Yes, as long as:

• You bought from a Trusted Seller.
• Your payment was processed on Multiply (rather than exchanged offline).
• Your purchase was not under the “Professional Services” category.

Note that Buyer Protection covers up to Php 22,000 or Rp. 4.500.000 of the purchase price.

You can submit a Buyer Protection claim when:

You have not received the item you ordered
You must wait 10 business days from the latest possible shipping date promised by the seller before you can submit your claim.

You received an item that is much different than the one you ordered
You can submit a claim after you’ve contacted the seller and tried to work it out yourselves.

You have 45 days from the date you purchased the item to submit your Buyer Protection Claim.

First, contact the seller directly by sending a personal message to try and resolve the issue. If the seller does not respond within a few days, or is unwilling to resolve the issue, you can submit a claim by contacting customer service.

You must include the following information in your claim:

• The reason for your claim (be as detailed as possible).
• The link (URL) to the personal message you sent to the seller.
• The link (URL) to the product you purchased on the seller’s site.
• A government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license, passport, etc.) Take a photo of your ID and post it in a photo album on Multiply. Save the album as a draft, and include the link (URL) to the album in your claim.
• If you received an item that was different than what you ordered, take a photo of the item that clearly shows how it is different than the product description, and post it in the same album as your government-issued ID.

After you submit a Buyer Protection claim, we will contact the seller and allow them 5 business days to resolve the claim with you. After the 5 days, we will contact you to see if you are satisfied. If you are, or if you do not respond within another 5 business days, the case will be closed. Otherwise, we will accept the case and commit to resolving it within 30 days.

Refunds are sent using the same payment method you used to pay for the order. For example, if you paid with PayPal we’ll refund your PayPal account. If you paid with a credit card, we’ll refund the card, and so on. If you need to make special arrangements, please contact customer service and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

We will not accept claims under the following conditions:

• You have already requested a charge back through your payment provider.
• You have an unpaid balance in your account.
• Your item was damaged or lost by the shipping company.
• The item you purchased was in the Professional Services category.
• The item you purchased is prohibited by Multiply’s Terms of Service (see the “Listing and Selling of Products and Services” section of our Terms.)
• The shop you purchased from is not a Trusted Seller, Trusted Merchant or Trusted Business.
• The shop you purchased from is not located in the Philippines or Indonesia.

The main thing you can do is write detailed descriptions of your products and be very honest about what you are selling. If you are selling a used item, say it. If there are flaws in the product, show them in your photos. Communicate with your buyer so there are no surprises. And make sure you provide tracking information for shipments, if available.

If there is a complaint, be responsive and try to work things out with the buyer. If you can’t, and the buyer files a claim with us, we will ask you to provide proof of delivery (a scanned receipt from the shipping company) in the case of a product that never arrived. Make sure your product descriptions are detailed and accurate, in cases where the buyer claims an incorrect item was received. Those descriptions will be your defense. Make sure you do not edit them after the fact, though. If it is found that you did that, the claim will automatically be awarded to the buyer.

Some of the most commonly used e-mail programs use spam filters to make sure that unwanted messages don’t make it to your inbox. The problem is that sometimes messages you really do want are mistakenly identified as spam, and are delivered to your Spam folder (depending on your e-mail program, the folder might be called “junk” or “bulk” or something else).

In general, you can make sure Multiply’s e-mails are sent to your inbox just by adding multiply@multiply.com to your Address Book or Contact list. And if you already have a message from Multiply in your spam/bulk/junk folder, open it up and click on the button that says “not spam” (or something similar).

Sharing information is what Multiply is all about, so we take very seriously the privacy of our members. Multiply members have complete control over the information they provide and how it is shared with other members. All information that Multiply collects will adhere to our privacy policy, and will be used for the sole purpose of providing members a highly personalized and interactive experience with our site. Multiply will never sell or lease our members’ information to any third party without proper consent.

We’ll ask for the following:

• First and last name – You control who can see your full name on the site.
• E-mail address – You must verify your e-mail before joining, to make sure it is actually yours.
• Home country and zip/postal code – This info will always be viewable by other members.
• Date of birth and gender – You control who sees your birthdate.

Even though Multiply members can find your site by searching for your name or e-mail address, you can limit who can see anything you’ve posted on your site.

For more information please review our Privacy Policy.

Because you own the content you publish and must give us permission to display it in “public areas” of the site. Your agreement to our terms of service effectively gives us that permission. We won’t do anything with your content other than display it on the Multiply site in the areas you choose.

