Stash help

Claim sale setup

For sellers who post or show books with prices and let people claim them in the comments or chat. Stash does not read your comments. What it does is turn each claim into a pay link with a deadline, take the address, and keep inventory, orders and buyers straight. Needs a Seller plan or above.

1. Set up card payments once

Pay links take a card through your own payments account. Connect it in Settings, Payments. You can skip this and still track claims, but buyers will have to pay you directly.

Detail: Selling direct.

2. Choose your rules

Open Settings, Claim Sales. Set how long a buyer has to pay and whether a buyer gets one pay link for everything or one per book. Then set what you charge for shipping in Settings, Shipping. The defaults are 24 hours, one link per buyer, and $7.00 shipping per book.

3. Create the sale and add comics

In Claim Sales, click New claim sale, name it, and pick the platform. Then Add comics from your inventory. Each cover shows its price in large type. Click a price to change it.

Photograph your actual copy for the post. Claim buyers are buying the flaws as much as the book.

4. Post it

Post or go live as you normally do. If you want buyers to claim for themselves, use Copy sale page link and put it in your bio, a pinned comment, or a QR code on stream.

5. Drag each claimed book to Claimed

When someone claims a book, drag it by its handle to Claimed and enter their username. The pay link is created and copied. Paste it in a DM. If a second person wants the same book, add them as a backup buyer on the card.

By default the book’s listings on other marketplaces are ended at this point, so it cannot sell twice.

6. Let the deadline do the chasing

The buyer pays by card and enters their address on the pay page. If they do not pay in time, the book goes to the backup buyer, or back to Available. Need to give someone longer? More time. Paid you another way? Paid another way.

7. Ship from Orders

Each paid claim is an order with the address on it. Pack from the Orders list.

Detail: Orders and customers and Shipping labels.

8. End the sale

End sale stops new claims. Pay links you already sent keep working until their deadline. Archive the sale when you are done with it.

Every button and setting: Claim sales.

What Stash does not do

  • It does not read your comments or DMs. You record the claim, or the buyer claims on the sale page.
  • It does not post or message for you. The caption, the photo and the DM are yours.
  • Card checkout ships to the US and Canada.
