Check eligibility

Availability, seller requirements and product categories differ by country. Review the current seller requirements for your market before you plan inventory or campaigns.

Create strong listings

Use clear titles, multiple images, short product videos and accurate attributes. Competitive pricing and bundles help listings convert.

Build a creator affiliate program

Invite creators to promote your products for commission. Send samples to creators whose audience matches your customer, provide simple talking points and highlight content that performs well.

Use live shopping

Live sessions let you demonstrate products, answer questions and run time-limited offers. Consistency matters more than production quality.

Combine organic and paid

Boost top-performing organic and creator videos with paid promotion to scale what is already working.

Protect your shop performance

Ship on time, respond to messages quickly and handle returns fairly. Shop performance scores affect visibility and access to features.
