The listing location
The listing title
The listing description

Duplicate
The “Duplicate” button in the top right corner of the listing block will copy the listing.
This is especially useful when creating multiple similar listings with only a few variations.

Users can modify their listings' information through the “Edit” button located next to the “Duplicate” button.
Editing a listing presents the listing information in several sections. At the top of each section is always displayed:
The title of the current listing (figure 5)
A status dropdown button (figure 6) to filter listings
The “Duplicate” button (figure 7)
The “View listing” button (figure 8) to visualize the listing’s public display.
Information banners (figure 9) to guide the user when required
Presentation
This presentation should describe the listing’s services. The information must be brief and extensive to attract the customer.
About
Three text fields build up the presentation section:
The listing title (figure 10) (mandatory)
The description (figure 11) (mandatory)
Click “Save” (figure 13) to save changes.
Categories
Users can update the listing’s categories through the dedicated dropdown multiselection button (figure 14).
Click “Save” to save changes.
Attributes
Users can manage/add attributes here.
Attributes are organized as groups (figure 15.1), which each bearing an attribute group name (figure 15.2) on top of each block.
Attributes can be of different types: free text, checkbox, date, number, select list (figure 15.1).
Click “Save” to save changes.
Media
Users can update and add media elements such as images, videos, and files in this section (figure 16.1).
To add elements, the user either clicks “Click here to select your files” or drags and drops files in the dedicated block (figure 16.2).
Video can be added via their youtube URL (figure 16.3).
Under the drag and drop block, previews of the uploaded media (figure 16.4) are displayed. The user can manage the media order by simple drag and drop (figure 16.4).
The red trash icon deletes a media element.
There is no confirmation message when deleting media elements.
Click “Save” to save changes.
Price & conditions
Users can manage their listings' price rules in this section.
Base price
The base price represents the initial price assigned when a listing is published. This price is visible to users in the listing preview block. However, the final amount a user pays may differ due to potential seasonal pricing adjustments.
The system calculates and displays the listing’s potential income and applicable platform fees based on the specified price (see Figure 17).
To designate a listing as free, the price must be set to zero.
The minimum and maximum listing prices can be modified through the SBO by adjusting the Listing > Minimum Price or Listing > Maximum Price settings. To apply any changes, click Save.
Seasonal prices
The user can choose between 2 types of seasonal prices:
Prices per date (managed through the calendar view)
Recurring prices
Calendar view
Prices per date allow the user to set a specific price per date.
By clicking a date, a price input appears (figure 18) and prompts the user to fill in a price. The user can select date/time ranges by clicking and dragging onto several calendar ranges.
The “Today”, “Day” and “Week” buttons (figure 19) change the calendar display accordingly.
Recurring prices
Recurring prices (figure 20) are a way to set prices over recurring weekdays (e.g. weekends are more expensive than weekdays).
To do so, a user enters:
The price
The applicable date range
The weekdays on which the price will be applied
Upgrades
During the listing edition process, users now have the option to add an upgrade to their listing. For detailed instructions on managing upgrades, refer to the Upgrade Management section.
Settings
Cancellation policy
Users can also manage their listing’s cancellation policy by choosing between a “Flexible” cancellation policy or a “Strict” policy (figure 21).
Minimum and maximum duration
Users can establish a minimum and maximum booking duration for their listing (figure 22).
Discounts
Users can add discounts to their listing through the “Add a new discount” button (figure 23.1).
Each discount is set in percentages based on a threshold to be defined (figure 23.2).
The red trash icon deletes a media element.
There is no confirmation message when deleting a discount.
Calendar
Default listing availabilities are determined by the platform’s configuration. In most cases, platforms set listing calendars to be unavailable by default. To begin receiving booking requests, offerors must manually configure their availabilities.
Calendar
Users can change their listing’s availabilities through this calendar interface.
Greyed-out days are past dates and cannot be edited. White days are non-edited dates (figure 24.1).
Clicking a date/time slot opens a pop-up window (figure 2.2) prompting the user to set availability for the selected period:
Make available: the date turns green (and depending on the platform’s configuration, a price (base or specific according to how prices were set) will be displayed)
Make unavailable: the date turns red
Users can also click and drag to select several dates/time slots to do bulk changes.
A “reset availabilities” button (Figure 24.3) is available at the top of the calendar block. This deletes all calendar settings and resets to default settings (usually a calendar with no availabilities).
Advanced
This advanced calendar tool allows users to quickly set their availabilities over large periods.
The parameters available are:
Status: “available” or “unavailable” (figure 25.1)
Date range with the start date and the end date (and hours depending on the platform’s configuration) (figure 25.2)
Weekdays to apply these changes to (figure 25.3)
Click “Save” to save changes.
Synchronization
The synchronization tool helps users import an external agenda’s events into the on-platform agenda and turn them into unavailabilities. To do so, the user enters the external agenda’s URL (figure 26).
Click “Save” to save changes.

Address
The “address” section manages the listing’s address (figure 27).
Confirm the address and click on “Save” to save changes.
Delete a listing
Users can delete listings through the listing status dropdown menu available throughout the listing edition sections (figure 28).
A confirmation message prompts the user to validate the deletion.
A deleted listing is no longer listed in the users' dashboard or search results. However, all related bookings, messages, and payments remain listed for history and tracking purposes.
