I've created an ad, but my ad doesn't show up in the marketplace. Where can I find my ad?
- You can find all your ads on the My Ads page.
- If you want your ad to be seen publicly in the marketplace, don't forget to select Public during the ad creation.
- If you only want to share it privately via QR code or URL link, then select Private and your ad will not be posted in the marketplace.

How do I share ads?

What does Active and Inactive ad status mean?
- If your ad is Active and Public at the same time, your ad will be posted in the marketplace.
- If your ad is Active and Private, you can only take orders privately via shared QR code or URL link.
- If your ad is Inactive and Public, your ad will not be shown in the marketplace and you'll not be able to accept any orders.
- If your ad is Inactive and Private, your ad can still be shared privately, but you'll not be able to accept any orders.
You can toggle the ad to become Active or Inactive in Ad status
What does Online and Offline user status mean?
- This user status enables you, as a merchant, to take a break from accepting orders. You can toggle between Online and Offline on the My Ads page.
- If your status is set to Online, all your Active ads will be able to accept orders.
- If your status is set to Offline, all your Active ads will not be able to accept new orders. Meanwhile, you can still process existing orders on your My Orders page.
- If your ad is Public, your ad will be temporarily hidden from the marketplace.
You can set your ad to be Online or Offline
Why is my ad hidden from the marketplace?
- There are no expiry dates on your ads. However, your ads will be hidden from the marketplace if:
- You run out of crypto on your ad; or
- Your ad price is set out of range from the current market price; or
- You set your ad to Private when defining the Trading Rules; or
- Your verification isn't complete; or
- You have set your user status to Offline.
Are there any transaction fees for posting ads or accepting orders?
