Tips and Tricks:

Pro-Tips:

  • Use high-resolution photos that clearly showcase the product to increase user engagement.

  • Selecting specific sub-categories (like "Accessories" or "Sportswear") helps your offer appear in more relevant filtered searches.

Warnings:

  • Double-check that you have selected the correct business location, as offers are displayed to consumers based on their physical proximity to your shop.

  • Ensure your offer title meets the minimum length requirements to avoid errors during the publishing process.
