Tips for a Great Shop
Use a quality banner - First impressions matter. A clean, well-lit photo makes you look professional.
Be specific in your message - Tell visitors what they'll find. "I sell vintage cameras from the 1960s-80s" is better than "I sell stuff."
Keep it updated - Seasonal banners or messages about current inventory keep your shop feeling active.
Add both social links - Buyers appreciate seeing you have an established presence elsewhere.
Preview your shop - Click "View Kiosk" to see what buyers see.

Your welcome message

Privacy Note
