The Marketplace is a way you can monetize on the site and let your users also monetize by selling their products or services or whatever you allow to be sold on your site. This tutorial will help you set up your Marketplace. 

User Group Permissions

Setting up your Marketplace with User Group Permissions can help you earn as you can charge subscription fees for people to be able to list items, buy items, etc. 

• Once you are in the User Group Permissions area, select the User Group you want to edit and choose Marketplace.
• Set "Can Create a Listing" to Yes. This setting will allow the user to make a listing in your marketplace if they are in the user group you are setting it for. There is another setting that will enable the Buy Now button and we will go over that next.

Enabling the Buy Now Button

If you want your users to be able to use instant payments (provided Paypal is enabled or you've added other payment gateways), you can follow these steps to enable the setting per User Group.

• When editing the User Group settings for the group you want to allow the Buy Now button for, still in the Marketplace settings shown above, find the setting "Can sell items on the Marketplace" and set it to Yes.

You'll want to visit the Marketplace Settings in order to set up your marketplace how you want it. This shows how to set various settings.
