Step-by-step guide

Written walkthrough

This walkthrough is separate from the video. Follow the steps at your own pace.

Step 1

Quick Add creates drafts

Photo batch, sometimes described as Quick Add, takes mixed photos and proposes separate draft items. Use it before publishing inventory. Each created item uses one Credit, and every resulting draft still needs seller review.

Step 2

Quick Sale rings up the current customer

Quick Sale is a sale-day cashier tool. Search or match existing inventory, or choose Unlisted Item when the object was never entered. The unlisted line stays off the public storefront. If you want a reusable inventory record afterward, explicitly create a private draft after checkout.

Step 3

Use the result check

If your desired result is inventory to edit and publish before the sale, use Single item or Photo batch. If a customer is already buying, use Quick Sale—even for an unlisted item—and verify every line and payment state before completion.
