Turn Every Listing Into a Postcard Unfurl

Listings, category browses and seller storefronts each carry their own crop, price and location — Airbnb and Etsy taught the timeline what a marketplace share should look like

Listing pages

Every listing on a marketplace is a shareable URL — the product photo, the price and the seller are what a buyer forwards. Oginify pulls the hero photo, listing title and price straight from the URL and renders a card that mirrors the on-site listing card, so the link preview matches what the buyer already trusted.

Launch pages

A launch page lives or dies on the first 24 hours of unfurls. Oginify reads the product name, tagline and hero screenshot, then renders a launch-optimized card with the app icon, one-line pitch and upvote proof — the same anatomy that gets shared on Twitter, Slack and Product Hunt itself.

Category / browse pages

Category pages are shared as SEO destinations — cabins in the mountains, handmade ceramics under $50. Oginify renders a grid card that visually implies inventory density (multiple thumbnails), so the shared link feels like a browse experience, not a lonely stub.

Seller storefronts

A seller storefront is the maker's own permalink — it gets shared in Instagram bios and on their own site. Oginify renders a storefront card with the shop banner, avatar and best-selling thumbnails so the shared link works as both a business card and a lookbook.

Where a Marketplace Card Moves Two Sides at Once

Marketplace URLs get shared to sellers and buyers in different threads. The card should read to both.

Category

Announce a Fresh Category Launch

New vertical opening? The card carries the category name and one hero seller — not the generic homepage.

Composition

Show Real Listings, Not Placeholders

A grid of actual seller shots beats an illustration; the card previews the marketplace as it really looks today.

Seller-facing

Invite Sellers With a URL Worth Forwarding

The seller onboarding page needs its own card — the pitch to a merchant is not the pitch to a shopper.

How to Cover a Marketplace with OG Cards

Marketplaces share seller pages, listings and category hubs — three shapes, one system, so buyers recognize the brand across a fragmented catalog.

  1. Step 1

    Template by page role

    Listing card carries the item photo, seller card carries the storefront mark, category hub carries a curated tile grid — three fixed shapes.

  2. Step 2

    Preserve the seller mark

    On listing shares, keep the seller's logo visible in a corner chip; buyers trust the seller more than the marketplace on the second visit.

  3. Step 3

    Cap image weight to 200 KB

    Marketplaces render slow OG images badly — LinkedIn skips heavy files. Encode WebP-then-PNG to keep every card under 200 KB.

Marketplace Open Graph FAQ

Answers to what marketplaces actually ask before rolling out per-listing OG cards.

What Size Should Marketplace OG Images Be?

1200×630 pixels is the standard for Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and Discord. Oginify outputs exactly that size for every listing so no crop surprises.

How Fast Can I Generate Cards for a New Listing?

Under 4 seconds per listing via the URL-to-card API. Fast enough to run inline at publish time — no queue, no batch job.

Will Google Use My Marketplace OG Images for Search Results?

Google occasionally surfaces og:image in shopping and image search results — a well-composed listing card can drive click-through beyond social channels.

Do Marketplace OG Cards Need to Match the Seller's Own Branding?

No — and they shouldn't. The card should wear the marketplace's brand so buyers trust the platform, not the seller. Sellers control the product photo, not the frame.

How Do I Test That My Marketplace OG Cards Are Working?

Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector, and Twitter Card Validator with any listing URL — Oginify's cards pass all three validators on first paste.
