The Add-ons page

One searchable page for every optional feature and outside service, from a blog, forum and memberships to payments, webhooks and AI assistants, with a guide for each.

The Add-ons page is where you switch on everything optional on your marketplace. It has two kinds of cards:

  • Built-in features that come with Yclas, such as a blog, a forum, reviews, memberships or messaging. They are there from the start, switched off, so your marketplace stays simple until you need more.
  • Outside services you connect with a key from another company, such as Stripe, Mailgun or Google Maps, and automation tools such as webhooks and AI assistants. See Integrations for the full list.

Addons and Integrations used to be two separate pages. They are now one page called Add-ons, in the Configure part of the admin panel menu. Old links and bookmarks still work: they open the new page. Every add-on’s own settings page is unchanged.

Find an add-on or integration

  1. In the admin panel menu, under Configure, click Add-ons.
  2. Type in Search add-ons… to find one by name or by what it does, or click a tab such as Payments, Automation or Content. All shows everything.
  3. Click the card. Cards that are already on show an On label and a Manage link; the others say Set up.

The header tells you how many add-ons are on, and has a link to your site’s API & webhook docs for developers.

Tab What’s in it
Payments Payment gateways, plus Subscriptions, eWallet and Bookings.
Email Services that send your site’s emails, and Mailchimp.
Automation Webhooks, API keys, the MCP server for AI assistants, and Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Slack and HubSpot. Webhooks and the services that use them come with the Professional and Marketplace plans; API keys and the MCP server with the Marketplace plan.
Social Social posting, Facebook comments, Disqus and Smartarget.
Analytics Google Analytics, Algolia search, Logbee and the AdBlock detector.
Maps Google Maps and Auto locate.
Security Captchas, spam filters, two-step login, Social login, Black list and Trust & safety.
Vehicles, Media, Notifications Vehicle data, file and video uploads, and notifications.
Content Blog, Forums, FAQ and Reviews.
Other Messaging, Add to home screen, and a few services such as OpenStreetMap and Sign in with Apple.

Administrators see every card. Members of other roles only see the cards for the pages their role lets them open. Webhooks, API keys, the MCP server and the ready-made webhook add-ons (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Slack, HubSpot) are for administrators only.

Switch a built-in feature on or off

  1. Go to Add-ons and click the feature’s card.
  2. Use the switch at the top, such as Enable messaging. Some features have extra settings on the same page.
  3. Click Save changes in the bar at the bottom.

Some cards carry a PRO label from the days when they were paid extras; it doesn’t tell you which plan a feature needs. A few features come with the Professional or Marketplace plan, such as memberships, bookings, webhooks, API keys and the MCP server: see Compare plans.

When you switch on a feature that has content to manage, a new item appears in the admin panel menu: Blog, FAQ, Forum, Reviews, Subscriptions or Transaction. Switching a feature off hides it from your site and the menu but keeps its content, so nothing is lost if you turn it back on.
