With this feature, you’ll be able to create your own Classifieds Ads platform for your clients.

To use this feature, you have to create a Google Maps JavaScript API: Click here to learn how to create this API key.

First, click on the classifieds in the “Add pages” section, to add this feature to your app.

First, you have to create a “Section” (for example Cars/Motorcycle):

classifieds categoriesClick on add to add it.

Now that you have created a section, let’s create some categories (At least one is required):

classifieds add categoriesClick on add to add a category. You can create as many sections and categories as you want, there is no restriction.

classifieds category sectionWhen you create a new section, users will be able to add product’s ads to this section, but if you create categories for this section, users will have to add product inside the categories and not right in the section itself.

In that example, people won’t be able to add a product in the section “Cars/motorcycle”, but will have to choose between “Big cars” or “Small motorcycle“. 

In the App

To create an ad, open the app and select the Classifieds feature.

Then click on my shop on the bottom of the screen.

You can decide to hide the phone number or the address on the ad, but know that if your address is hidden, then the ad won’t be visible on the public map.

Be sure to have filled out every case or the ad will not be accepted.

Click on “Save”, the ad is now published!
