Sponsored Placement

Sponsored Placement lets a signed-in seller request promoted placement for one of the seller’s own eligible listings. It is a manual-review workflow; submitting payment/reference information does not automatically activate the placement.

Step 1 — Open Sponsor Listing

Sign in, open Sponsor Listing or use a sponsorship action from your Selling dashboard. Only your eligible listings should be available for selection.

Step 2 — Select the listing and package

Choose the listing, then choose the current package displayed by the live page. The theme currently supports 7-day, 14-day and 30-day Spotlight-style packages, but package prices can be changed by the site administrator; always rely on the live amount shown.

Step 3 — Placement quote

Refresh/select an available placement quote. The queue can change. A position is not permanently reserved simply because it was shown before the request was approved.

Step 4 — Payment information

Choose one of the payment methods configured on the live form and enter the transaction/reference information requested there. If the interface offers an extra bid amount, enter it only if you intentionally want to increase the request amount.

Step 5 — Submit for review

Submit the request. Sitehix reviews the payment/reference details and the requested placement before activation.

Status meanings

• Pending approval — submitted and waiting for review.
• Sponsored — approved and active.
• Rejected — not approved.
• Expired — the approved sponsorship period ended.

Renewals and queue changes

An active listing may show that a renewal is awaiting review. Queue position can change as requests are approved, expire or are upgraded. Use the current Sponsorship page/dashboard status rather than an old screenshot or earlier quote.
