When you create a storefront for the first time, you have a free storefront. A free storefront is a great way to start selling your products on Facebook. However, most serious sellers prefer to upgrade to a premium storefront ( costs just $10 a month!). A premium storefront is packed with features and tools to help you sell more, give you more visibility and therefore generate more sales ! Here is what a premium storefront can do for you:

Promote upto 1000 products at once

A free storefront can only list a maximum of 10 products at a time. With a premium storefront, you can list upto 1000 products simultaneously !

Setup once, sell everywhere !

Once you have upgraded to a premium storefront, your storefront can be made available on any other popular social network like MySpace (see list of networks we currently support) with no additional setup. The storefront can then be managed from anywhere. For example, once you choose to make your premium storefront on Facebook available on MySpace, you can add products to the storefront on either MySpace or Facebook. Add a new product to your Orkut storefront to see it magically appear on your MySpace profile !

However, you do need a Paypal account to recieve payments for the goods you have sold. You can setup a Paypal account for FREE. Paypal is the most popular payment platform on the web and a paypal account can be used to receive payment from credit cards too ! Your customers can use the Paypal shopping cart that we provide to shop from your store.

  • Premium Users - Activate my storefront on this Network

This tool helps you import products from an store to your Marketplace storefront. We currently support the software/services listed below:

In order to enable importing products from your Ebay store, you will first need to export your Ebay listings. Consult the Ebay documentation: Exporting Your Fixed Price Listings for this. Note that Ebay might take upto 12 hours to create a file of your listings.

Once your listings are created, Ebay will post a file to URL based on your Store URL. It will look something like this:

You will need to find the URL for your store listing from Ebay in order to import your Ebay store products. Check out the video below to see how this works.
