No creative work is needed to create a Live Sale, just fill in the necessary information about the date and products.

This article explains how to step-by-step create a Live Sale using Post Office.

    Set times for Live Sale:

Choose the time when the offers in your Live Sale are no longer valid. After this, it will no longer be possible for your customers to buy products via the post.

Duration

How long do you plan to broadcast? This indicates how long our robot should monitor your Facebook page for live broadcasts.

Pickup from/until

When is it possible for your customers to pick up their ordered goods?

    Give your Live Sale a suitable title, so you can quickly find it in the Post Office app, e.g., 'Christmas Live Sale'

    Create product:

Name

What is the name of your item? For example, “CK One Eau de Toilette 50 ml”.

Price per unit

The price the customer can buy 1 piece of the item for.

Quantity for sale

How many pieces are you selling of this item?

Max. quantity per order

Specify how many pieces each customer can buy at most.

Keywords

Here you should write a unique code for your product. Your customers must write this code in the comment field under your Live Sale to buy the item. It's a good idea to keep this keyword short. Write several versions to capture potential typos. For example, “CK50”, “CK 50” or “offer1”, “offer 1”.
