ShopClass
Running a niche marketplace should not mean renting listings from a platform that owns your audience; ShopClass lets you launch your own classifieds site, job board, property portal, or local marketplace. Sellers post listings with photos organized by categories and hierarchical locations, and each category carries its own custom fields, so vehicles ask for make, model, and mileage while jobs ask for salary and type and homes ask for rooms and area. Visitors search and filter across everything with SEO-friendly URLs, registered users manage their own listings, and moderation tools keep spam and abuse under control. You can charge for the privilege through paid plans and listing upgrades such as fees, premium placement, bumps, and highlights, turning the site into a business rather than a hobby. Static pages with a built-in editor cover the rest of the site, themes reshape the frontend, plugins extend it through the established Osclass extension API, and multi-language support serves audiences in their own language. Photos live on disk or S3-compatible storage, cleanup tools purge expired and blocked content, and a one-click updater pulls new releases when you are ready. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
Benefits
- Any Listing Site You Imagine
- The same engine runs classifieds, job boards, property portals, vehicle marketplaces, and business directories, because categories, locations, and custom fields reshape listings for each purpose.
- Revenue Built Into Listings
- Paid plans and upgrades charge listing fees and sell premium placement, bumps, and highlights, so a popular community marketplace can fund itself instead of relying on donations.
- An Upgrade Path From Osclass
- As the maintained successor to Osclass, ShopClass keeps the plugin and theme APIs and helper functions existing extensions expect, while modernizing the frontend and PHP codebase.
- Moderation And Cleanup Included
- User moderation, CAPTCHA, two-step admin sign-in, and built-in cleanup for expired, spam, blocked, and unactivated content keep a public listing site manageable for a small team.
