How to publish a Scoop, your business channel, the free Moment of the Day and Vanilla Points.
What Scoops is
Vanilla Scoops is the Vanilla Market community feed. Post updates, news and photos; people can follow you, comment and react.
Where to publish a Scoop
- On the /scoops page, or - In the "Scoops" tab inside the site editor.
Both use the same composer. The "Activity" tab in your dashboard only manages Scoops you already published.
Your business channel
Every business has a channel page with its Scoops. Up to 4 active Showcase listings appear at the top.
Moment of the Day
- One photo, a track from the library (up to 30 seconds) and a color effect: none, black & white, sepia, warm, cool or contrast. - No text — no title, no caption. - Live for 24 hours, one moment per 24 hours per business. - Completely free, no tokens.
