How to Setup Marketplace

Set up a secure resident Marketplace, manage listing approvals, and configure categories and auto-approval settings in this feature.

The Marketplace feature transforms your Resident Portal into a secure, building‑only trading hub, where residents can easily list items for sale and other residents can quickly browse and buy within the community.
The Marketplace feature enables residents to create and publish listings directly in the Resident Portal, where other residents in the building can view available items and choose to purchase them.
 
All resident-submitted listings are reviewed by the Building Manager, who can approve or reject them according to set criteria, helping ensure the marketplace remains appropriate and high quality for the building community.