Any content that you did not intend to be viewed by a specific person or group of people is considered to be in a “public area.” For example, if you post something for “everyone” or “friends of friends” or on a group’s site, those are all considered public areas because you are not necessarily aware of everyone who can possibly see your published content. On the other hand, any content that you post exclusively for your contacts or specific individuals is considered “private.”

Counterfeit, replica or knock-off brand name products – which refers to imitations made with the intent of being passed off as geniune – may not be listed for sale on Multiply, per our Terms of Service. Multiply reserves the right to cancel the account of any shop, without warning, that is sharing counterfeit products.

If a shop is found to be selling a counterfeit item, but it is clear that the vast majority of the same shop’s products are legitimate, we will remove the counterfeit product from our Marketplace and hide it from the shop’s website. We will send the seller a warning via email with a link to the product we have identified, at which point the seller will only be able to delete, but not edit, the product. If you receive a warning and think it was a mistake, you should contact customer service. If additional counterfeit items are found on a shop that has already received a warning, the seller’s account will be cancelled.

Anything you have posted for “everyone” is visible publicly by anyone visiting your site. To share private posts with people outside of Multiply, just open up the post and click on the Share link beneath it.

Yes, we offer cross-posting (posting a single blog entry to Multiply and another blog site at the same time) between Multiply and the following sites:

1. LiveJournal
2. Blogger
3. TypePad
4. Windows Live Spaces

When you enable cross-posting, Multiply can automatically detect new entries you’ve written on one of these sites and post them on your Multiply site as well. And when you add a new blog entry on Multiply, we’ll automatically post it on your LiveJournal, Blogger, Live Spaces or TypePad site (unless you explicitly choose not to when posting the new entry). Even with cross-posting enabled, you can choose to prevent a specific entry on your other site from being cross-posted on Multiply. Just add the following code to your entry on the other site:

<!-- multiply:no_crosspost -->

You can enable cross-posting the next time you import new entries from one of these sites. Just click to post a new Blog (from the Post link near the top of any page), then select the service from which to import new entries, enter your login for that service and select Enable cross-posting. Then click OK.

If you’ve enabled cross-posting already, you can disable it at any time by going to My Account and selecting Posting Options.

Yes, any time you post on Multiply, you can choose to have that post automatically shared on your Facebook and/or Twitter account.

When you post new content – whether it’s a blog, photo album, video or anything else – you’ll see checkboxes for both Facebook and Twitter.Twitter

– Select the Twitter box and you’ll be asked to sign in to your account. Once you do, you’re brought back to your post, and once you save and publish, it will generate a “Tweet” from your Twitter account, which will include a link back to your post on Multiply.

Facebook

– Select the Facebook box and you’ll be asked to install Multiply’s Facebook application. After you install, you’ll be brought back to your post, and once you save and publish, it will be posted on your Facebook news feed, which will include a link back to the post on Multiply.

If you don’t want a particular item cross-posted, just uncheck the box. Whenever you go to post something, the checkboxes will be in the position you chose the last time (checked or unchecked). You can also default the checkboxes off or on by going to My Account, then Posting Options.

To Permanently disable Facebook cross-posting, login to your Facebook account and remove the Multiply application by selecting Settings then Application Settings then Authorized.

Note that, unlike our previous cross-posting features, posts made directly on Twitter or Facebook will not be cross-posted back to Multiply.

Also note that, if you want people who are not logged in to Multiply to have access to cross-posted items, make sure you set the access to Everyone (public).

If you received a password request e-mail but never asked for it, it is probably nothing to worry about. Someone most likely typed the wrong username into the Forgot Password box.

In order to use this tool to gain access to your account, someone would also need to be able to access your email account, so that they could retrieve the password reminder email that was sent to you. Provided your email account is secure, no one will be able to retrieve your password.

If you have any other concerns, please let us know.

Yes, but you can only access high res content that is owned by someone with a Premium account. Only subscribers to Multiply Premium can access high-res content on anyone’s site, including their own. Note that anyone – Free or Premium account – can prevent others from seeing their high-res photos and videos.

Click Post and select Product. Note that you will only see this option if you have added a shop to the Marketplace. You can use albums but they do not integrate with Multiply’s shopping cart and get lower priority listing in marketplace.

Photo albums let you showcase your products to Multiply shoppers, but when someone wants to buy, you have to handle the entire process offline. When you post Product Listings, your customers can check out and submit payment quickly and securely using Multiply’s shopping cart. Plus, you can track your entire operation, including sales, finances and more, in our Stock Room. Product Listings also appear above photo albums in the Marketplace.

