About the Ship LIveStream Selling Platform

ShipLive is a Livestream selling platform that automates all the steps necessary to effectively complete transactions through FaceBook live events. The platform allows sellers to Livestream sell their products, collect payments, ship orders, the process returns, and manage customers' communications and loyalty programs.  Buyers purchase during the Livestream event by typing predetermined keywords into the comments section during a live sale.  This is known as "Comment Selling". Using the ShipLive platform is like having a personal version of a home shopping network. Unlike other Livestream selling platforms, ShipLive is designed to be easy to use when planning and setting up Live Sales, operating and hosting live events, and then communicating with customers during post-sales operations.
