General Information
Ivy Flip is a tool designed for flippers of used goods. We provide marketplace scraping technology that sends push notifications when items matching your search parameters are posted on Facebook, OfferUp, and Craigslist. Additionally, Ivy Flip lets you save and keep tabs on listings, manage inventory, track sales, and list items on multiple marketplaces with a single button click.
Ivy Flip lets you set up searches for specific items. When a matching item is posted on one of the supported marketplaces, we send you a push notification. Note that Ivy Flip is an alert tool, not a search tool, meaning we only notify you of items posted after your search is created.
Setting Up Searches
1. Go to the "feed" area of the app.
2. At the top, you will see a box with a gear icon and text that says "searches can be created."
3. Click on this box to go to the search creation menu.
4. Hit "create search" to set up your searches.
Notification Speeds
For the Starter Pro and Starter Plans, notifications are sent at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes). This means a listing posted just after the last notification may have a slight delay before appearing in your feed.
Using the Feed
Listings detected by Ivy Flip populate in your feed and remain there for three days unless archived or saved. Archived listings are automatically deleted after two weeks, and saved listings remain in your saved feed until archived or moved to inventory.
Scam Filtering and Seller Blocking
Yes, Ivy Flip offers AI Scam Filtering. We evaluate listing titles, descriptions, images, seller account age, reviews, and more to identify potential scams. You can toggle this feature on or off in Settings -> Feed Preferences -> AI Scam Filtering. Help us improve this feature by reporting scam listings by tapping the caution sign in the bottom left corner of the listing.
Yes, you can block sellers to hide their listings. Expand the listing by tapping the text of the description, scroll to the bottom, and choose to block the seller. Manage blocked sellers in the search creation menu.
Saved Feed
When you save listings, they are removed from the main feed and stored in the 'saved' area of the app. Use the saved feed to keep track of listings you are interested in purchasing. This feature is important for inventory sourcing as sellers may become more willing to negotiate over time if they can't sell their items at their initial price. Additionally, the saved feed helps organize your messages to sellers, which can easily get buried in your inbox, especially if you are sending offers on multiple marketplaces. Keep your saved feed up to date by actively archiving or purchasing listings.
Sales Tracker
The Sales Tracker allows you to monitor your inventory and gain visibility into your financial performance on a month-to-month basis. By logging inventory and sales in the Sales Tracker, you can view a graph showing your costs, revenue, and profits on a monthly basis.
Alternatively, from the saved feed:
Using the Sales Tracker helps you maintain an organized inventory and track the profitability of your flipping business, providing valuable insights into your financial performance.
Crosslisting tool
Ivy Flip's crosslisting tool allows you to simultaneously publish your listings on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, and Shopify with a single button click!
1. Log in to your account at www.ivyflip.com.
2. In the account dropdown in the upper right-hand corner, select "Crosslisting."
3. Click on "Crosslisting FAQ."
4. Download the Crosslisting Chrome extension from the Chrome Extensions marketplace.
5. Hit "Activate Crosslisting" in the Crosslisting FAQ.
1. Create Draft: Create your crosslisting draft in the Ivy Flip mobile app or in the crosslisting section of our web platform. Save the draft and select the marketplaces you'd like to publish to in the publishing overview.
2. Login to Platforms: Make sure you are logged into all platforms you wish to publish to from the same browser that you are logged into your Ivy Flip account. Remember, you can only publish crosslisting drafts from a computer browser with our Chrome extension installed! 3.** Select and Publish**: Select one or more listings that you would like to publish, then hit the publish button.
3. Avoid Interruption: Do not touch your screen while the Crosslisting extension is running. Doing so will interrupt the publishing process and cause errors. The extension will return you to ivyflip.com when it has completed running and give an overview of whether publishing succeeded or failed. If your screen is frozen for 90 seconds or more, there may be an error and you can exit out of crosslisting.
Using Ivy Flip's crosslisting tool streamlines the process of listing your items on multiple marketplaces, saving you time and effort.
Account Management
Go to Settings -> Profile to update your account information, such as name and email.
Go to Settings -> Profile to delete your account. Deleting your account will remove your personal information from the app but will not cancel your subscription. Cancel your subscription directly through the Apple App Store on iOS or in the settings area of the Ivy Flip on Android.
Your subscription access and benefits will persist for the rest of the current billing cycle, but a refund will not be granted.
Missing Listings
If you think you are missing listings, follow these steps: 2. Go to the listing you believe was missed. 3. Hit the share button and copy the link. 4. Send the link to your account manager or email it to help@ivyflip.com.
There could be various reasons for missing listings, such as the listing falling outside your search radius or a mismatch in search terms. Ivy Flip is generally reliable within a 40-mile radius, but occasionally listings may be missed. Providing the listing URL helps us investigate and improve our service.
