Litter Management is designed to help you manage your litters and individual pets for sale. This update makes it easier to organise, update, and showcase your pets to potential buyers.
What is Litter Management?
Litter Management lets you provide specific details for each pet in your litter, including a photo, name, gender, description, and individual price. If you prefer not to use this feature, that’s okay - your advert will still be listed. However, adding these details can make your advert stand out more to potential buyers.
How to update your existing listing with Litter Management
- We’ve created draft versions of your currently live listings with this feature already included, so it’s easy for you to review, edit, and publish updates.
- Go to the advert you want to update under "My Adverts." Click "Edit."
- Then click "Manage litter"
- Select "Click to add information." This allows you to update individual pet details such as names, photos, prices, and descriptions. You can also preview any changes before publishing them.
- If you make a mistake, don’t worry. You can adjust most details, or even remove one pet for sale if needed (confirmation will be required). For most changes, you can edit the details directly in the advert before or after it has been submitted.
- When finished, just save and publish. If you decide not to provide specific details for a pet, placeholders (e.g., default names and prices) will be displayed instead.
Known issues and current constraints
While Litter Management is already making adverts detailed and more attractive, some areas are still being improved:
- The order of pets in the list is random right now.
- Only one photo per pet is allowed, and it must be chosen from your existing litter gallery. You may choose to use the same photo for multiple pets.
- Descriptions for individual pets are limited to 255 characters.
- Changing the litter size or gender of pets in older litters (over 3 weeks for dogs or 6 weeks for cats) is restricted.
These limitations are temporary, and we’re actively working to enhance your experience.
FAQ
What if I don’t want to use this feature?
You do not need to use the Litter Management feature, and can skip this step while creating your listing. Your advert will still function as usual.
Can I use this for individual pets or adult animals?
Yes! The litter section will automatically include a single entry if you're advertising one pet for sale.
What if I make a mistake?
You can edit names, prices, and descriptions whenever needed.
How do I manage pet availability?
We’re developing a feature that will allow you to update the availability for each pet. It will soon be available in "My Adverts." For now, to let your buyer's know if pet has been sold you can add "SOLD" or "RESERVED" to the name of any pet which is no longer available.
Can I accept Pet Payments for individual pets?
Not yet, but we are working on this option.
What’s Next?
