Builder Templates Vs. Static Templates
Builder Templates guide your listing team through the process of creating uniform listings across a specific category type. For example, if you sell clothing, a clothing template will guide you through creating a listing with inputs on things like brand, style, color, size, condition, and so on.
Example Builder Template
Static Templates are predefined templates where no information will change. For example, if you sell bulk 20lb boxes of mixed Lego bricks, a static template will use the same description every time you use it, meaning only new pictures need to be added to each listing.
Static templates are also useful for specific disclaimers or notices that may not always apply to a builder template (for example, extended shipping times during holidays or unique pickup instructions for Buy Online Pick Up In Store items)
💡Operational Tip: You can insert any static template into your description by clicking the “Insert Template” button above the description box. The selected static template will auto-insert at the bottom of the description.