You can convert any album, or individual photo, to a product listing. Just open the album and you’ll see a Convert to Product link beneath it. If you only want to convert one photo, open that photo and you’ll see the same link. Click that link and you’ll be taken to a Product Listing form that is already pre-filled with the photo(s) you’re converting.

If you’re converting an entire album, the following will be pre-filled for you:

• The album’s title and description will be used as the title and description on the product
• Tags (if the album had any)
• Marketplace category (if this album was already listed in the Marketplace)

If you’re converting just one photo, the photo’s caption and description – instead of the album’s title and description – will be pre-filled as the title and description of the product listing.

If you’re converting an entire album, notice the option to “Hide Album” at the bottom of the form. Check the box to make sure the album is hidden when the new Product Listing is posted, so your product isn’t listed twice. If you don’t hide the album here, you can always do it in the Stock Room. Just visit the Products area, find the album and change its status to Hidden.

If you want to wait until you finish converting all of your photos before making your new product listings public, just set the status of each product listing to Hidden before you save it. Don’t hide your album in that case; wait until you’re ready to make all of your new listings public. Then go to the Products area of the Stock Room, change the status on all of your product’s to Active and change the status on all of your photos to Hidden.

You can also find the Convert to Product link in the Products area of the Stock Room, where your photo albums are also listed.

Your payment model depends largely on the type of product you are selling. The Buy Now model is recommended for products that a shopper can simply add to his/her cart and pay for without any involvement on your part. For example, if you’re selling a shirt or shoes, the shopper can browse what you have in inventory, select the size/color/etc. he wants, click “Add to cart” and submit payment. You will get a notification of the order and are responsible for fulfilling it.

However, when you need to get involved and work out some details with the customer before an order can be finalized, you should choose the Invoice model. Examples:

• you don’t carry inventory (e.g., pre-order items)
• you offer services, not products
• you offer a “made to order” product, such as baked goods.
• the price on an item is negotiable.

When you choose the Invoice model, your product will have an “Inquire” button which will take the shopper to a form where they can enter and submit an inquiry to you. (You can customize the text that shoppers will read on that form – just select Inquiry Form in the Stock Room.) When a shopper submits the inquiry, a discussion thread will be created where you both can finalize the details of the order. Once everything is set, there will be a button for you to generate an invoice.

Although the Invoice model is very flexible, it adds extra steps and a lot more time into the purchase process. Any time you add additional steps to the process you risk having the buyer not complete the transaction, so you should only use the Invoice model if you really need to.

Shipping Profiles are an easy way to save specific shipping information which you can then apply to any of your product listings. When you post your first product, you will create a new shipping profile with the shipping options and costs for that product. Then, whenever you post another product that has the same shipping options and costs, simply choose the appropriate shipping profile.

When you post a new product with the “Buy Now” payment model, you will see the Shipping Profile area. Either select an existing profile, or click Manage profiles to create a new one or edit an existing one.

When you create a new profile, enter a descriptive name so you’ll remember what is in this shipping profile when you need to add it to other products.

When you edit an existing shipping profile, your changes will apply to all products that are using that profile.

Note that you can also add or edit Shipping Profiles in the Stock Room.

When you create a shipping profile, you can choose to offer up to four different delivery options:

• Domestic Courier:
  • Philippines:

    Xend: Multiply has partnered with Xend to offer courier service with discounted rates from Metro Manila and Rizal. Select your Originating Province (where you are shipping from) and enter the size (weight/length/width/height) of all products that use this shipping profile. If you have lots of products of similar sizes, enter the weight and dimensions that are representative of the products using this shipping profile. Note that after you save the profile, you can edit any specific product that uses the profile and enter specific size dimensions for that product. It will still use the same shipping profile, but the size you entered in the product listing will override what is in the profile. You might do that if, say, you sell shoes that are mostly the same weight, but a certain pair of boots are much heavier. You might want the boots to use the same shipping profile, but make sure its cost gets calculated more accurately.

    Other Courier: If you want to use a courier service other than Xend, select his option and then select the regions where you’ll offer courier service. Specify the rate to deliver the item alone, as well as a discounted rate to deliver it along with another item (if you choose to offer that).

