Draft

Title

Written for you

Fender California Series Acoustic-Electric, Natural Gloss, Good Condition

Description

Written for you

A California Series dreadnought with the single cutaway and Stratocaster-style headstock this model is known for. The natural gloss top has light scratches from playing and one small ding on the lower bout, none of them through the finish. The rosewood fingerboard has even wear, the neck is straight, and the onboard preamp powers up and works across all its controls.

This is the screen where you check the listing before it goes out. You typed the condition and the price and added the photos. Everything marked Written for you is what MusicShopHelp filled in. Nothing reaches your store until you press Publish.

Connecting it

It works with the MusicShop360 you already have.

There is nothing to install, nothing to migrate, and nothing to move. Your store stays exactly where it is and keeps working the way it does today.

  1. Add a login for it in MusicShop360

    The same way you would add one for a new member of staff. It is a separate login that belongs to you, so you decide what it can do and you can remove it whenever you like.

  2. Enter that login once

    Give MusicShopHelp your store address, that username, and that password. It finds your store, then asks you to confirm which location your listings should publish to.

  3. Start listing

    That is the whole setup. Most shops are finished with it in a few minutes and never think about it again.

Do I have to install anything?
No. MusicShopHelp runs in a web browser, on the counter computer or on a phone. Nothing is installed and nothing about your MusicShop360 store is changed to make it work.
Can I try it before I connect my store?
Yes. You can write and save listings without connecting anything at all. Connect when you are ready to publish one, and not before.
Does it touch what is already in my store?
Only when you press Publish, and only to add the listing you just read. Everything up to that point is a draft that lives in MusicShopHelp.
Is this an official MusicShop360 product?
No, and we would rather say so plainly. MusicShopHelp is independent. It is not built, endorsed, or certified by MusicShop360 or Quilt Software.

More detail on all of this, including what happens if MusicShop360 changes something on their end, is on the questions page.

A used guitar comes in on trade. Here is the half hour.

  4. 0:18Type the title, the description, and every spec field by hand

With MusicShopHelp

About 7 minutes of yours

  1. 0:00Type in the brand, the model, the condition, and a price
  2. 0:01Drag in your photos
  3. 0:04Read what it wrote and change anything that is not right
  4. 0:07Press Publish. It is live in MusicShop360

The writing happens between 0:01 and 0:04, while you are taking photos or getting on with the next item. It is not time you spend.

How it works

Three steps, and only two of them are yours.

  1. Tell it what came in

    The brand, the model, the condition, a price, and a few photos. It asks different questions for different instruments: fret wear on a guitar, pad condition on a clarinet.

  2. It writes while you work

    The title, the description, and the spec sheet get written in the background from what you told it. You do not sit and wait for it to finish.

  3. Read it, then publish

    It all arrives on one screen, already filled in. Change whatever you want. When you press Publish, and not before, it goes to MusicShop360.
