In the QMarket marketplace, you have the flexibility to choose how listing images are displayed on the listing pages. There are two distinct layout options available: Grid and Carousel.
Both options offer unique ways to showcase listing images, helping create a visually engaging experience for customers. Let’s see how each option works and how it can enhance the booking experience.

Full images can be viewed by clicking the Show All Photos button.
Benefits
