How do I find fish?

Open the home page (Buy). You’ll see a map of nearby sellers and a list of what’s available. Tap a product or pin to see details.

How do I order?

1. Open a product and choose quantity
2. Tap Add to cart
3. Add more items if you want
4. Open Cart, enter your name & phone, accept the disclaimer, place the order

Pickup only — how does that work?

For now everything is pickup at the seller’s dock, harbor, or shop. Delivery is marked Coming Soon. After you order, use the seller’s page or order screen for the meeting spot, map link, and Call / Text / Email (if they turned those on).

When is my order confirmed?

The seller must tap Confirm with buyer. Until then the order is waiting. You can still message them if they show contact buttons.

Who is responsible for the fish and payment?

The deal is between you and the seller. BuoyDrop connects you. Always read the checkbox disclaimer at checkout.

Cart problems

If an item disappears, the seller may have sold out or paused it. Remove it from cart and pick something else. Clear quantity to 0 or use Remove on the cart page.

How do I start selling?

1. Tap I want to sell fish on the welcome page
2. Walk through the short signup (name, phone, email, PIN, harbor)
3. Complete your profile (story, photos, pickup location)
4. Wait for admin approval — then buyers can see you
5. Tap + Add fish to sell and follow the steps

“Waiting for approval”

New sellers are reviewed before going public. You can still edit your profile, upload verification docs, and preview My page. Once approved, your storefront and products appear to buyers.

My page link

Your public page is /s/your-name. Use Copy my page link to post on Facebook or text customers. Edit the page name under Edit profile if you need a clearer link.

Where we’re at today

If you’re selling at a different dock or lot, set Where we’re at today on your profile and optionally drop a GPS pin so buyers can find you.

Orders

New orders show Needs confirm. Check the quantity and buyer, then tap Confirm with buyer. Use Call / Text / Email on the order to reach them.

Pause / ON / OFF

Pause hides a product when you’re low or busy. ON/OFF toggles availability. Low stock may auto-pause — restock or unpause when ready.

Call / Text / Email on my page

Under Edit profile → Show on my public page, check only what you want buyers to see. Uncheck Call/Text to hide your number from the public page.

Forgot PIN

PINs are set by you at signup. If you’re locked out, contact the platform admin to reset access for the beta.
