STEP 2

Configure the module

After installation, open Auctions, Presale, or Offers as appropriate. Review its Settings before creating a listing, campaign, or rule.

  • Set timing, eligible products, and the transaction rules exposed by that editor.
STEP 3

Review customer messaging

Enable the appropriate theme component and explain the selling terms in customer-facing content.

  • For preorders, communicate expected fulfillment.
  • For auctions or offers, explain how a purchase is completed.
STEP 4

Test and monitor

Run a controlled test of the customer action and resulting order. Review the module’s orders, bidders, analytics, or reports as applicable.

  • Do not begin a live event until timing, payment, and fulfillment have been verified.

CHECK YOUR WORK

You’re ready when…

  • The tool is installed and its settings reviewed.
  • A controlled end-to-end test has succeeded.

IF SOMETHING DOESN’T LOOK RIGHT

Troubleshooting

Why does the installed app not appear on the storefront?

Review its theme-block requirements and activation status. Installing an app does not automatically publish every component.

Why is a control missing or unavailable?

Confirm that you are in the correct store and that your role allows this action. Optional apps and channels may require installation, a plan, or activation. Share the screen name and error with support if access is still unclear.
