Run a Sale Across Multiple Locations (Hubs)

A hub is a physical location where shoppers can find your items. One sale can have multiple hubs — each with its own address, phone number, and hours.

Example: You're running a regional estate sale across three buildings on the same property. Main house, garage, and barn. You create one sale with three hubs — one for each building. Shoppers see all items but know which building to visit for what.

Another example: You're a chain resale shop with downtown, mall, and suburb locations. You run one sale with three hubs — one per location. Shoppers filter by neighborhood.

Use hubs if:

• You're selling from multiple addresses
• Shoppers need to know which location has which items
• You want one consolidated listing instead of three separate sales
• You're running a multi-location estate sale or flea market booth spread

Don't use hubs if:

• You have one location (just enter the address in the sale setup)
• Each location is a completely separate sale
• Shoppers can't visit multiple locations in one trip

1. Go to your sale detail page.
2. Click "Locations" or "Hubs" in the sidebar.
3. Click "Add hub."
4. Enter the hub details:

- **Name** (e.g., "Main House," "Garage," "Downtown Store") - **Address** (full street address; shoppers use this to navigate) - **Phone** (optional; shoppers can call for hours or questions) - **Hours** (optional; when this hub is open) - **Description** (optional; what they'll find here: "Furniture and home goods," "Tools and sporting equipment")

1. Click "Save hub." You now have a location.

When you create or edit an item, you'll see a "Location" dropdown:

1. Click the dropdown and select which hub this item is in.
2. Save the item.

That's it. The item now shows up under that specific hub on your sale listing.

**Can one item be in multiple locations?** No. Each item belongs to one hub. If you have duplicates (same item in two locations), create two separate item listings.

Shoppers browsing your sale see:

1. **All items across all hubs** in the main listing
2. **A location filter** on the left side so they can browse by hub (e.g., "Main House," "Garage," "Barn")
3. **Location info** on each item (which hub it's in, hours, address, phone)
4. **A map** showing all hub locations (if you've entered addresses)

Shoppers can browse all items, then decide which hub to visit based on what they want.

Naming:

• Be specific: "Main House," "Garage," "Barn" works better than "Location 1," "Location 2."
• Use landmark names: "Downtown Store," "Mall Location," "Warehouse."
• If it's a property, use building names: "Estate Mansion," "Guest House," "Carriage House."

Addresses:

• Enter a full street address so shoppers can navigate with GPS.
• If a hub is inside a building, use the building address and mention the room/floor in the hub description.

Descriptions:

• Tell shoppers what to expect: "Furniture, rugs, and home décor." "Tools, power equipment, and hardware." "Clothing and accessories."
• Set expectations: "First-come, first-served." "Pre-sale viewings available." "Cash only."

Hours:

• Make sure all hubs have the same hours unless you're doing staggered sales.
• If hours are different, state that in the main sale description so shoppers aren't confused.

Organizing items:

• Room by room works for estate sales. Create hubs for "Master Bedroom," "Living Room," "Kitchen."
• Category by category works for consignment or auction. Create hubs for "Furniture," "Electronics," "Collectibles."
• Pick whatever will help shoppers navigate.

Multi-day estate sales across hubs:

• Day 1: Main house only
• Day 2: Main house + garage
• Day 3: Everything (main house, garage, barn)

Update hours each day in the hub descriptions so shoppers know where to go.

Multi-location consignment chain:

• Create one sale per inventory cycle (monthly, quarterly)
• Add three hubs: Downtown, Mall, Suburb
• Shoppers can browse all locations or filter to their neighborhood
• Create a new sale next month with updated inventory

Flea market multi-booth vendor:

• Add hubs for each booth you're managing
• Use booth numbers in names: "Booth 12 – Vintage," "Booth 15 – Tools"
• Update inventory between days as items sell
