real-time. To make the process easier, Drip allows sellers to unlock live streaming privileges automatically once they meet the key milestone of reaching 50 followers.
There’s no need to sell for a minimum period, submit forms, or manually apply for live streaming access. Once the milestone is reached, the feature is unlocked automatically, and you’ll receive clear instructions to activate it.
What Are the Requirements?
To unlock live streaming on Drip, your shop must gain 50 followers. This milestone demonstrates your ability to attract and engage an audience, making live streaming a natural next step for growing your business.
How It Works
When your shop gains 50 followers, the system will automatically review and unlock live streaming for your account. You don’t need to take any additional steps to request access—the system monitors your follower count daily and updates permissions accordingly. After the feature is unlocked, you’ll receive a confirmation message through multiple channels, including email, SMS, and a web notification in your Seller Hub. These messages will provide clear instructions on how to activate the feature by logging out and logging back into your account.
Logging out and back in is necessary to refresh your permissions, ensuring that the live streaming option becomes visible in your Seller Hub. Once you’ve done this, you’ll be ready to set up and host your first live stream.
Next Steps to Start Streaming
If you’re close to the 50-follower milestone, focus on building your audience by sharing your shop and engaging with potential customers. Once you’ve reached 50 followers, here’s what you should do:
Keep an eye out for the notification confirming that live streaming access has been unlocked. This will arrive via email, SMS, and within your Seller Hub.
Follow the instructions provided in the notification. Specifically, log out of your account and log back in to activate the feature.
After logging back in, navigate to the Seller Hub, where you’ll now see the option to go live. From here, you can start scheduling or hosting live streams right away.
If you’re eager to start live streaming and want to double-check that everything is ready, try logging out and logging back in as soon as you reach 50 followers. The system runs daily checks, so this step can help synchronize your account permissions faster..
What If You Don’t See the Notification?
In rare cases, you might not receive the notification after reaching 50 followers. If this happens, don’t worry—it’s an easy fix. Start by logging out of your account and logging back in to ensure your permissions are updated. If the live streaming option still doesn’t appear in your Seller Hub, contact our support team for further assistance. We’re here to help you get started.
