To prepare for a VISX Live shopping event, you need the following:

• A list of products you would like to showcase
• A list of target clients you would like to invite
• A created VISX Live shopping event on VISX dashboard 
• A mobile phone on a tripod for filming the shopping event, as well as a laptop or iPad to “showcase” products, read + respond to comments & view live event insights (like number of participants, outstanding $ bag value) 
• Have the products close by for showcasing during the event
• Practice and rehearse before the event!!

The flow is:

1. Enter basic info of a VISX Live shopping event (title, time)
2. Select products and edit inventory for the event
3. Apply a special deal if applicable
4. Organize the sequence of the selected products if you have a preference

Please note – you can always make changes to the VISX Live shopping event before it starts.

To start the event creation flow, you can click the “New VISX Event” button on the Overview page. Fill in basic information for your event. You can decide whether the event is public or private, and the status is interchangeable. Click “Create VISX Event”, the new event will be created on the overview page. 

Click “pencil” to enter the event management page.  At the event management page, you will be able to edit basic event information, upload landing page images, video, select products, edit inventory and price, and organize product sequences. 

A public event is an event that anyone can access if they come across your event link. 

A private event is an event that people can access only if they have received an invite from the VISX dashboard and access the event using the same email they received the invite with. 

The RSVP feature allows your clients to “RSVP” to an event and be reminded 4 days, 24 hours, 1 hour and 10 minutes before the event starts. Reminder emails to your clients will come from no-reply@visx.live and will share a very simple message informing them the event is approaching.

If clients click on your event link and land on the welcome page more than 1 hour before the event starts, they can:

• RSVP by entering their email, 
• Add the event to their calendar (Google, Apple, Outlook or Office 365)
• Share the event with friends and family

Clients who have RSVPed will be listed under “Invitation” – “RSVPed Shopper” in the Event Management tab.

If clients RSVPed and land on the welcome page within 1 hour before the event starts, their email will be prefilled, and they can enter a nickname, change their profile color and join the event to preview products in the carousel.

If a client has not RSVPed and lands on the welcome page within 1 hour before the event starts, they will need to fill in an email and nickname to join the event. The client will be able to share the event link with friends and family by clicking on the “Share” button.

Please note that RSVP feature is always on for live events.
