Download ShiftWhat is Kijiji?
Kijiji is a Canadian classifieds platform connecting local buyers and sellers for vehicles, real estate, jobs, services, and general items. You can create listings with a title, description, price, up to 10 photos, optional video, up to five keyword tags, and location settings from a broad area to an exact address.
Sellers can use Make an Offer, mark items as sold or rented, and manage ads in My Kijiji. Businesses have subscription packages, analytics, and local support. Kijiji offers promotion options (Top Ad, Bump Up, Highlight, Featured), price tools (Price Drop, Price Analysis), a Kijiji Autos experience, supports free and swap/trade posts, and provides safety guidance. It pairs well with other apps so you can move between tools without losing context.
How Kijiji works in Shift
Adding Kijiji to Shift brings your listings and inbox into the same structured workspace as your other selling tools so you can avoid tab overload and repeated sign-ins. Shift keeps each Kijiji account signed in simultaneously and lets you organize them into a dedicated Kijiji workspace.
Use Spaces to group Kijiji with related apps like email, spreadsheets, photo editors, or Kijiji Autos so you can edit photos, update prices, and respond to buyers without rebuilding your setup. Custom layouts and side-by-side views let you compare listings or run price analysis while staying logged in. Smart Links route Kijiji URLs to the correct account to prevent duplicate tabs and accidental sign-outs. Persistent sessions keep your active ads, drafts, and messages available each time you open Shift.
