Switching from Kleinanzeigen-Enhanced

If you have worked with Kleinanzeigen-Enhanced so far, the most important difference is this: in clasify Business you no longer maintain changes directly on individual Kleinanzeigen ads. The central place is the Inventar (Inventory) or a connected product source such as Shopify.

The inventory is the central place for article data, changes and platform actions.

The key difference

In Kleinanzeigen-Enhanced, many changes were made directly on existing Kleinanzeigen ads. In clasify Business, things are set up differently:

• The inventory article holds the article data you maintain.
• The ad on Kleinanzeigen or Flinkanzeigen is created from this article.
• You make changes to the article or the connected source first.
• clasify then transfers the change to the platform, as soon as the article is saved with live update or an active sync is set up for it.

In short

You no longer edit each platform ad as its own data source. You maintain the article centrally and then use it for one or more platforms.

Where you maintain changes

Without Shopify

If you have not connected a Shopify store, you maintain changes directly in the inventory article.

Open Inventar (Inventory).

Open the article you want.

Change the title, description, price, images, location or other details.

Save the article.

If the article is already live, save it in a way that lets clasify update the active ad.

With Shopify

If Shopify is connected and auto-sync is active, Shopify is in many cases the leading product source. In that case, you maintain product data in Shopify first. clasify then syncs it according to your sync settings.

This applies especially to data such as:

• Product title
• Price
• Description
• Images
• Stock or availability, if these fields are synced

Keep Shopify sync in mind

If a field is synced from Shopify, you should not keep overwriting it manually in the inventory. The next sync may replace your change with the Shopify value again.

Changing attributes and properties

If you want to change a property, for example material, color, condition, dimensions or what is included, you maintain it in the article text.

Typical places are:

• Titel (Title), if the property is short and relevant to the sale.
• Beschreibung (Description), if the property needs explaining or includes several details.

Examples:

• Dining table wood becomes Dining table solid oak.
• In the description, you add Dimensions: 180 x 90 cm.
• good condition becomes very good condition, only slight signs of use.

clasify then uses this information for the ad. You no longer need to enter the same change separately in each platform view.

Bulk editing in clasify Business

In clasify Business, bulk editing works through the inventory. You select several articles and edit them together or run a shared platform action.

Typical actions are:

• edit several articles,
• publish several articles,
• pause or activate several ads,
• remove several ads,
• schedule several articles,
• sync several articles.

The difference from Kleinanzeigen-Enhanced: you do not work directly on a list of individual Kleinanzeigen ads, but on your central articles and their platform status.

Updating live ads

If an article is already published, it is not always enough to save the inventory article only locally. Save it with live update if the change should also become visible on Kleinanzeigen or Flinkanzeigen. clasify then transfers the changed data to the active ad.

More on this: Edit articles and update them live.

Recommended way of working

First maintain new or existing articles properly in the inventory.

Use Shopify as the source if your range is maintained there.

Write important properties in the title or description.

Publish or update ads from the inventory.

Only use bulk actions after you have filtered and checked the selection.
