# Quickstart: Your First 30 Minutes

Ready to set yourself up for success? This guide walks you through the five essential steps to get Nifty running — most sellers finish in under 30 minutes.

**Note:** If your plan only includes **Automation**, skip steps 2–4. If your plan only includes **Crosslisting**, skip step 5.

#### Connect your marketplaces

Go to Settings → [**Connections**](https://app.nifty.ai/settings/connections) and [connect your marketplaces](broken://spaces/Em5xU5ktwTTfKBpX6qpY/pages/rq7VcbsDYUiXl8OgsnjK). After connecting, click **View connected account** to double-check that you're connected to the right account.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Sync your inventory

Go to the [**Inventory Manager**](https://app.nifty.ai/inventory) and click **Sync listings**. With just one click, Nifty brings in all of your active listings. Our AI recognizes when you have the same item listed on multiple platforms and groups them together automatically — no manual work required.

{% endstep %}

#### Verify the matches

After your initial sync, we ask you to quickly review the AI's work and **Verify** the matches it made. We recommend sorting your inventory by **Item name** using the dropdown in the top-right — this groups similar titles together and makes the review process easier.

Scan each page to make sure everything is in the correct place. If you notice anything off, drag and drop your listings into the correct row.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** If you know an item is listed on a platform but it's not showing up that way, try searching for a keyword from the title. This will display all relevant rows, making it easy to drag and drop the pictures together.
{% endhint %}

Once you're happy with how the page looks, select all rows using the checkbox at the top left and click **Verify** at the bottom. Then move on to the next page.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** Items you create or crosslist from within Nifty are automatically verified — this one-time review is only for inventory you've already listed elsewhere.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Enable Auto-Delisting

Now that your inventory is verified, you're ready to set up [**Auto-Delisting**](/auto-delisting/auto-delisting.md). Head over to Settings → [**Sale Detection**](https://app.nifty.ai/settings/sale-detection) and toggle on the platforms you want Nifty to auto-delist on.

When an item sells on one marketplace, Nifty will automatically remove it from the others — no more double sales.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Turn on automations

Finally, go to the [**Dashboard**](https://app.nifty.ai/automation) and set up your automatic activities across marketplaces: [**Shares**](/automation/automatic-shares.md), [**Relists**](/automation/automatic-relists.md), [**Offers**](/automation/automatic-offers.md), and [**Follows**](/automation/automatic-follows.md).

Once set up, these activities run day after day like clockwork — keeping your accounts active and your listings visible, even while you sleep.

### Best practices

Keeping your [**Inventory Manager**](/inventory-management/inventory-manager.md) up to date is important for getting the most out of Nifty. Here are a few tips to ensure Nifty remains an accurate reflection of what you have for sale:

* **Check your email.** We send critical notifications about marketplace connection expirations, failed auto-delists, and payment issues. Missing these could interrupt your service or lead to missed sales.
* **Run a Full Sync once a month.** This brings in the most up-to-date data for all your active listings. Think of Nifty as a mirror of your marketplaces — over time, things that happen outside of Nifty can cause the mirror to become a little dirty, and a **Full Sync** wipes it clean.
* **Avoid relisting outside of Nifty.** When you relist using another tool or directly on a marketplace (e.g., "end and sell similar" on eBay), Nifty loses track of where your item lives — which can break [**Auto-Delisting**](/auto-delisting/auto-delisting.md). See [Why One Tool Matters](/getting-started/why-one-tool-matters.md) to understand why.

### You're all set!

That's it — you've connected your marketplaces, synced your inventory, verified the matches, enabled **Auto-Delisting**, and turned on **Automations**. Nifty will now run smoothly in the background.

When you're ready, start expanding your reach with [**Crosslisting**](/crosslisting/crosslisting.md).
