What is the difference between a shop and booth

It looks like I signed up for both by mistake. I did a free 12 day trial on both and I read where it automatically converts to monthly I think after the free trial runs out. I do not know what I want a shop or booth. I also came from Etsy and it said My download was successful but no photos or inventory shows up that I can see. I do not want to pay if nothing is working. I think the instructions to start a booth was confusing an bounced me all over the place.

It took a little studying in the Help section for me to understand also before I opened my booth, which is free to everyone. This article from Bonanza’s blog may help [URL removed]

A booth is part of the bonanza marketplace and will be identified a

…a web store is separate and will be identified by your own user domain ID…which I assume you wish to use Pattycake’s Plunder

As of now you have no items in your booth, which means you have no items in your web store…since the items are linked together

Drop the web store..set up the booth (free membership option)…learn how everything works, get items in your booth, make sure google feed it up and running get your items in Google shopping (the 9% advertising option)…get things squared away…and then…

if things are going well, choose membership upgrade options, or move to a web store if your sales can support the extra expense

Best and simplest advice I have read on here. Thank you. I wish years ago, when we started here that someone had said it as concisely.

Hello Welcome to Bonanza , As far as the Booth or Web Store I have both but is strictly up to you . I like the web store since I do a lot of personal advertising and make sales through my web store , but if you are not going to put in the time then I would stay with just the booth . Use the budget you would possibly use for the web store and put it towards the 9% charge they take for advertising on google . Also the web store is very simple and only used as a temporary option while building your company in the early stages .Last it will take around 24-48 hours for your items to import at max . it is usually done much faster . I would double check and just make sure all of my information is correct while waiting for the import .

I saw the items one time and started to change the categories on a few on the first page but now it says I have over 100 items I loaded from a CVS off Etsy and now cannot figure out what happened to them. Is there a charge to open a store and will I be charged for both after the 14 day trial period. I have 3 etsy shops to move over here if it works. I do not want to have both if I have to pay for both. Is a shop more expensive than a booth? I should have done some research maybe I should try to figure out how to close both until I figure it out first.

A booth is free. You should have a booth before you spend any money on a webstore or shop. Get established in a free booth first and see how that works for you.

Look in your booth under My booth, then add or edit items. You should see your items there.
Also take the time to look through the literature that the seller above supplied. Always do some research first.

Good luck.

The “Webstore” on Bonanza was introduced 2-3 years ago, and now Etsy has a similar setup called “Patterns”, although I believe Bonanza’s webstores may be a tad more innovative.
