Adding apps to your marketplace
To have a fully functioning marketplace, you may need a few more features:
- The ability for customers to add their favorite listings to a wish list and save them for later.
- A messaging system to let users send messages to each other.
- A way for sellers to add free or paid options on their listings.
- Let sellers make their listing more attractive by letting them add more pictures.
- Allow a location search and display a Google Map on listings.
- Display social share buttons on each listing.
- Add tags to listings to improve search and classification.
- etc.
These features can easily be added by installing apps. To install an app, click on App Store.
Then, pick the app you'd like to install and click Install. Right after clicking Install, the app will be installed in an instant and you'll be redirected to the app settings. Click on the toggle under Activate {app name} plugin to enable it.
