Start organizing a sale or event

Know the plan requirement first

Choose Organize during account setup when you plan to run a fundraiser, community sale, or market. Creating events requires the current Organizer plan or another plan that includes event creation; check Pricing for the current price and limits before you finish setup.

Your storefront can still stay Hidden while you prepare inventory and event details.

Prepare the event carefully

• Choose the time zone where the event takes place, then enter the local date and time buyers should follow.
• Use only a public-safe location label and map point. Add optional Parking, Accessibility, Pickup expectations, and Weather plan guidance in their dedicated fields; Weather plan is organizer guidance, not a live forecast.
• Every new event starts as a private Draft. Save details, open the protected buyer preview, and publish only after the date, time, time zone, and location are correct.
• Times skipped when clocks change for daylight saving are rejected. If a time repeats, Forsale uses the first occurrence and shows the time zone on every event surface.
• Link only participating storefronts you are authorized to include.

Verify before promotion

Open Preview buyer view and verify the date, time, time zone, public location, arrival guidance, participants, and inventory. Publish explicitly, then test Directions, Add to Calendar, the canonical Share link, and any flyer QR destination before promoting it. The calendar download includes a one-hour alert, but calendar apps decide whether imported alerts are supported.