  • Indonesia: JNE handles all courier shipments. Just select an Originating Area (where you are shipping from) and enter the size (weight/length/width/height) of all products that use this shipping profile. If you have lots of products of similar sizes, enter the weight and dimensions that are representative of the products using this shipping profile. Note that after you save the profile, you can edit any specific product that uses the profile and enter specific size dimensions for that product. It will still use the same shipping profile, but the size you entered in the product listing will override what is in the profile. You might do that if, say, you sell shoes that are mostly the same weight, but a certain pair of boots are much heavier. You might want the boots to use the same shipping profile, but make sure its cost gets calculated more accurately.
• Meet-up/Pickup: Enter instructions or leave blank if you will provide instructions after the sale. Text only, no html.
• Domestic Mail: Enter up to two mail services, along with your rate for each one.
• International Delivery: Select a country you will ship to, and enter the rate. You’ll be able to select as many additional countries as you like.

The rates you charge for each delivery method should cover whatever your cost is, on average, to ship using that method.

Tip: If possible, use the same shipping profile across all of your product listings, or at a minimum have at least one delivery method common to all of your shipping profiles. If someone buys multiple items at once from you, Multiply can only present the buyer with delivery methods that are common to all of the items in their cart. If we can’t find any in common, the buyer won’t be able to complete the order. (Note that this does not apply to Domestic Courier shipments in Indonesia).

Note that Shipping profiles are not available if you’re posting an Invoice product. Instead, you will communicate the delivery options directly to the buyer when you’re discussing the order. When you send the invoice, you can specify a delivery charge. When the buyer pays your invoice, you will see a link to update shipping information. Click that when your order is ready to ship, and enter a delivery service, shipping date, expected arrival date, and tracking number if you wish. The buyer will be notified.

JNE handles all courier shipments for Multiply shops in Indonesia. JNE’s rates are determined by your product’s shipping weight and your Originating Area (where you are shipping from).

How to determine your product’s shipping weight: JNE will calculate your shipping weight after you enter your product’s full dimensions:

• actual weight (kg)
• length (cm)
• width (cm)
• height (cm)

Enter the weight and dimensions that are representative of all the products using this shipping profile. If there is a product that will use this profile that is a much different size than the others, you can edit that specific product listing separately and enter dimensions that will override the ones you entered in the shipping profile just for that product. Otherwise, you can leave those fields in your product listings blank.

The shipping weight will be the greater of the product’s actual weight and its volume weight (L x W x H / 6000). Both weights are rounded to the kg before the comparison is made. Numbers less than 0.2 are rounded down and numbers greater than or equal to 0.2 are rounded up.

Once JNE knows your shipping weight and originating area, actual courier rates will be determined by the destination entered by your customer. During checkout, customers may also choose to have their JNE shipments covered by insurance, and this will be noted in the order. If you want to see your rates to specific destinations in Indonesia, you can visit JNE’s website. Enter the originating and destination areas, and the shipping weight, and look for the JNE Reguler rate.

Your rates will depend on which courier option you choose:

1. Xend: Multiply has partnered with Xend to offer discounted courier rates when shipping from Metro Manila or Rizal. Xend’s rates are determined by your product’s shipping weight and the province you are shipping from.
2. Other: You specify the rates for each region you ship to.

Xend:

Xend’s rates are based on your product’s shipping weight and your originating province (Metro Manila or Rizal). Xend will calculate the shipping weight after you enter the following info about your product:

• actual weight (kg)
• length (cm)
• width (cm)
• height (cm)

Enter the weight and dimensions that are representative of all the products using this shipping profile. If there is a product that will use this profile that is a much different size than the others, you can edit that specific product listing separately and enter dimensions that will override the ones you entered in the shipping profile just for that product. Otherwise, you can leave those fields in your product listings blank.

The shipping weight will be the greater of the product’s actual weight and its volume weight (L x W x H / 3500).

Once Xend knows your shipping weight and originating province, you will see two sets of rates displayed: one for shipments to Metro Manila, and one for all other provinces.

When preparing your shipment, please write “Multiply Order #XXXXXX” – using your actual order # – in the Shipper’s Reference field of your Xend waybill.

Xend offers free insurance for all shipments up to Php 1,000 in value. For anything over Php 1,000, customers will have the option at checkout to purchase additional insurance for items up to Php 5,000 in value.

Other Courier:

For each region you ship to, you will specify a rate for shipping the first item alone, and you will have the option to specify a discounted rate for additional items added to the order and shipped to the same region.

You are not required to offer a discounted rate for additional items; you may simply leave the second column blank to charge the same rate for additional items.

Here is an example of how we calculate shipping when multiple items are shipped together by courier:

• Item A (t-shirts)
  • Cost to ship as first item: Php 80
  • Cost to ship with additional items: Php 20
• Item B (shoes)
  • Cost to ship as first item: Php 100
  • Cost to ship with additional items: Php 30
• If both Item A and Item B are purchased together, the total shipping cost to the buyer is Php 120. This is the greater First Item cost (Item B: Php 100) plus the Additional Items shipping cost of the other item (Item A: Php 20).

