Live Co-Hosting
Live Co-Hosting allows a live seller, or Host, to invite another person to join their livestream as Co-Host. The possibilities are endless: run live sales with each other, conduct interviews, or just hang out with a friend. Hosts and Co-Hosts can add their own respective listings to the Live Store. Bringing listings to the Stage, handling order fulfillment, and receiving payouts for both the Host and Co-Host remain the same as if each were running their own show.
