Shows, listings, sales and orders: what each word means
A show brings people together. A listing describes what is offered. A sale opens buying. An order records a purchase.

Four words, one example
Imagine a seller preparing a keyboard show. Their listing contains the keyboard photos, description, condition, price and available quantity. The show has its own name, cover and scheduled time.
The seller attaches the listing to the show, pins it over the video and then starts a sale. When a purchase is confirmed, its order keeps the terms that buyer purchased under.
A listing can appear in more than one show
Adding an existing listing to another show shares its stock. It does not create a second inventory balance. Selling one unit changes what every attached show can offer.
Duplicate listing creates an independent listing with its own stock instead.
Pinning and selling are separate
A pinned listing is the one the audience is looking at. It is not automatically available to buy. The seller must start a sale while live to open buying.
Orders preserve the purchase
Orders retain the saved description of the purchase, quantity and amount. Several purchases from the same seller and show can appear together in My orders, but payment and issue actions still belong to individual purchases.
