Run a card break

Start your first break

1. Turn on Social Stream. Open Money > Shops & support > Breaks > Open Breaks. This opens your private workspace link.
2. 选择 Set up. Select a sports preset, use numbered spots, or paste one spot name per line. Spreadsheet columns can be pasted in this order: name, asking price, description, private note.
3. Enter a title, buyer platform, and currency, then choose Create break. Assignments are manual on every platform.
4. 在 Run break, select a spot, enter its buyer, and choose Save spot. A buyer name claims an available spot.
5. 打开 OBS 并选择 预览 to check the audience view, then 复制 OBS 链接 and add it as a Browser Source. New boards stay hidden until you choose 显示叠加层（Show overlay）. Change their appearance on the same tab.

Run a whole show

打开 Show > New show and enter a name. In Set up, prepare a break and choose Add to show queue. Repeat for the next breaks. In Show, choose Start break when ready; selected stock is used at that point. To include a break you already started, choose Add current break.

位于 Giveaway prizes, save each prize, optionally using one item from stock. Choose Record winner to enter the winner's platform account and order reference. For a giveaway run in SSN, choose a prize first, then Load recent winners to copy a saved result. For a giveaway run on a selling platform, enter its winner here.

A prize taken from stock stays set aside until fulfilled. Remove & return stock cancels that prize and returns its item. It does not cancel an order or giveaway on your platform.

In each spot's Payment and price, enter the platform order reference. Saving a different latest pull adds it to Recorded pulls; edit that list to correct mistakes or record identical cards. It holds up to 30 pulls per spot.

Pack orders groups a buyer's spots and prizes across the show by platform and account name. Check account names and platform orders before combining packages. Choose Review & print，然后 Print / Save PDF or, in SSApp, Print thermal slip. Thermal slips use your existing printer settings. Printing does not mark an order packed or shipped.

After checking the contents, choose Mark packed. Ship using your selling platform's addresses, labels and tracking, then choose Mark shipped. Packing later purchases keeps previously shipped items marked shipped. Use Mark pending to reopen the buyer's record. Changed assignments, pulls or payments return affected items to pending. Correct a payment updates a spot even after its break was archived; refunds never automatically return stock.

Export packing CSV includes buyers, order references, pulls and packing status. Export full show also includes private notes, costs and queued breaks. Keep it private. Shows hold up to 12 queued breaks and 60 prizes; up to 12 shows can be saved. Export before using Saved show > Remove show records, which removes its archived breaks and prizes without changing stock quantities. Archive its current break first.

Suggest auction winners

在 Run break > Auction suggestions, choose Whatnot or eBay Live, paste the show URL, and choose Start suggestions. Keep that show's source capturing in Social Stream. Start before bidding begins: completed auctions loaded when opening a show are ignored.

Choose a spot beside each winner and select Assign buyer，或 Dismiss. Assignments never replace an occupied spot or confirm payment. Whatnot suggestions use its break and spot IDs; they do not infer a random spot's team from its title. eBay uses the auction ID and lets you choose the spot.

After a capture change or host restart, check the platform for missed sales, then choose Reviewed on platform. Suggestions cannot recover events that were not captured. Pausing stops new suggestions and keeps the current list; changing shows clears it.

Keep the private link private

Breaks has two links. The OBS overlay link shows viewers the public board. The private control link opens this workspace, with its payments, notes, costs and stock. Use it for your own windows and OBS docks, and never as a Browser Source or in a chat.

Breaks records are encrypted between the workspace and your SSN host, using a key that only the private link holds. Your session ID cannot read or change them, and the key is never sent over the network. The overlay is different: like every SSN overlay, it trusts its session, so someone with your session ID could send it false content. They still cannot see or change your records. If the private link leaks, choose Money > Shops & support > Breaks > Reset workspace link. Old links stop receiving updates and cannot save. Reopen Breaks from the Money tab to use the new link.

Encryption needs HTTPS, localhost or the app. A workspace opened from a plain HTTP address on your network cannot connect.