The prices you charge for courier shipping will depend on the type of product. Here are a couple of examples:

1. T-shirts
   • Let’s say about 10 t-shirts can fit in a typical courier’s pouch. So in general, a courier will charge Php 50 to deliver between 1 and 10 t-shirts. To deliver an 11th t-shirt will trigger another Php 50 charge (Php 100 total).
   • If you are selling t-shirts, charge Php 50 to ship the first item, and then charge much less – perhaps Php 10, or even less – for additional items. In some cases the buyer will come out ahead, but in most cases you will. But the lower (or free) price to ship additional items will provide an incentive for people to buy more, which would put you way ahead over the long run.
2. Notebook computers
   • A typical courier’s pouch can fit 2 notebooks at the most. So a courier will charge Php 50 to deliver 1 or 2, but will charge another Php 50 to ship 3 or 4, and another Php 50 to ship 5 or 6, and so on.
   • If you are selling notebook computers, charge Php 50 to ship the first item, and leave the “additional items” space blank (which means you charge Php 50 for additional items as well). This ensures that you always cover your costs when multiple large items are delivered together.

In general, the more of a product that you can fit into a courier’s pouch, the less your Additional Items charge should be for that product.

Note that shipping costs may vary by courier. Please check with the courier of your choice.

Many products come in different variations; for example, a shirt may be available in different sizes and colors. You can specify up to two different options for your product, such as size and color. Note that options should not affect your product’s price. If they do – for example, you are selling an MP3 player that comes in 8GB and 16GB sizes, and 16GB costs more – then you should post them as two separate products.

When posting a new product listing, just select the checkbox for Options, then enter an option (such as Size) under Option Name. Click Add a value and type your first value; for example, “Small.” Then click Add a value again and type “Medium.” And so on.

We’ve partnered with Xend in the Philippines and JNE in Indonesia for courier shipping. If you have selected a Shipping Profile that uses Xend or JNE for the product you are posting, the default weight and size you entered in the shipping profile will be used to calculate shipping rates, and you can leave those fields blank in your product listing. However, if the weight and size of the product you are posting is much different than other products covered by the shipping profile, then you should fill out the weight and size fields in the product listing and they will override the numbers in the shipping profile.

To summarize, you don’t necessarily have to enter weight and size information in all product listings, just those that differ from the default values specified in the shipping profile.

If you are selling a product that you keep in inventory, we can track your inventory so your product listing always shows the correct number of items available, and prevents orders that exceed your available inventory. A product’s status will be changed to “Sold Out” automatically when all of its inventory has been sold, meaning the product is removed from the Marketplace but still shows on your site as “Sold Out.” You don’t have to worry about tracking it yourself.

When posting your product listing, select Track Inventory if you want to use this feature. Simply enter the quantity that you currently have available for this product. If your product has options, you’ll be able to enter a quantity for each combination of options.

You can track, and edit, your inventory for all products at once in the Stock Room. Click Products.

Note that your product’s available inventory is only decreased when someone actually pays for an order.

Just edit your product and look for the Status menu. You can change it to:

• Active – the product is displayed on your site and in the Marketplace.
• Hidden – the product is only visible to you.
• Sold out – the product is displayed on your site, but not in the Marketplace. A “Sold Out” indicator is added to the product’s title.

You can upload photos in jpg, gif or png format. Most common video types are supported.

Yes, please see the section of our Terms of Service titled, Listing and Selling of Products and Services for a list of Prohibited items.

Collections allow you to group similar products together and feature them on your site. For example, if you sell shoes, you may have a collection of sandals that you want to feature during the summer.

To create a new Collection, visit the Collections page in the Stock Room, and click the Collection icon. You will then enter the following:Name:

Describe your collection. For example, “Sandles” or “Summer sale”.

Status:

Active or Hidden.

Cover:

Upload a cover photo that captures what’s in your collection.

Tags:

Select the tags to be included in your collection. You can include as many tags as you like, for example you might include “Sandles” and “Casual shoes.” All products with those tags will be included in the collection (note that if you include multiple tags in your collection, a product will have to have

all

of those tags to be included in the Collection).

Products:

Shows you the number of products in your collection, based on the tags you selected.

URL:

Shows you the URL (link) to view your collection on one page.

To remove a product from a Collection, edit the product and remove the tag(s) associated with the Collection.

