What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a marketplace theme you configure — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds the database, listing logic, moderation tools, checkout, messages, and screens. You own the result, run it on your own accounts, and for listing fees and featured placements, payments run through your own Stripe account. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is a classified ads platform. Kliv builds many kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why build your own classifieds platform?
General marketplaces use the same forms and categories for everything. A regional farm equipment market needs different filters, seller history, buyer alerts, and a stronger gate for first-time sellers.
Kliv builds the platform around the vertical you know. Listings, sellers, messages, reports, listing fees, and featured slots become records in your database.
That makes the key rules enforceable: ads expire, new sellers wait for review, paid featured placement appears only when payment exists, and reports land with the full thread attached.
What the platform knows
Classifieds depend on trust. Each record below carries part of it.
Listings with a clock
Each ad can run for 30 days and then archive automatically. Renewal can be one click and one small payment.
Sellers and history
Seller accounts can show listings posted, years active, and reports received, so buyers can tell a long-time regular from a new account.
A thread on every ad
Buyer and seller messages stay attached to the listing. Each party sees their own threads, and a report button can send the full context to moderation.
The gate for new sellers
A first listing from a new account can wait in a moderation queue before it publishes, so obvious scams are reviewed before buyers see them.
Fees and featured slots
The $5 listing fee and $15 featured week are paid at posting through your own Stripe account. Featured placement follows the payment record.
Built for buyers who know what they want
The seller side pays the bills; the buyer side makes the market worth returning to.
Watch lists
A buyer can save a search, such as tandem-axle stock trailers under $10,000, and get an email when a match posts.
Search that understands the request
Semantic search over your own listings can help a buyer find the right ads even when a seller used different wording.
Vertical categories
Hitch class, PTO horsepower, meter hours, or any fields your market needs can become filters instead of inherited generic categories.
Photos that carry the ad
Each listing can have a gallery in the file store, with image descriptions that make photo-heavy ads searchable even when the seller writes little.
Operator dashboard
Reports, moderation queue depth, listings expiring this week, and fee revenue this month can all read from the same rows the site runs on.
An example: Lena’s farm equipment classifieds
Here’s how one market operator might use a classified ads platform built with Kliv. It’s only an example — you would describe your own market, listing rules, fees, and moderation policy.
A seller pays for a listing
Lena’s platform charges $5 for a 30-day farm equipment ad with photos. The payment and listing are created together, so unpaid ads do not publish.
A first-time seller waits for review
A new account posts a very cheap excavator with stock photos. The listing goes to moderation before it appears on the site.
A buyer saves a specific search
A rancher saves tandem-axle stock trailers under $10,000. When a matching ad posts, an email goes out automatically.
A featured slot follows payment
A dealer adds a $15 featured week. The badge and placement appear because the payment record exists, and end when the featured week ends.
An expired ad renews with its history
On day 30, the ad archives and drops out of search. The seller gets a renewal email; payment brings it back with photos and message history intact.
Describe the marketplace you want
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include categories, listing fees, moderation rules, buyer accounts, and alerts. Here are three examples to build on:
Farm equipment classifieds
Regional listings, equipment filters, paid ads, and seller review.
“Build a farm equipment classifieds site for the Northwest. Charge $5 for a 30-day listing with up to 12 photos, add $15 for one featured week, include hitch class and PTO horsepower filters, require first-time sellers to pass moderation, and let buyers message sellers and save searches.”
Boats and marine ads
Listings with survey files, mooring details, alerts, and featured slots.
“Build a boat classifieds platform where sellers post 45-day listings with survey documents, mooring location, length, engine hours, saved-search alerts, buyer-seller messaging, and a $25 featured slot on the harbor page.”
Vintage instrument market
Photo-first ads, provenance fields, seller badges, and messages.
“Build a classifieds site for vintage instruments with photo-first listings, serial-number and provenance fields, seller history badges, saved searches by maker and decade, message threads per ad, and moderation for first-time sellers.”
How it comes together
Fees, packs, and featured slots are one catalog. Single listings, prepaid ten-listing packs for dealers, and featured placement can all run through checkout on your own Stripe account. A pack is a balance that spends per ad and shows what remains.
Moderation is selective. You can route first listings from new accounts, buyer reports, and edits to already-published ads into a queue. Regular sellers can publish quickly while risk gets reviewed.
Expiry is scheduled. Ads can archive on day 30, sellers can receive a renewal email, and weekly cleanup can keep search results current.
In classifieds, the tractor money moves between buyer and seller. Your revenue is listing fees, packs, and featured placement. If you want to sell your own inventory with checkout and fulfillment, that’s a storefront, and the direct-to-consumer page is the better map.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder. You describe the classified ads platform you want, and it builds a real app with listings, search, messaging, moderation, fees, and operator tools.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds around your market’s categories, seller rules, listing fees, featured placements, and buyer workflows.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add fields, change fees, adjust moderation rules, or add new alert types by asking for changes.
Does the platform handle the sale itself?
No. This is classifieds. Buyer and seller settle the item between themselves. Your Stripe account handles listing fees, packs, and featured slots.
Do buyers need their own Stripe accounts?
No. Buyers do not pay through Stripe for the item in this classifieds setup. Sellers pay your listing fees by card.
Does Kliv take a cut of listing fees?
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account. Card processing costs are between you and Stripe.
How do I keep scammers out?
Use a stack of controls: moderate first-time sellers, show seller history, and let buyers report listings or messages with the full thread attached.
Can dealers post in bulk?
Yes. You can sell listing packs, such as ten prepaid listings, so dealers do not go through checkout for every ad.
What happens when an ad expires?
It archives automatically at the end of its term and drops from search. A renewal payment can bring it back with photos and messages intact.
Do buyers need accounts?
Not to browse. To message a seller or save a search, accounts keep threads and reports tied to real users.
Will listings show up in search?
Yes. Public listing pages can be prerendered, included in a sitemap, and readable to search engines and AI assistants.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The app’s code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull rather than a rebuild.
