Marketplace · ScoutX → Cycle Trader
ScoutX and Cycle Trader
Your units go to Cycle Trader automatically. The marketplace account stays yours; Scout supplies the listings.
How it works
- Photos, specifications, pricing and status mapped to the fields Cycle Trader expects.
- Pricing is rule-aware: condition-based overrides, make and model overrides, and base-price display are all resolved before the file is built, so the number that ships is the one you configured rather than whatever sits in the raw price column.
- Powersports CSV specifications are thin by nature, so anything without a dedicated column is appended to the description as a spec sheet rather than dropped.
- The link back to your own unit page is validated when the feed is set up — a typo in the domain would otherwise ship thousands of dead links before anyone noticed.
- An automated check flags any enabled feed whose last successful push is more than 48 hours old, or that has been switched on for 48 hours and has never pushed at all. Alerts are raised once per dealer and name every affected feed, rather than firing on every run.
- Every file that goes out is archived, so when a partner says a listing is wrong there is a copy of exactly what was sent rather than a reconstruction of what should have been.

Yes. The account and its terms stay between you and the marketplace.
