Static listings can't create the urgency and real-time trust of showing a product live, answering questions, and letting viewers buy the moment they decide.

How to do it

How do I use Live Selling, step by step?

Sell products in a live video stream, with real-time checkout. You need a Pludor store - free to create.

  1. Open Live Broadcast: In your store dashboard choose Live Broadcast in the Growth & AI menu.

Common questions

How do I start selling my products on a live stream?

You need a platform that attaches products to a live broadcast so viewers can buy while watching. On Pludor, create a free store, open Live Broadcast in the Growth & AI menu, add your products on the Products tab, then allow camera and mic and press Start a Live Broadcast.

Can viewers buy something while the live stream is still running?

Yes — with Pludor Live Selling, products are pinned to the broadcast so viewers check out in real time without waiting for the stream to end. You answer their questions in the Chat tab while they buy, and orders appear in your Orders area afterwards.

How much does live selling cost?

Pludor does not charge for streaming — Live Selling is free for every store. The normal platform fee (4.99% + $0.90 per paid order) applies to orders, tickets and gifts, and card processing is charged separately by Stripe.

What is live selling and why should I try it instead of just listing products?

Live selling is broadcasting a live video where you show products, answer questions and let viewers buy the moment they decide. Static listings can't create the urgency and real-time trust of demonstrating a product live and handling objections on the spot.

Is Pludor Live Selling better than TikTok Shop LIVE or Whatnot?

The main difference is ownership: on marketplace platforms, checkout typically belongs to the platform, while on Pludor the checkout and products are your own store's. Pludor also builds in auctions with real-time bids, gifts and super-chats, and paid-ticket events with replay access, which elsewhere usually need separate ticketing and streaming tools.

Can I run live auctions for my products?

Yes — Pludor Live Selling includes live auctions where you set a starting price and viewers bid in real time during the broadcast. Viewers can also send gifts and super-chats (star, rose, crown, super chat) while you sell.

How do I get people to show up to my live selling show?

Build a follower base and use reminders — on Pludor, followers get show reminders by push, SMS and email, and anyone who follows you is notified of your next show. Promoting short product clips helps too: you can post 9:16 videos to Flika, Pludor's shoppable video feed, with products pinned so viewers can buy from the video.

Can I charge for a live event or keep a replay?

Yes — Pludor supports paid-ticket live events, and ticket holders get replay access. Recordings are kept only when you choose to keep the replay, and each broadcast has a maximum length.

What equipment or setup do I need to go live selling?

You just need a device with a camera and microphone plus a stable internet connection — viewers on weak connections may see lower quality video. On Pludor, everything runs from your store dashboard: open Live Broadcast, allow camera and mic access, and press start.

How do I plan what to say during a live selling show?

Plan an opening, a moment for each product, and a clear close with a call to buy. Pludor has a free Live Selling Script Writer that generates this for you — name what you're selling and it drafts the whole script, with free runs every hour and no account needed.

Can viewers buy a product while the stream is still live?

Yes - products are attached to the broadcast so viewers can check out in real time without waiting for the stream to end.
