Getting your account set up
If you’re ready to start selling on GreensShare, this guide is for you! I will walk you through creating your producer account, setting up your details, and listing your first product. All features of GreensShare work on mobile, but you’ll want to set up your account and list your first product from a larger screen just to better understand all of the features and not miss anything. Signing up to sell doesn’t mean a subscription or free trial, and there is no fee to list. If you’re ready to go, follow along as I show you how to set up your account.