During the break

使用 Highlight to call attention to a spot. Enter the latest pull and choose 揭晓 to show it. The overlay shows the latest pull; the packing record keeps the recorded pulls. Card image URLs go under Description and private note. To free a sold spot, set it to 可用 and save: this clears its buyer, payment, pull and private note, and the activity log keeps who held it.

Payment and price holds your asking price, confirmed paid amount, and payment status. Check payment on your selling platform before manually marking a spot paid. Enter the confirmed amount, including zero for a free spot. Use asking price copies the asking price into the amount field for review.

Unsaved spot, appearance, cost and stock edits stay in the workspace when switching views or refreshing. Choose Discard edits to load saved values. Keep the workspace open until edits are saved. On narrow screens, use Back to spots 或 Save and next.

Swap buyers exchanges owners, and each buyer keeps their payment record and private note. Undo reverses the last spot change, and hovering over it shows what that was; it leaves stage, visibility, lock and appearance alone. Lock prevents assignment edits until unlocked.

Add spots while filling. Only empty, available spots can be removed. Stage and visibility controls affect the Breaks display; they do not change your selling platform or OBS scenes.

使用 显示 for grid, compact-strip, or side-column layouts, colors, and optional buyer names or asking prices. Available-only display hides taken spots without removing their records. For many results or long names, use Grid or a taller Browser Source.

The board shows how many spots are left and how many are claimed. Claimed counts include revealed spots and do not confirm payment. The stage label (Spots open, Breaking or Complete) follows the Stage you choose; a full board does not change it.

选择 标准 或 Team colors ；对应的设置项： Display > Theme. League presets fill in team codes and colors. Edit or clear them under Team code and colors in the spot editor. In Team colors, an image link appears beside the spot name in place of its code.

Finish and reuse

Finish and review opens a recap grouped by buyer, with payment status and the latest pull. In History, Run again prepares the selected break for a new show without its buyers, payments or stock usage.

Export CSV on Run break and Private CSV in History download assignments grouped by buyer, including payment amounts and private notes. Buyer recap CSV includes only the break, spots, buyers and latest pulls. Keep this file for your own sorting records.

Archive current break in History finishes the break and hides its board. Starting another break also offers to archive the current one; a break nothing has happened on is discarded instead of saved. History keeps up to 30 breaks. When it is full, use Export full record to keep everything a break holds, including stock records, costs and activity, then remove it. The CSV only covers spots. Each break keeps its latest 500 activity entries. Everything has to fit through the session relay, so very long lists of notes, saved setups or stock can reach a limit; removing some makes room.

使用 OBS > Save this setup to save up to 12 setups. Setups preserve spot names, asking prices, images, team codes and colors, and appearance, including the theme; buyers, payment records, results, and private notes are cleared. Use current setup prepares a fresh copy of the current spot list.

Stock and costs

Stock keeps up to 100 local items with quantities and unit costs. It is optional. Shipping labels and addresses stay on your selling platform. Set up break copies an item's name and currency into the new-break form and selects one unit under Use stock. Creating the break uses that unit; choose None to create it without stock.

To open something from stock, use Stock used ；对应的设置项： Costs，或 Use 1 in this break 在 Stock. This reduces the local quantity and records the item, quantity and unit cost on the break. Return to stock reverses it, including from a saved break under History. Undo does not touch stock, and a removed item comes back when returned.

在 Stock > Import from eBay，选择 Connect seller tools and continue on eBay. Then choose Load my listings 或 Import listing URL. Select Add to stock, check the quantity, enter your unit cost, and save. Saved showcase listings are also available here.

To link an existing item, edit it and choose its eBay listing. Choose None to unlink it. Linking keeps your quantity, cost and notes; Use listing name copies the current saved title. The link stays with stock used in a break and with returned stock. Sandbox listings stay separate from real listings. Older links marked for review need the listing selected again.

Seller listings supply available quantities; showcase availability alone is not a stock count. Listing prices are not unit costs. For listings with variations, link each stock item to its exact variation and give each variation a SKU on eBay.

