The Listing Deposit for Time-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 time increments, such as hours or days.
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 (Time-Based)
To understand how this step is reached during the listing process creation, refer to the Rendering Type Selection (Commoditized) section in the documentation.
The base price represents the standard rate for the service. This rate can be configured on a per-hour or per-day basis by adjusting the "Time Unit" setting in the SBO to 60 for hourly pricing or 1440 for daily pricing. Once the listing is complete, users can further refine their pricing policies on the listing edition page. This includes applying discounts and setting variable pricing for different dates. Depending on the value entered and the platform fees, the potential income is automatically displayed.
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.
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.
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 (TIme-Based rendering type) - Delete a listing