Once you create a Collection, it will appear above your Products on your homepage. If you have more than one Collection, you can rearrange the order that they are displayed on your homepage. On the Collections page in the Stock Room, click the Rearrange icon and then drag and drop your Collections in the order you want them to be displayed. You can edit and delete current Collections in the Stock room as well.

By default, your products will be displayed in a list, with the most recent ones at the top. However, you may occasionally want to change the display, or make certain products “Featured” so they always display at the top. Just click Customize My Site in the rail of your homepage and then click the Edit button that appears in the top-right area of your product listings. You can change your display to a gallery, where only photos, product titles and prices are listed. You can also select Featured products, which can be useful if certain products are seasonal or on sale for a brief time.

At this time, Multiply is not charging a transaction fee to sellers. Please enjoy this special promotion!

When buyers purchase your products, they will make their payment directly to Multiply and we will disburse the funds to you. This happens automatically, on the next business day, when your wallet has a balance of at least Php 50 (or Rp. 10.000). Funds will be disbursed directly into the bank account you enter on Multiply.

If your balance reaches Php 50 or Rp. 10.000 after business hours, the automatic disbursal will happen the day after the next business day. Disbursals are not done on weekends.

You can view your balance in the Wallet section of the Stock Room.

If you are a seller, we require you to enter your bank account information so the funds from your sales can be disbursed to you. Disbursals will be deposited into the account you enter.

We can disburse funds into the following banks:

Philippines:

• Banco de Oro (BDO) – Enter your 10 or 12 digit account number.
• Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) – Enter your 10 digit account number.

  Disbursals are made into your account on the next business day when your wallet has a balance of at least Php 50.

The Stock Room is where you can manage the day to day operations of your shop by tracking all of your products, orders and finances. The Stock Room includes the following pages:

• Products: edit multiple products on the same page, without having to bring up each individually. Edit product names, statuses (active, hidden or sold out), prices and inventory levels; and track sales and customer inquiries – conveniently in one place.

• Wallet: Enter, or update, your bank account information here. We will disburse the proceeds of your sales into that account. Disbursals happen the next business day after the balance in your account reaches Php 50 (Rp. 400.000), although you can also request a disbursal at any time for a fee of Php 10 (Rp. 2.000). The Wallet is the place to track all of your disbursals, orders and fees.

Under the Shop Settings area, you can edit your shop’s name, description and category, enter a custom message to use on invoice order forms, and update your site’s theme.

We have set up a special group site where sellers can share information and get help from other Multiply sellers. Visit multiplysellers.multiply.com and join the group.

One of the time-honored ways businesses get people to try their products is by offering discounts. Multiply lets you offer three types of discounts:

• Fixed amount – for example, “take Php 200 off” or “take Rp. 10.000 off.”
• Percentage – for example, “take 30% off.”
• Free Courier Delivery

To set up a discount, go to the Stock Room, click Discount Codes on the left side of the page, then click New Discount Code:

Fill out the form as follows:

Discount Code: Enter a code that describes your promotion, for example: “WINTERSAVINGS” or “25PCTOFF.” Codes must be a combination of at least 6 letters or numbers, with no spaces.

Expiration: If you choose an expiration date, your discount code will no longer work when that day arrives.

Usage: Select whether your discount can be used an unlimited number of times, or only once per customer.

Discount:

• Percentage – Can be anywhere from 1-99% off. The percentage will apply to the price of the product(s) in the order, excluding tax, shipping or other charges.
• Fixed Amount – Enter the exact amount of your discount. If your discount is greater than an order total, then the amount equal to the order total is applied. Customers will not receive credits.
• Free Courier Delivery – Applies when customers select courier delivery. You can enter a maximum amount of shipping to be covered. The customer will pay for any shipping charges that exceed the amount entered here. The discount does not apply to insurance paid for Xend or JNE deliveries.

Minimum Order: (Optional) Your discount is only valid if the customer’s order is greater than the amount you enter here.

Availability: You can make your discount available to anyone who knows the code, or make it exclusive for just a few specific people by entering their user IDs, with each ID separated by a comma.

Status: Customers may only use Active discount codes.

Note that customers can only apply one discount code to any order.

After you create a discount code, post it somewhere on your site so shoppers are aware of the code and how it works.

When someone orders one of your products, you will be notified on the Multiply Inbox. Both you and the buyer will receive the same message, including the order details. You can reply to the message to communicate any additional instructions to the buyer. If the product requires you to send an invoice, you’ll be able to do that in the same message thread.

