How do I create a stand alone item as a listing in BidWrangler?

Required Fields

Listings have several required fields to properly display in the app and website.  Other fields are optional, and used at the auctioneer's discretion as needed for the item.

Every listing will require the following fields:

  • "Name"
  • "Description"
  • "Images"
  • "Listing?"


To create a listing first navigate to the BidWrangler admin portal, and select item from the left menu:

Next, click create at the top menu bar:

Displayed will be all fields needed to create a listing (EXCEPT FOR THE "LISTING?" CHECKBOX THIS IS IN THE LISTING SECTION BELOW):

REQUIRED FIELDS

  • "Name" - This is a required field.  This is the name associated to the listing that will be displayed
  • "Description" - This is a required field.  This is the primary listing description for the item.  This will be displayed to bidders in the listing.  HTML can be input into this field, as well as hyperlinks to other web pages.
  • "Images" - This is a required field.  This will upload an image for this listing.  At least one item image is required for the item to properly publish, but an item can be saved, and an image added at a later time through the bulk uploader.  For uploading many images quickly through bulk image upload, refer to this document - How do I bulk upload images for an item in BidWrangler?

SUGGESTED FIELDS:

  • "Documents" - Add a document to your listing that will be listed below the its description.
  • "Videos" - Add a video to your listing that will be displaying in the image carousel. Use the embed code from YouTube or Vimeo.
  • "Location" - A street address for the listing.

LISTINGS:

  • "Listing?" - This is required and will mark the item as a listing within the app and website.
  • "Listing Published" - This will publish the listing to the app and website. Leave unset while you are setting this listing up.
  • "Listing complete" - This will un-publish the listing from the app and website.
  • "Listing Button Label" - This field determines the text that will display on the button for the item listing.  Commonly, text such as "Call Now!" would link in the field below to a phone number, and text such as "Click Here" would link to an outside webpage/URL.
  • "Listing URL" - This field links the "Listing Button Label" field to an outside link.  Typically, this would just be a website address.  However, a URL can be created that will dial a phone number(tel:5551234567) or send a text message(sms:5551234567).  If it is typical that the majority of bidders would be using mobile devices for this listing, exploring these other advanced URLs may be useful.  
  • "Listing Price" - If provided this price will be used to sort listing.
  • "Sort Index" - Will determine the position of the listing in the list.
