Exchanges

Using the Exchanges feature, organizations can offer their members, staff, constituents and others the opportunity to operate public or private exchanges for the purpose of selling products, promoting jobs, posting resumes, running speakers bureaus, songs and document selling 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 members and service providers, which does not involve your organization directly.

Exchanges feature benefits include:

• Members, staff, constituents and others can operate public or private exchanges.
   
• Maintain product exchanges, service exchanges, job posting exchanges, resume posting exchanges, speakers bureaus, art galleries, lost and found, used equipment exchange, trainer consultancies and all sorts of other transaction networks.
   
• Define an unlimited number of exchanges.
   
• Exchange listings can be free of charge or on a fee paid basis.
   
• User defined exchange fields.
   
• Customize field display and search template distinctly for each exchange.
   
• Provide photo insert capability.
   
• Exchanges can be entirely visitor maintained or under the control of your organization.
   
• Accept exchange use payment online.
