Thank-you page after posting
Choose what members see right after they post a listing, and use it to explain what happens next.
After someone posts a listing, your site shows a thank-you page. By default it says Thanks for submitting your listing (in the Nova theme) with a few buttons. You can replace that heading and add your own text: what happens next, how long review takes, tips for selling faster, or an offer to feature the listing.
Set your own thank-you page
- Go to Pages and create the page members should see, for example Thanks for your listing!, with your text. Switch on Published and click Create page. See Pages.
- Go to Listings › Settings.
- Under Posting, choose that page in Thank You Page.
- Click Save changes in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
Post a test listing to see it. To go back to the standard page, set Thank You Page back to Deactivated.
The page you choose is not listed in your site’s footer with your other pages, since it only makes sense after posting.
What the thank-you page shows
| Part | When |
|---|---|
| Your page’s title and text | When you’ve chosen a Thank You Page. Otherwise the standard heading. |
| Go to Your Listing | When listings go live straight away (moderation set to Post directly). |
| Go Featured! with the price | When members can pay to feature a listing and this one isn’t featured. See Featured listings. |
| Share on Facebook | When Show Sharing Buttons is on in Listings › Settings. |
| My Listings | Always: a link to the member’s own listings. |
If posting costs money, members go to the payment page first instead of the thank-you page.
What to write
Match the text to how listings go live on your site (see Moderation):
- Listings go live straight away: congratulate them, and suggest sharing the listing or adding more photos.
- You review listings first: say when they can expect it to go live, for example “within 24 hours”, and that they’ll get an email.
- Members confirm by email: remind them to click the link in the email you’ve just sent, and to check their spam folder.
A short list of selling tips or a link to your FAQ also works well. Keep it short: the member has just finished a form.
