Important: Make sure our emails don't end up in spam
Enquiries from visitors – for example appointment requests or table reservations – are automatically sent to you by email to the address saved in your listing. So you don't miss any enquiry, please add our sender address info@weblisting.ch to your contacts or to your list of safe senders. To be safe, also check your spam/junk folder at the start and mark our email as "Not spam" if it ended up there. This ensures all enquiries reach you reliably.

Vendors

How do I become a seller?
Click on Register → "I want to sell services" → Enter your company name. After verification, you can list services.
How are payouts processed?
Earnings are credited after each completed booking. You can request payouts via your merchant portal → Payouts.
What is the commission fee?
The standard rate is 10%; it varies depending on the subscription. You can find the current rate on your billing page.
What is the provider API?
The API allows external programs (scripts, apps, partner software) to automatically retrieve your data and create or update listings — without having to click through the portal every time. You need an API token under Provider → API Access. The API is only available to providers with the corresponding plan feature.
How do I create an API token?
Go to Provider → API Access → enter a token name → Generate. Copy the token immediately — it is only shown once. Send it as a header with every request: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. In case of misuse, revoke the token and create a new one.
How do I find the category_id for a new listing?
The easiest way: Provider → API Access → "Find category ID". Paste the category URL from the website (e.g. https://weblisting.ch/en/category/freizeit-sport-tourismus) and click "Show ID". Alternatively via API: GET /api/v1/categories. You need this ID as the category_id when creating a listing.
Can I create listings via the API?
Yes. Use POST /api/v1/listings with a JSON body, at minimum: category_id, title, status (draft or published). Just like in the portal, new and edited listings first go into moderation (pending) until an admin approves them. Images: POST /api/v1/listings/{id}/media.
