Post Management, Editing, Pricing, and Co-Sellers

Where you see this in the app

These controls appear for the post author on /posts/{postId}.

The main author actions are:

Edit post and delete post

The top-level author actions are intentionally simple.

The delete flow is framed as a destructive cleanup action, not as a reversible archive state.

Author edit fields and metadata

Inside edit mode, the author can update the post’s main fields and metadata.

The editor is not only for typo fixes. It is the main post-authoring control surface after publication.

Pricing locked and price summary

Once a post is already priced, the author sees the locked price summary instead of the initial monetization setup flow.

That state means:

• buyers already see this configured price in checkout,
• the pricing model is live,
• the post has moved from setup mode to managed-sales mode.

This is why the UI explicitly says pricing is locked once enabled.

For some use cases, especially local brick-and-mortar businesses or professionals, that price does not have to mean “the entire final sale now happens inside the app.”

It may instead represent:

• a deposit,
• a pre-sell,
• a booking fee,
• a claim or reservation credit,
• or another partial commitment before the final off-platform transaction.

That framing matters because the product is not always trying to replace the seller’s whole checkout or storefront workflow.

Co-seller setup and author intent

Managed posts can also carry co-seller information.

From an end-user author standpoint, this means a post can become a shared-revenue offer instead of a solo sale.

The important mental model is:

1. author defines the post and timing,
2. author decides whether it is priced,
3. author can assign or review co-seller sharing where relevant,
4. the post then acts as a monetized offer rather than just a check-in.

For local-business cases, that monetized offer may be a deposit-bearing referral or booking surface layered in front of the merchant’s usual final sale flow.
