Hey everyone!

I posted a week ago looking to have listings go live at a certain time. Anyway, was able to sort out how to just manually make everything visible at once. I have used Square to take payments in person at shows many times, but this was my first timed online store update. Happy to say I posted 50 items and sold out of everything in 25 minutes. I read a few things about how the square storefront wasn't great if you were selling one of a kind items, but it was totally great. I had a few issues with people not being able to enter addresses, but other than that it was a total success.

Hello again @pulpandpaper! Your work and your website are beautiful. Did you promote your upcoming sale online or give your customers a heads up that you were making new items available at a particular time?

Thanks @Helen

I take part in an artisan craft/design/art show every spring and fall, and have developed a local following there. The spring one was postponed indefinitely - so i did this online sale instead. I promoted it locally on instagram. It was planned (and promoted) to go live last wednesday at 7pm EST.

That's really great @pulpandpaper - I definitely see how being able to schedule when your online store items become available would take one thing of your plate! We're working on it!
