Two separate decisions per vehicle: is the listing visible, and can it be bought online.

​
Publish states

Save as draft while you work, publish when it is ready, unpublish to pull it without deleting anything. An unpublished listing can be re-published later with its data intact.
A vehicle with incomplete or invalid pricing cannot be published. That is the most common reason publishing fails.

​
Sales channels

Publishing makes a listing visible. Online sales state decides whether a buyer can actually complete a purchase. You can have a published listing that is not enabled for online sale, which shows the vehicle and captures inquiries without offering checkout. That is a legitimate setup for units you want visible but not sellable online. Change the online sales state per vehicle, or use bulk enable across many units at once.

​
Bulk actions

Both publishing and enabling online sales support bulk operations, which is how you handle a daily intake rather than clicking through units one at a time.
Make publishing part of your daily routine. New units sitting in draft are inventory nobody can find, and it is the easiest revenue to leave on the table.

​
How this relates to availability

Publish state and availability are different things, and the AI Sales Agent uses availability.
  • A draft unit that is available on your lot can be quoted by the agent.
  • A published unit already locked to another order cannot.
A Locked indicator shows when a unit is assigned to an in-progress order. That is why a published unit may not be sellable.
