*Notes: 

  • The shopping carts created from the livestream and storefront are separate, and the products added to one cart will not be synced with the other.
  • Example: If a customer adds product A from the storefront 
    and then adds product B from the livestream:
    1. When the customer clicks "Proceed to checkout" in the livestream,
    only product B will appear in the cart.
    You may still browse the storefront and add products to this cart.
    2. Upon checking out, product A will reappear in the cart.
  • Currently, the livestream cart does not support the Lock Livestream / Post Sales Product.
  • Only newly created livestreams will have the updated livestream interface as illustrated above.
  • Leaving comments after the livestream has ended is not supported. You can only view the most recent 20 comments.
  • You can replay the livestream within one month and proceed to checkout to place orders within this period.
