Introduction
Building a strong community involves more than just managing properties—it’s about creating connections between residents. Accez.Cloud’s marketplace feature enables residents to buy and sell items directly with their neighbors, fostering community engagement while providing convenient local commerce. This guide shows you how to create and manage marketplace listings effectively.
What is the Marketplace Feature?
The marketplace is a dedicated section within your property where residents can:
- Sell new or used items to neighbors
- Browse items available from other residents
- Show interest in listings by clicking the heart icon
- Connect directly with sellers via email
This feature strengthens community bonds while providing a convenient platform for local transactions.
Who Can Create Marketplace Listings?
Marketplace listings can be created by:
- Residents: Directly listing their items for sale
- Property Managers: Creating listings on behalf of residents who need assistance
This dual-creation capability ensures all residents can participate, regardless of technical comfort level.
Step 1: Navigate to the Marketplace
From your dashboard, navigate to the Properties section and select the property where you want to create a marketplace listing. Once in the property view, click on the “Marketplace” tab.
Step 2: Create Your First Listing

A new page will open with the marketplace listing creation form.
