What is vacation mode? What does unpublishing an item do?
If you want to temporarily stop lending your item or items, you have a couple of options in your Fat Llama account.
If a specific item is unavailable or out of working order, you can unpublish the ad.
When you unpublish an ad, the item will no longer appear in search results. However, any ongoing bookings will remain unaffected.
To unpublish an ad, follow these steps:
Go to the Listings section and select the ad you want to unpublish.
In the pop-up window, uncheck the box at the top to unpublish the ad.
Once unpublished, the ad will move to the Unpublished view. From there, you can republish the ad at any time if needed.
You can also delete ads, but please keep in mind that once it has been deleted, it cannot be restored.
To delete an ad, follow these steps:
Go to the Listings section and select the ad you want to delete.
In the pop-up window, click on the button where it says Delete ad. You will then be prompted to confirm that you are sure you want to delete it. Click Ok to delete.
If there are specific days when you cannot rent out an item, you can easily block those days on the calendar. While the item will remain visible in search results, no rental requests can be sent for the blocked dates. You can block days in two ways:
Go to Listings and click on the ad you want to block days for. In the pop-up you will see an option saying Blocked days. This will take you to a calendar where you select the desired dates to block. Hit Save.
Go you "My profile" and click on Block days under the For lenders section. Here you can select all the ads you wish to block days for. This is great is you want to block the same dates for multiple ads. Click on Select dates to bring up the calendar, select your dates and hit Save.
By turning on the vacation mode the system snoozes notifications so that anyone that contacts you will be informed that you are away. If you receive a request you will get a notification when you are back.
