Breeder Storefront & Reviews

Your storefront is the public page a buyer lands on when they tap your rabbitry name on a listing. It shows what you choose to say about your rabbitry, every listing you currently have active, and your star rating from other OmniBurrow members. It only exists once you have set it up, and none of the fields ask for your phone number or email address.

Set up your storefront​

Go to Marketplace → Settings. Every field below is here, including Breeds you raise.

The basics:

  • Name and logo: your storefront uses your rabbitry's name and logo, the same ones printed on your pedigrees and cage cards. They are shown here but changed in your rabbitry profile (see below).
  • City and State: roughly where you are, so buyers can filter by area.
  • Tagline: one line under your name, up to 140 characters. "Show-quality Rex and Mini Rex in Central Texas" tells a buyer more than a paragraph does.
  • About your rabbitry: a free-text introduction: how long you have been at it, your practices and goals.

Name, city and state also pre-fill new listings, so filling them in once saves typing on every listing afterwards.

The details buyers ask about first. All of these are optional:

  • Breeds you raise: up to 12, picked from the breed list. If you raise more than that, choose All breeds and your storefront says so in place of a list.
  • What you raise for: any of show, meat, pets, fiber and breeding stock.
  • How buyers can get their rabbit: local pickup, delivery to shows, or transport arranged.
  • Raising rabbits since: the year you started.
  • Sales policies: deposits, how long you hold a rabbit, your health guarantee, what comes with a sale. This gets its own section on your storefront.

Name, logo and cover photo​

Your rabbitry has one name and one logo. Set them once in your rabbitry profile and they are used on your pedigrees, your cage cards and your storefront:

Open Settings → Rabbitry profile.

The logo is shown beside your rabbitry name on your storefront in place of the placeholder letter. A square picture works best. When you change your name or logo, your pedigrees and cage cards use the new one straight away. Your storefront's copy is checked first, and the line beside it tells you where it stands: being checked, approved, waiting for a person to review it, or not approved. Until a new logo is approved, your storefront shows the placeholder letter.

The cover photo belongs to the storefront alone: a wide picture across the top, such as your barn, your rabbits or a show table. Choose Add cover photo in the marketplace settings. It is checked in the same way; Replace swaps it for another and Remove takes it off.

Storefront address​

Your storefront can have a short address of its own that ends in a name you choose, such as briar-patch-rabbitry. That is easier to say, print and put on a business card than the long string of letters and numbers it ends in by default.

Type the name in Storefront address, or choose Use my rabbitry name to start from your rabbitry's name. It can be 3 to 40 characters: lowercase letters, numbers, and single hyphens between them. When you save you are told if another rabbitry already has it.

  • The address starts working once your profile passes its check, the same as the rest of your storefront text. Until then it leads nowhere.
  • Changing it later is safe. An address you used before keeps leading to your storefront, so a printed card or an old post does not break, and nobody else can take it. A rabbitry can use up to five addresses in all.
  • Clearing the field and saving goes back to the default address. Your listings still link to your storefront either way.

Under Find us on you can add your rabbitry's Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Type the profile name (@yourrabbitry) or paste the profile's link.

Each field only accepts a profile on that service. A link to a post, a shortened link, or a link to anywhere else is refused when you save, with a message saying which field. That is deliberate: buyers can trust that a button marked Facebook goes to a Facebook profile and nowhere else. There is no field for a link of your own.

What is public​

Everything in your storefront settings is published

Everything you enter in your storefront settings is shown to anyone on the internet, signed in or not, and can be found through search engines. Write it with that in mind — it is a shop window, not a note to yourself. If you would rather not publish a location, leave the city and state blank; buyers filtering by state will not find you, but nothing is shown that you did not enter.

Your storefront shows:

  • Your rabbitry name, logo and cover photo, tagline, city and state, and introduction.
  • The breeds you raise, what you raise for, how buyers can get a rabbit, and the year you started, where you have filled them in.
  • Your sales policies and your social links.
  • When you joined.
  • Your average rating and how many reviews you have.
  • Every active listing you have.
  • The reviews themselves, with each reviewer's name.

Your email address and phone number are never published. Buyers reach you through the enquiry form on a listing, which relays their message to you by email. See Marketplace Listings.

Nothing from your herd records is on your storefront. Rabbits, litters, finances, and contacts stay private — only the listings you deliberately publish appear.

Changes are checked before they appear​

When you save, your storefront text is screened against the Marketplace rules before anyone else can see it. Until that finishes, visitors see your listings under the placeholder name "Breeder" with none of your text or pictures. You always see your own storefront as you wrote it. Most saves clear within a minute or two; one that needs a person to look at it takes longer.

Your logo, your cover photo and your storefront address are checked the same way. A picture is shown to other people only once it has passed and your profile has too. If your storefront is reported and hidden while it is looked at, its pictures and its address are hidden with it.

Share your storefront​

Your storefront has its own address, so you can send buyers straight to it. If you have set a storefront address (above) and it is live, that is the one that gets shared.

Open your storefront (Marketplace → Settings → View my storefront) and choose Share storefront. On a phone or tablet this opens the usual share sheet; on a computer it copies the link.

QR code shows a code that opens your storefront when scanned, with a Download PNG button. Print it for a show table, a cage card, or a business card.

A link pasted into Facebook or a message shows a preview card with your rabbitry name, tagline and location. Each listing has its own Share listing button too.

Reviews​

Any registered OmniBurrow member can leave you a review: a rating from 1 to 5 stars and an optional written comment. One review per person — a member can review you once, and cannot change it to a second review afterwards. Nobody can review themselves.

Two things worth being clear about, because they differ from the marketplaces you may be used to:

  • A review does not require a purchase. There is no check that the reviewer ever bought from you.
  • There is no seller response. You cannot reply to a review on your storefront.

Your average rating and review count appear on your storefront and beside your name on every listing, which is what makes reviews worth caring about.

Moderation​

If a review is spam, abusive, about the wrong rabbitry, or otherwise wrong, report it. Reporting is open to any registered member — not just the breeder being reviewed — and asks for a reason and an optional description. You cannot report your own review, and reporting the same review twice while a report is still open does not stack up duplicates.

Reports go to OmniBurrow for review, and the outcome is either that the review is kept or removed. Removal takes it off your storefront and out of your rating.

Reporting is the only route. There is no way to remove a review from your own storefront directly, which is deliberate — a rating you could edit would not be worth anything to a buyer.
