Getting started is easy for organization leadership.

Items are programmed to turn on and off at pre-described times so an item may not appear when you log in.

If the item has sold-out or timed-out, you may see reference to it under the "[+] Preview Items Available for Purchase" drop-down below in that category on the payment menu.