Saving or using local stock does not change eBay. To update a fixed-price listing, choose Update eBay quantity, review its current and proposed available quantity, then choose Apply to eBay. If the result is uncertain, check the listing on eBay before preparing another update.

Whatnot, eBay Live, TikTok, and other shows can use manual assignments. Breaks does not automatically match purchases, randomizer results, payments, or refunds to spots.

此 Costs tab adds the cost of stock used to Product cost outside stock and your fees. Enter only products not already recorded through stock in that manual cost field. Revenue uses host-confirmed paid amounts; missing amounts or unpriced stock make the estimate incomplete. All amounts use the break's currency; stock with no unit cost or in another currency is listed as not counted, and no exchange-rate conversion is applied.

eBay transactions

位于 Costs > eBay transactions，选择 Connect finances and continue on eBay. Select up to 31 days and choose Load transactions to view posted credits, debits, fees and refunds. Each amount retains its currency. These are account transactions; they do not replace the current break's cost estimate or assign fees to its spots.

Review eBay sales

Link your stock to eBay listings. In Stock > eBay sales，开启 Review new sales before selling. New seller-feed sales for those links appear here for review, even with the showcase off. Public auction results do not enter this queue. Order notifications under Import from eBay can prompt earlier checks; regular polling continues.

选择 Deduct to reduce local stock, Already counted if you already used it in a break or adjusted stock yourself, or Dismiss. These actions do not change eBay inventory, buyer assignments, or break payments. Under Recently reviewed, Undo deduction restores stock and returns the sale to the queue.

Pausing keeps pending reviews. Resuming starts with new sales; check eBay for sales made while review or the seller connection was off. Sandbox sales are labelled and only match sandbox stock. If a stock link changes or stock runs short, adjust it manually and mark the sale already counted. Refunds and cancellations flag retained sales for review; confirm whether stock actually returned before adjusting it.

The queue holds 50 pending sales and the last 50 reviews. If a warning reports missing sales, compare with eBay before clearing it. Repeated receipts are ignored across restarts; reopening a break does not reset the sales queue.

Optional controls and games

Event Flow 的 事件类型 trigger includes Break Started 和 Break Finished. These fire when you change the stage in Breaks and supply the break title as {message}. Use them for sounds or scene changes. Buyer and payment details are not supplied.

Links under OBS > Links and audience tools open existing games, polls, timers, and waitlists with your session. Keep audience games separate from purchase assignments and use formats allowed by your selling platform.

Event Flow 的 Commerce control action can highlight a spot, change the stage, and show or hide the overlay. It cannot read Breaks records or change buyers, payments, costs, or what the overlay shows publicly, because flows can be started through your session. Use "boardId":"active" so a flow keeps working from break to break.

{"boardId":"active","id":"1"}

Use that example with breakHighlight。对于 breakStage，使用 stage 带有 filling, breaking，或 finished。对于 breakSettings，使用 visible 带有 true 或 false. Use existing Flow Actions for sounds and celebrations.

Live shortcuts

With a field in the spot editor focused, use Ctrl+Enter to save or Ctrl+Shift+Enter to save and move on. On Mac, use Command instead of Ctrl. While filling, the next spot is an open one; while breaking, it follows board order. Escape returns focus to the spot grid and keeps your draft.

In Stream Deck, add a 预设命令 key and choose Breaks display: show, hide, next spot, previous spot, or clear highlight. Use the plugin's normal shared connection. Next and previous wrap through spots allowed by the overlay filter. Highlighting does not reveal a pull or select a spot for editing.

The keys wait for a host reply. Show/hide controls the overlay feed, not OBS scene visibility. Buyer, payment, stock, packing and printing controls stay in the private workspace. API commands.

Records stay on the SSN installation hosting the session. Keep that host running for controls and overlays. Export completed breaks before changing installations or clearing app data. The workspace contains private records; do not use its URL as a viewer overlay.
