Creating Your Marketplace

The Marketplace lets you manage your physical classroom rewards through Classroom Hero

Your Marketplace is made up of "Items" which are added individually. All items will require two fields:

  1. The name of the item (i.e. "Stickers")
  2. How much the item costs

Create an Item

1. To create an Item, select your class in the side bar

2. Click "Items" in the top class navigation, then click "Create Item"

3. In the dialog window, provide the item name, cost and click Create Item

That's it! At this point, students can only browse your items from their account. However, there are different types of items you can create to further customize your marketplace.

Types of Items

There are two optional types of items that you can create:

  1. Request to Buy
  2. Instant Purchase

Request to Buy

When an item is marked as "Request to Buy", students can sign in and request this item from you. We will send you an email, web app notification, and if you have our mobile app you will receive a push notification. Simply tap the notification to sell the item and deduct the student's points

To create a request to buy item, in the Item create dialog, click "Advanced Settings" and check "Request to Buy", then hit Save Item

The student will now be able to request this item from you from their accounts. In the student account, first navigate to the class

Next, click on the "Items" tab in the top class navigation and then click on the item you want to request

In the dialog window click "Request to Buy"

Back on the the Teacher's side, you will receive a notification:

Tap the notification to bring up the approval dialog where you can approve or deny the request.

Instant Purchase

Instant purchase is a way for you to let students buy items in the marketplace instantly on their own. This is useful if you don't want students to come to you first for the item.


To create a Instant Purchase item, back in the item dialog, check "Instant Purchase"

The student can now click on the instant purchase item to buy the item
