The record

Product: ShopClass is open-source classifieds software that operators run on their own hosting.
Use cases: The same software can power classifieds, job boards, property and car sites, business directories, services listings, events or rentals, and product catalogues.
Custom fields: Administrators can build category-specific forms from reusable fields without code.
Search: Search filters include region, city, price, keyword, and photos, and each search has an RSS feed.
Moderation and abuse controls: Built-in tools include a moderation queue, visitor reporting, login throttling, a keyword blocklist, and support for Turnstile or reCAPTCHA.
Payments: Paid listings and credits are optional, and the maker lists a free Stripe plugin for card payments through Stripe Checkout.
Integrations: Listed plugins integrate with Cloudflare, nginx caching, Google Analytics 4, and Stripe; listing imports can use a keyed REST API or scheduled JSON, CSV, and RSS feeds.
Storage: Listing photos can be kept on the operator's server or stored in S3-compatible storage behind a CDN.
Security: The 6.4.0 release includes two-step admin sign-in with authenticator codes and backup codes, plus an option for automatic security updates.
Data ownership: Listings, users, and photos are stored in the operator's own database and storage, and the maker says they can be moved or exported without fees.
Deployment: ShopClass requires PHP 8.0 or later and can be installed on shared or cPanel hosting; a Docker image and command-line interface are also available.
Notable limit: The maker says events and rentals listings do not include booking, so visitors contact the listing owner.
Support: The documentation directs questions to GitHub Discussions and reproducible bugs to GitHub issues.
Maker: Mindstellar describes itself as the open-source work of Navjot Tomer, with contributions from people who run ShopClass.