You can also see your orders in the Orders section of the Stock Room. Each order will be listed, along with the amount, and other important information.

There are two cases where a seller can cancel an order:

1. The buyer chose to pay with a bank deposit, and the payment still has not been verified. A “cancel order” link will appear above your order message.
2. You have sent an invoice and the buyer has not yet paid it. A “cancel invoice” link will appear above your order message.

Just click “Cancel Invoice” above your order message. The invoice will revert back to the state it was in before you sent it. Now you can make your changes and re-send it.

It is up to each individual shop to have a refund policy, and to disburse refunds directly to the buyer. Multiply is not involved in the refund process.

While Multiply’s free shipping promotion is in effect all of your product listings that use the “Buy Now” payment model and offer courier delivery through Xend in the Philippines or JNE in Indonesia will display a “Free Delivery!” promo on your listing. When shoppers order a minimum of Php 400 or Rp. 100.000 worth of these eligible products, Multiply will pay for the shipping charges up to Php 100 or Rp. 25.000. Any shipping charges above those amounts will be charged to the buyer.

During this promotion we will credit your wallet twice for each completed “free shipping” order: once for the shipping amount and once for the rest.

Indonesian sellers: your wallet will be credited for the non-shipping amount once the order is complete, and you will be credited for the shipping amount once JNE confirms that the order has been shipped. For them to confirm, you will need to go back to your order message after you ship and click Update shipping information. Enter your JNE Waybill number, along with the date the order shipped and its expected arrival. It could take a couple of days for JNE to send us confirmation of your shipment.

Philippine sellers: Your wallet will be credited for both the shipping and non-shipping amounts as soon as an order is complete. Please make sure you enter the Multiply order number on your Xend waybill.

Multiply Promote™ is our new self-serve advertising platform so anyone can advertise, no matter how small your budget. Visit our Advertise page to get started. You can design a simple creative – including text and a photo – choose a daily budget, and target users in specific countries and within specific segments of the Multiply Marketplace. For example, you can advertise to all users in Indonesia who visit shops in the “Baby and Toddler” category, and who browse that same category in the Marketplace.

If you are interested in a larger-scale ad campaign, please contact our Ad Sales team.

For users in the countries you’ve chosen to target, your ad will appear on their Inbox and beneath content they’ve posted to their personal sites. Your ad will also appear on Marketplace pages for the category you’ve chosen to target, and on any product listing pages added for that category.

You can make changes to your ad at any step of the process before you click Pay Now to submit the ad. At that point, we will contact you if any changes are necessary for the ad to be approved.

If you want to make changes after you’ve submitted the ad to us, you’ll have to cancel the ad and create a new one. Just visit your Ad Accounting page and look for the Cancel link next to your current ad.

Your display ad can include a title of up to 80 characters, and a body of up to 170.

No matter how big the image you upload, it will be displayed at a maximum 50 pixels high in your ad.

You can view a report showing how all of your ads are doing. Just click My Account, then Ad Accounting.

You can target users by the country they live in, and by the category of products they are browsing on Marketplace pages and actual store sites.

It will depend on the budget you choose, as well as the country and product category you choose to target. To see specific pricing, just start creating an ad. When you make your selections, you will see the cost per 1,000 times your ad is viewed (“impressions”). As an example, if you chose a daily budget of $1 and chose to have your ad run for 2 days, and your cost was $1 per 1,000 impressions, Multiply will charge you $2 total and your ad will be shown to 2,000 people.

You can pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or PayPal. Customers in the Philippines can also pay with GCASH or by bank deposit at any BDO branch.

We will decline any ad that does not comply with our policies, as outlined here.

A Multiply Premium account, combined with the AutoUploader, gives you a permanent backup solution for all of the photos and videos you upload to Multiply – not just those you choose to share. Upgrade to a Multiply Premium account for just $19.95 a year or $2.95 a month, and you’ll get:

• Permanent storage of your photos and videos, in their original full-resolution format.
• Hi-Def video – if you shot your video at a 1280×720 resolution or better, we can display it in high-definition format (up to 1080p) in the Multiply video player. Even non-HD videos will be shown in full resolution right in the Multiply player, so you don’t have to download the original. Learn more about higher quality video for Premium accounts.
• Large-format media – choose one of our new hi-res site themes and have your photos and videos displayed, by default, as large as the viewer’s web browser can accommodate (max of 1200x1200px for photos; videos up to twice their original resolution).
• The ability to download high-resolution versions of photos and videos posted on Multiply (where hi-res versions exist and the owner is allowing access to them).
• The ability for both Free and Premium accounts to view the hi-res versions of your photos and videos, if you allow it. (With only a Free account, others with Free accounts can never access your high-res content.)
• The ability to download entire photo albums as zip files (Click any Slideshow link to access this).
• Higher video upload limits – uploads as large as 1GB, with no time limit.
• No ads while you’re on Multiply, and no ads for anyone viewing your site.

