PortalProdigy Key Features >> Classified Ads and Exchanges

Using PortalProdigy’s Exchange feature you can offer your customers, community, members, staff, vendors, and others the opportunity to operate public or private exchanges for the purpose of selling products or services (classified ads), running speakers bureaus, file sharing, audio and video libraries, and other sharing networks. Create public participation exchanges such as resume and job posting boards, vendor operated catalogs, trainer or speakers bureaus, and other visitor operated organization sponsored bazaars or markets. Define a virtually unlimited number of exchanges which can be public or private, free of charge or on a fee paid basis. Payment for participation can be accepted online using credit cards or other payment options. The Exchanges Feature differs from the Online Product Catalog Feature in that it fosters commerce or exchange between a defined group of external participants, such as customers, members and service providers, which does not involve your organization directly.
