Site settings
The site management area is where you run an individual marketplace. When you open a site from the Sites page, you land on its Home page — a getting-started guide — with a sidebar for moving between the site's management sections.
The site management sidebar
Every page within a site shares a sidebar for getting around the management area:
- Home — a getting-started guide for testing and setting up your marketplace
- View marketplace — opens your live storefront in a new tab
- Manage
- Users — the accounts registered on your marketplace (learn more)
- Build
- General — your site name and the option to delete the site
- Categories — your marketplace's category structure (learn more)
- Back to sites — return to the Sites list
Account settings are different
These settings apply to a single marketplace site. To update your admin profile, password, or team, use Account settings instead.
Home: getting started
The Home page walks you through getting your marketplace ready, in two steps.
Step 1 — Test the marketplace
Experience your marketplace from your customers' point of view. Each step links straight to the relevant storefront page:
- Register an account on your storefront
- Publish a listing from your new account
- Register a second account (log out first) to act as a second party
- Find the published listing by browsing
- Start a conversation with the seller to test messaging
Step 2 — Complete the marketplace setup
Finish preparing your marketplace. The first task is to add or adjust your listing categories.
General
The General page holds your site's core details.
- Site name — the name of your marketplace. Enter a new name and save to rename your site.
To open your storefront, use the View marketplace link in the sidebar.
Delete a site
Site owners can permanently delete a site from the bottom of the General page. You'll be asked to confirm by entering the site's name.
Deleting a site can't be undone
Deleting a site permanently removes it and its data. There is no undo.
Subdomains
Each site gets a unique subdomain based on its name. For example, a site named "Acme Classifieds" might get the subdomain acme.on-yclas.com.
The subdomain is generated automatically when you create the site. It's derived from the site name — spaces are replaced with hyphens and the text is lowercased.
Subdomain uniqueness
Subdomains must be unique across all Yclas Neo sites. If a subdomain is already taken, Yclas Neo will append a number to make it unique (for example, acme-2.on-yclas.com).
