And in the small window, choose Primary List (if there is an available slot) or Additional List and click "Save"
When a user signs up for GB during the Participants Sign-up or Product Payment stage, the participation fees for both Primary and Additional lists are the same. However, if a user joins GB during the Product Distribution stage, the participation fees are higher because there is no need to wait for organizers to purchase, download, prepare, and distribute the product.
When enough sign-ups have been received, GB will automatically proceed to the "Product Payment" stage. At this stage, users can pay for the product by clicking on the "Pay" button and then the "Purchase" button in the confirmation window that appears. The progress bar on the right side of the GB header shows the percentage of payments completed.
This is the final stage of a GB, where participants receive their content. The organizer will share it in the group buy's conversation. To access it, simply click on the "Conversation" button and locate the materials in the chat.
