Frequently asked questions
What does AI Image Enhancement do?
AI Image Enhancement edits your product photos with AI before Flow Lister lists them. It can clean up a photo or place the product on a background image you upload.
Why do I need a Replicate account and API key for AI Image Enhancement?
AI Image Enhancement runs on Replicate, an outside AI service, using your own account. Your API key lets DropFlowLister send images to Replicate on your behalf.
How do I get a Replicate API key?
Sign up at Replicate.com, set up billing there, and create an API token in your Replicate dashboard. The token starts with r8_.
Which AI models can I use, and what do they cost?

Who bills me for AI Image Enhancement?
Replicate bills you directly for each image, because enhancement runs on your own Replicate account. DropFlowLister doesn't charge credits for image enhancement.
Where is my Replicate API key stored?
Your Replicate API key is stored in your browser on this computer. It's used to send images from your browser to Replicate.
How do I test the connection and preview an enhancement?

What is the Poshmark Optimized Prompt?
The Load Poshmark Optimized Prompt button fills in a built-in prompt written for Poshmark-style product photos. You can edit it or write your own.
How do I use a background image with AI Image Enhancement?
Upload a background in the Flow Lister's AI Image Enhancement section with Upload Background (eBay) or Upload (Poshmark). The AI uses it as the scene for your product.
How many images per product can AI Image Enhancement edit?
You can enhance 1 to 10 images per product. Set it in Images to Enhance (eBay) or Images (Poshmark).
Why does Flow Lister say "Please configure AI settings before enabling enhancement"?
This message means no key, model, and prompt are saved yet. Click Configure, fill in all three, and click Save Configuration.
What happened when I see "Enhancement failed, using originals"?
Replicate didn't return an enhanced image for that product, so Flow Lister used the original photos. The listing still goes ahead.
What image formats and sizes does AI Image Enhancement support?
Test uploads and backgrounds can be PNG, JPG, or WEBP files up to 10 MB. Larger files show "Image size must be less than 10MB".
Does AI Image Enhancement slow down bulk listing?
Yes. Each image can take 15–60 seconds depending on the model, so enhancing more images per product makes runs slower.
