How do I post food for sale?

01. Login to Spoiler Alert

Sign in with your login credentials at www.app.spoileralert.com.

02. Create Post and Complete Product information 

On the top navigation bar, click +New and select Marketplace Post. You can create a post in four, easy steps. You will need to enter information about the food item on the Product step, including the type of food, quantity, quality, must go by date, and best by date. You can also designate if you're willing to accept partial claims on the post. Additionally, you can choose to upload an image of the product, packaging, and/or nutrition label. Lastly, make sure to include a description of your product. When you have completed this information, click Step 2 to advance to the Price & Value step.

03. Complete Price & Value information 

To post an item for sale, select Sell under Transaction Type. You will be prompted to connect your Stripe account in order to receive payment from the buyer once your post has been claimed. Read more for additional information about Stripe's payment processing platform, when payments process, and Spoiler Alert fees.

Once you have connected your Stripe account, you can list the value of the product by entering the Per Unit Price or Total Sales Price. Then, click Step 3.

04. Complete Logistics information

You will need to enter transportation and handling information on the Logistics step, including whether it is available for pick-up or delivery, driving radius if deliverable, the physical address of the food item, and any handling requirements related to food safety. This can save time coordinating with the user who claims the item from the marketplace and assist with tax documentation. When you have completed this page, click Step 4 to advance to the Audience step.

05. Complete Audience information

Once on the final step, you can select to send the post to the Entire Community or Specific Users. Read more to learn about how to send a post to a specific organization or user. 

You can also opt to include your company name on the post or hide your company name until the post is claimed. 

06. Click Create Post

Once you are done with the Audience step, click Create Post. Your post will be made available on the marketplace for the audience you selected and all relevant users will be sent notifications.
