Getting Started with ryta: a guide to setting up your profile and listings

1. Setup your Profile

Once you have signed up, you will want to build out your profile. Your profile within the marketplace establishes credibility and trust with potential customers by showcasing who you are, your services and what you can do. It helps customers make informed decisions and enhances your visibility leading to increase sales and customer loyalty.

Go to Profile Settings

1. Add a Profile Picture
2. Provide your First and Last Name
3. Provide your Display Name

2. Set up your Stripe Account

Go to Account Settings

1. Ensure all contact details are accurate and that you have verified your email address. You will not be able to make a sale without this.
2. Select options provided within “Payout details” and then select the green “Get Verified” button to setup and then Link your account to Stripe. Note you will be transferred to Stripe to verify your payment and payout details. Note that you must link a checking or savings account and not a credit card.
3. You do not need to setup Payment Method, this is only for Customers who are purchasing services/rentals.

3. Create your Listings

Go to Your Listings

1. Go to Post a new Listing
2. Select the Category your listing falls under and then a Sub category
3. Enter the Listing Title, a detailed description, and the Location where you are located. This is important so that customers can see where you are based out of. You can also mention how far you are willing to travel in this section. For example, X mile radius, towns or counties.
4. Enter your Location. This is how the geotagging within the map search feature helps customers search for you based on location. It is OK to only enter a city and state.
5. Enter Price. While it may say price per day, it is asking what the cost of your service or rental is for the specific listing per day. If you are renting a tent and it cost $300, enter $300.
6. Set Availability, You can adjust the schedule as needed. When you select a day, “orders” will pop up. This references the # of products you can offer in one day. An example is, I own a tent rental company and my listing is for a medium sized tent. I own 6 medium tents and can rent out 6 per Saturday. This vendor would select 6 in the orders section so that 6 customers can rent their tent in one given day.
7. Add Photos to highlight your offerings. Take the time to upload exceptional quality photos of your actual product or offering. You can upload multiple photos.
8. Your listing will be pending approval until a ryta admin reviews both your Stripe account verification and your listing. This is typically approved within 24-48 hours.

Note: The above steps will take 30-45 minutes to complete in total.

Once your profile is setup, be sure to include the ryta url of your profile to your social accounts for a greater reach.

Do this by clicking the pink circle on top right with your profile initials and then Select Profile Settings > Select View Your Profile. Once you are on your profile you can copy the url to use as a a link for socials.
