Hello Elfsight Team,
I’d like to suggest a new type of widget for your platform — a Classified Ads Widget, designed to let website visitors create and browse listings for selling or exchanging items directly on a site.
Here’s how I imagine it working:
-
User registration/login: Users could sign in using their social media accounts (Google, Facebook, X, etc.) to create a personal profile.
-
Free posting: Users could post ads for free, including title, description, price, category, and images/GIFs.
-
Contact visibility: The ad could display limited contact information (such as email or WhatsApp link) or use an internal message form for privacy.
-
Admin moderation: Site owners would be able to approve or delete ads, set duration for listings, or enable paid promotion (featured ads).
-
Categories and filters: Allow browsing by category, price range, city, and keywords.
-
Optional data consent: Users would explicitly consent to share contact information for marketing or community purposes when posting an ad.
This kind of widget would be incredibly useful for small communities, local marketplaces, or service-based websites that want to foster interaction among users.
It could also integrate with tools like Google Maps (for item location) and Stripe or PayPal (for featured ad payments).
Thank you for considering this idea — I really believe a Classified Ads Widget could become one of the most valuable additions to Elfsight’s lineup!
Best regards,
Klayton Georgio
