Directorist Mark as Sold is a dynamic extension designed for the Directorist ecosystem that allows listing authors to show visitors whether a particular item has already been sold or not. This tool solves a common problem on directory and classifieds sites: when a visitor tries to buy an item that is no longer available, resulting in a frustrating user experience and a waste of time for both the buyer and the seller.
With this extension, business owners can mark their items as sold directly from the dashboard, clearly and immediately informing users which items are still available. Additionally, it includes an extra option called "mark as negotiating," which allows owners to indicate that an item is in the process of negotiation, either automatically upon receiving a submission from the contact form or manually from the dashboard.
Key features include displaying a "Sold" badge on listings, customizing the badge text according to site preferences, and the flexibility to show the badge only on the author profile page, only in the dashboard, or in both locations along with the all listings page. This versatility allows administrators to adapt the visibility of the sale status to the specific needs of their platform.
The extension is especially designed for classifieds sites, product directories, marketplaces, and any platform where items may become unavailable after a successful sale. By keeping listings visible but clearly marked as sold, the historical value of the content is preserved, and users are prevented from wasting time contacting sellers about items that are no longer on the market.
Directorist Mark as Sold improves transparency and trust in your directory, reducing unnecessary inquiries and ensuring that the information displayed is always accurate and up to date. It is the ideal solution for maintaining a clean, professional, and efficient marketplace where both buyers and sellers enjoy an optimal experience.
