Allow users to buy placement of classified adverts on your website, so they can list things for sale.

Customers are given a control panel (the classifieds module) that shows their adverts and allows renewal.

Notifications are sent the day before an advert expires.

Fully integrated with catalogues, eCommerce, and Conversr member accounts.

You can set up multiple price points for placing classified adverts in catalogues (catalogue entries).
This allows you to define discounts to customers buying longer listing periods. You can also set up a free period if you wish to.

The basic process for setting up this addon is:

1. Create a catalogue for the adverts (Content Management > Catalogues > Add Catalogue)
2. Set the fields for the catalogue as appropriate
3. Set the permissions to "Add/Post/Submit entries" (i.e. not unvetted, not bypassing validation)
4. Add whatever categories you want to your catalogue
5. Go to Admin Zone > Setup > Classifieds pricing
6. Set prices up against your catalogue
7. Make sure your catalogue is on your menus

Users will find add links when browsing the catalogue. Their entries will be added as not validated. From their classifieds module they may then pay for their classified advert to go live (this uses the eCommerce module, validating the entry upon payment).

This addon does not itself handle the transaction to purchase what is being advertised. Payment is a private matter between the buyer and seller. The eCommerce aspect of classifieds is the advertiser paying the webmaster (i.e. you) for the right to put an advertisement up.
