Run a sale across multiple locations (Hubs)
Hubs let you attach multiple physical addresses to a single sale. Shoppers see all locations on one map, and each item shows which hub it's at. Use Hubs when your inventory is split across more than one address.

What Hubs are
A Hub is a separate physical location under the same sale.
Examples of when you'd use Hubs:
- A three-day estate sale where the main house is on Elm St and overflow furniture is staged at a warehouse on Oak Ave
- A flea market with an indoor main hall and an outdoor vendor area across the parking lot
- An organizer running two simultaneous consignment sales in different parts of town under one listing
Without Hubs, a sale has one address and one map pin. With Hubs, each location gets its own pin and its own item list.

When to use Hubs vs. creating separate sales
Use Hubs when the locations are part of the same event and you want shoppers to see them together.
Create separate sales when the events are independent — different dates, different inventory, different organizers.

How to add a Hub
- Open the sale from your dashboard.
- Tap **Edit Sale**.
- Go to the **Hubs** tab.
- Tap **Add Location**.
- Enter the address for the hub.
- Give it a label (e.g., "Main House" or "Overflow Warehouse").
- Tap **Save**.
You can add up to 10 locations per sale. Each hub gets its own map pin and its own label on the shopper-facing listing.

How to assign items to a Hub
When you add or edit an item:
- Scroll to the **Location** field in the item form.
- Tap the dropdown.
- Select the hub where this item is physically located.
- Save the item.
Items without a hub assigned default to the primary sale address.
You can reassign items to a different hub at any time — useful if inventory moves between locations during a multi-day sale.

What shoppers see
On your public listing, shoppers see:
- A map with a pin for each hub, labeled with the name you gave it
- Each item card shows the hub name (e.g., "At: Main House" or "At: Overflow Warehouse")
- Shoppers can filter items by hub to find what's at a specific location
This helps shoppers plan. If they want the vintage furniture and all of it is at the warehouse, they drive there directly.

How POS works with multiple Hubs
The POS (point-of-sale) runs per location.
Staff at the main house run a POS session from that location. Staff at the overflow warehouse run a separate POS session from that location.
When a staff member marks an item sold in a POS session, it marks that item as sold across the entire sale — the item won't show as available at any other hub.
You don't need separate devices for each hub, but each POS session should be opened and run from the correct hub location so the inventory stays accurate.

Common questions
**Can I add Hubs after the sale is already published?** Yes. You can add, edit, or remove Hubs at any time — before or after publishing. Changes take effect immediately.
**What happens if I remove a Hub that has items assigned to it?** Items assigned to that Hub revert to the primary sale address. They don't disappear — you'll need to reassign them to another Hub or leave them at the primary address.
**Can different staff members run POS at each Hub at the same time?** Yes. Multiple POS sessions can run simultaneously across different hubs. Sold status syncs across all sessions in real time, so the same item won't be marked sold twice.
**Do Hubs work for online auctions?** Yes. Auction items can be assigned to a Hub. The Hub label appears on the item card so winning bidders know where to pick up.
**Can I name a Hub anything?** Yes. Use names that make sense to a shopper — "Front Yard," "Garage," "Back Storage" all work fine.
