Sharing your listing
Every listing and every shelf can be turned into a card built for social media. This page covers how to make one, what sizes you get, and where they work.
What you'll learn
- How to make a share card
- The seven sizes and which platform each is for
- The three layouts
- What happens when you paste a link somewhere
Sharing a listing from the marketplace
Tap the share icon in the corner of any listing card — in the grid, in the list, or on the listing page itself. A panel opens with four sizes, each one previewed with your actual bottle:
| Size | Where it fits |
|---|---|
| 1080 × 1080 | Instagram square post |
| 1080 × 1350 | Instagram portrait post |
| 1080 × 1920 | Instagram Stories, Reels, TikTok |
| 1200 × 630 | Facebook, and link previews |
Pick one and tap Share to send it straight to another app, or Download to save it. Download All gives you all four as a zip.
Every card carries a QR code and a link back to the listing, so anyone who sees it can get to the bottle. That link is tagged, so you can see in your dashboard which shares actually brought someone in.
Making a shelf card
From a shelf, tap Share. You get a live preview that updates as you change anything.
You can set:
- Card layout — how the bottles are arranged
- Platform size — the canvas the card is drawn on
- Palette — 24 colours
- Your own image — sits behind the card, or on top as a sticker
- A sticker — 40 to choose from
- A caption — one italic line above the footer
- Title and subtitle — override just for this card
- Your handle — show it or keep the card anonymous
Then Download it, or Share to send it straight to another app.
The three layouts
| Layout | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| List | Every bottle, ranked | A full shelf — up to 40 |
| Photo | Your own image across the top, the full list underneath | When you have a good photo |
| Top 5 | Just five, poster-sized type | Making one thing stand out |
Photo uses the same image you add below the layout picker — there is nothing extra to upload. Every bottle still appears underneath it.
Top 5 deliberately shows five even if your shelf has twenty. The card's own heading says "TOP 5" so it never claims more than it shows.
The seven sizes
| Size | Dimensions | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Feed · 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 | Instagram feed |
| Story · 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 | Instagram stories |
| Square · 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 | Instagram, Facebook |
| Video · 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 | TikTok |
| Photo · 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 | TikTok photo posts |
| Shorts · 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 | YouTube Shorts |
| Thumbnail · 16:9 | 1280 × 720 | YouTube thumbnails |
| Landscape · 1.91:1 | 1200 × 630 | Link previews |
The card re-lays itself out for whichever you pick — it is not one design stretched. Long lists set smaller type so every bottle still fits rather than dropping any.
Pasting a link
When you paste a ScentSell shelf link into Facebook, X, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Reddit, the preview shows that shelf — its name, how many bottles, and a card image of the list itself.
You do not need to do anything for this. Paste the link and the preview builds itself.
Where the cards carry our name
Every card carries @scentsellsocials and #ScentSell in the footer, and the line "Create These Lists on www.scentsell.com.au FREE".
That is deliberate. If you post a card and tag us, we will see it and can share it on to our own accounts.
:::tip One card, several places Make the card once at Story size and it works for Instagram stories, TikTok and YouTube Shorts — they are all 1080 × 1920. :::
