session.
To deposit a listing, users must be registered and logged into the platform. The Log In and Register options must be utilized to gain access to this feature.
In a non-switch platform configuration, only vendors can create listings.
The user fills in the following information to create a listing page as displayed in the following section - Show a listing (Set Based)
To understand how this step is reached during the listing process creation, refer to the Rendering Type Selection (Commoditized) section in the documentation.
In the seat-based rendering type, the base price is determined by multiplying the price per participant by the total number of participants in a session at the time of booking.
Additionally, vendors have the option to offer a free session by selecting the "Free Session" checkbox.
The system also factors in platform fees per participant, which can be configured by an administrator through the SBO under "Platform Asker Fees" or "Platform Offerer Fees" within the configuration settings.
For the Seat-Based rendering type, the vendor must configure the system to notify the customer of the session duration.
In the final section of this block, the vendor is required to specify the maximum number of participants permitted to attend each session.
In this section, the vendor is required to configure session availability by specifying the start and end dates for each session, along with the corresponding time range. Additionally, the vendor can define the specific days of the week within the selected date range when the sessions will be available.
Categories provide a structured way to describe listings and organize them into sections, enhancing the user experience during the search process. They help streamline navigation and improve discoverability. For details on configuring categories, refer to the Listing Category Management section.
Multiple categories can be selected for a single listing.
Proceed to step 4 by clicking “Proceed to step 4 of 4”.
Attributes provide an additional layer of information to describe a listing. They are structured, searchable entities that are associated with specific categories. The available attributes may vary depending on the category selected for a listing. A "*" symbol displayed on the right side of an attribute field indicates that the attribute is mandatory. For detailed instructions on creating and managing attributes, refer to the Listing Attributes Management section.
The Address section allows the vendor to provide the location where the service will be performed. The following details must be entered at this step:
Country (dropdown field)
City (mandatory)
ZIP Code
Street Number
Street Name
If the full address is not mandatory on the listing, the user can click on the arrow icon in order to hide the ZIP, Number, and Route.
The “Confirm Address” checks the information and displays the location on the right-hand map.
At the conclusion of the listing deposit process, the user must check the "I accept the Terms and Conditions" checkbox and select either "Publish your listing" or "Save as a draft". Choosing "Save as a draft" will create the listing without publishing it, and it will be marked as "Hidden" in the user's Dashboard.
The listing information entered by the user can be viewed through the dashboard. To access it, navigate through the following path: Dashboard > Listing > [Listing Name] > Presentation. Further details about this page can be found in the article below: Listings dashboard (Seat-based rendering type) - Presentation.
During the listing deposit process, the user can update the listing’s information by clicking “Back to step X” (figure 10). This redirects the user to the previous step in which he can edit the previously entered information.
The offeror can also update the listing’s translations manually via the language icon (figure 11.1).
The user then selects the desired language through a list of available languages (figure 11.2).
An automatic translation is set up by default. Any non-manually translated fields are automatically translated.
Once the listing deposit process is done, the user can set additional information such as the calendar, seasonal price, etc through their dashboard described in the related article: Listings dashboard (Time-Based rendering type) - Edit
Users cannot delete a listing during the listing deposit process as it is not published yet. They can, however, interrupt the deposit process. When it happens, in the SBO the listing will be tagged as a Draft Status.
A published listing can be deleted through the listing user’s dashboard: Listings dashboard (Seat-Based rendering type) - Delete a listing