When you upload a video to Multiply we convert it to a Flash file (FLV) so it can be downloaded more quickly and viewed in Multiply’s video player. For free accounts, that video displays at a maximum width of 600 pixels, even if you uploaded a very high resolution video. But for Premium accounts, we’ll retain the original resolution and sound quality of your video – and convert it at a much higher bit rate – so on one of our hi-res site themes the video will display as large as the viewer’s browser can accommodate, making your videos look big and beautiful for everyone you’re sharing with.

Many cameras now offer High-definition (HD) video, which refers to a much higher quality than standard video. What makes it a higher quality is the number of horizontal lines in the resolution. For example, in 720p HD video there are 720 horizontal lines. Multiply supports up to 1080p. So if your camera can record in HD, and you upload your videos to Multiply, they’ll be displayed in HD as well.

You can get them right here. Hi-res themes can be used by anyone, but are especially designed for Premium accounts because photos and videos are displayed as large as the viewer’s browser can accommodate (see image to the left).

First make sure you are using one of our hi-res themes. You can get one here. If you posted your photos to a group site, make sure the group is using a hi-res theme.

Just visit the Multiply Premium signup page to get your Premium account.

Only videos that were originally recorded in HD quality (a resolution of at least 1280px wide) will have the HD option on Multiply. Also, if you do not have a Premium account, you will only see the HD option when viewing video posted by a Premium member who is sharing an HD-quality video.

Either with a credit card or PayPal (and subscribers to Globe and TM in the Philippines can now use GCASH). The credit cards we accept are: American Express, Visa or MasterCard. If you don’t have a credit card, Paypal allows you to pay through a bank account or debit card. If you have any questions about these, or other payment methods, please contact our customer service team.

Yes, you can now pay for a yearly* Multiply Premium account using GCASH, the secure and convenient way for Globe and TM mobile subscribers to send money by texting. It’s so simple:

When upgrading to a Multiply Premium account, just click on the big GCASH logo (like the one you see to the left), then enter your GCASH ID and click Continue. Next you’ll receive a text asking you to confirm the payment. Just reply within 5 minutes, then click “Purchase” to complete the transaction and view your receipt. That’s all there is to it! Upgrade to Multiply Premium now. *GCASH isn’t available for monthly accounts at this time.

No, it means all pages! If you upgrade to a Premium account, you will never see an ad on Multiply. And people visiting your site won’t see any ads there either, whether they have a Premium or free account.

Just visit the Media Locker, select one or more photos or videos and click on Download. You’ll be prompted to open the files or save them on your computer, where they will be saved as a Zip file (A Zip file packages up all the photos and videos into one file, and compresses them for quick downloading). Once saved, just double-click the Zip to view the file(s) that you downloaded.

You can also download and save entire albums or videos as you’re viewing them. For albums, just click on the Slideshow link on any photo and you will see a link to Download Hi-res (Premium members will always see this link if the owner of the photos is allowing it; non Premium accounts will only see it when viewing the photos of a Premium member). Just click on that link to save the individual photos, or entire album, on your hard drive – for full albums, the name of the zip file that gets saved will be the same name as the album (for example, AlbumName.zip).

For videos, Premium members will see Download the original links beneath videos.

Note that if you do not see the Download links on someone else’s photos or videos, it probably means that person is not allowing others to download.

Premium accounts are non-refundable, per our Terms of Service.

• Export to Blogger
  You can check the export status by clicking the link “Check the status of your export” below the Generate Blogger Export File box. Pay attention on the far-right column,”Queued” means that the process is on queue line. If you see “download” (for Blogger), then it means your content is ready to be downloaded as xml file.
• Export to Tumblr
  Check the export status by clicking the link “Check the status of your export” below the Export to Tumblr box. Pay attention on the far-right column, “Queued” means that the process is on queue line. If you see “finished”, then it means your content is successfully exported to your Tumblr account

Additionally, we will send an email notification once the proccess done.

Blogger does not support photo/video importing, so the photos/videos you see after importing in Blogger are still linked from Multiply. You will need to download all of your photos/videos to your computer using Download Media Tool, then upload to your blog posts to blogger.com manually.
