Share a haul list without sharing your whole shelf

A haul post is a list, and links are a bad list

Somebody asks what is in your haul. You have fourteen items across Weidian, Yupoo, and two Taobao sellers. So you paste fourteen URLs, and the thread shows fourteen identical blue lines with no photos, no prices, and no sizes.

The screenshot fixes the photos and breaks everything else. Nobody can open an item, nobody can read the seller name at that resolution, and the post stops being useful the moment one item sells out.

One haul, read-only, at an address nobody can guess

Open the haul and press Share. Credenza writes a read-only page at a random 12-character address, and copies the link. The page shows the cards you already built: cover photo, title, and whichever other fields you allow.

• It carries one haul, not your shelf. Other hauls are not on it.
• It is read-only. A reader cannot edit, add, or reorder anything.
• The address is random, so it cannot be guessed from your name or the haul name.
• No page on Credenza lists your links. The only way in is the link itself.

A field you switch off is not on the page at all

Before the link is made, you choose what goes in it: prices, notes, quality, sellers, parcel. Each is a switch.

A field you switch off is absent from the page, not hidden by styling. This is the difference that matters. Hidden text is still in the source, so anybody who opens the page source reads it. Credenza never sends it, so there is nothing to find.

• Prices off — show the haul without telling a subreddit what you spend.
• Sellers off — ask about fit or quality without handing over your finds.
• Notes off — your reminders were written for you, not for readers.
• Parcel off — weight and shipping stay your business.

Reddit and Discord show a card, not a bare URL

The link carries a preview image, a title, and the item count, so a paste in a thread renders as a card with your cover photo. That is what makes people click it instead of scrolling past.

Paste the link on its own line. Both platforms only build a card for a URL that stands alone, so a link buried inside a sentence stays a bare blue line.

Delete the link and the page stops existing

Open Profile, then Shared links. Every link you made is listed there with its haul name. Delete one and the page answers 404 straight away — not when a cache expires.

Deleting a link changes nothing in your shelf. The haul, the cards, the photos, and the notes stay exactly as they were. The link was a copy, and only the copy goes.

What free covers, and what Pro adds

• Free keeps 3 links at a time. Delete one to make another.
• Pro keeps 100, which is a different way of working: a link per haul, kept.
• Pro adds an expiry date, so a link ends itself.
• Pro adds an unlisted option and a page with no Credenza footer.
• Choosing which fields go in is free. Privacy is not the paid part.

Four things the link is actually for

• The haul post. One link instead of fourteen, with photos that load.
• A QC second opinion. Share the two items in question, prices off. See tracking QC photos.
• A group order. Everybody reads the same list, and nobody can edit it.
• A sizing question. Post the items and the chart rows, and ask.

Two habits worth keeping

Open the link yourself first, in a private window. That is what a reader sees, and it takes five seconds to confirm the prices really are off.

Keep your hauls separate before you share rather than after. A link carries one haul, so a shelf where everything lives in a single haul gives you nothing to choose between.
