How Captioning Works

Thryft Ship helps your captions, item pricing, and checkout flow work together so your drop feels faster, cleaner, and easier to manage. Here’s what to know.

How Captioning Works

Once your images have been uploaded and grouped into items, you can review everything and decide the order you want your items posted in.

When you’re ready, click Create Captions. From there, Thryft Ship generates captions based on your style using the examples you added during onboarding, along with examples we may have pulled from your Instagram.

This helps your captions sound more like you, instead of generic listing text.

Want Better Captions?

If your captions ever feel a little off, the best fix is usually updating your caption examples.

Think of this as training the system on your tone. The better your examples, the more natural your generated captions will feel over time.

How Bid & BIN Pricing Works in Your Captions

Your starting bid and BIN (Buy It Now) price are directly connected to your caption.

When you create an item, you set your pricing in the item itself. Thryft Ship then automatically places that pricing into the caption for you.

That means the bid and BIN section is not just plain text. It is tied to the actual pricing fields for that item.

Once that section has been deleted and rewritten manually, it becomes regular text. So if you later change the price again in the item, the caption will not update.

Best practice

• Edit prices in the actual bid/BIN pricing fields
• Do not delete and rewrite the pricing portion of the caption by hand
• As long as that section stays untouched, your caption pricing will keep updating automatically
