Marketplace visibility
The four conditions that put your business in browse, search, collections, and the map.
BZAR shows your business in the marketplace — browse, search, collections, and the map — only when four conditions are all true. Your storefront link can stay live even when you are not in the marketplace.
The four conditions
| Condition | Where to check it |
|---|---|
| Your account is active | Your account status with BZAR |
| Public Page is on | Settings → Business |
| Your marketplace listing is on | Managed by the BZAR team |
| You list at least one service | The Services field on the Business tab |
If any one condition is false, you do not appear in browse, search, collections, or the map.
Storefront link vs. marketplace
The direct link to your storefront has weaker requirements. It works when your account is active and Public Page is on. The marketplace listing and the services list do not affect it.
This means you can share your storefront link with customers before you appear in the marketplace. Customers who open the link can view your page and your listings.
How to improve your visibility
- Open Settings and turn on Public Page. See storefront setup.
- Add every service category you serve in the Services field.
- Activate at least one listing. See create and edit listings.
Good to know
- Search filters vendors by service categories. A missing category hides you from those searches.
- Turning Public Page off removes you from the marketplace and from your storefront link. You still appear in event directories after an organizer approves you.
