Add a product
Before you start
If your marketplace requires product types, you must create the product type before you can create products. You can confirm if product types are required by navigating to Settings -> Marketplace configuration -> Products in the Dashboard.
Steps
- In the Dashboard, go to Products -> Products.
- Select Create product.
- In the Summary section, give the product a name and description.
- In the Owner section, select the seller who owns this product. Default Owner
If left blank, the owner defaults to the seller account associated with the current user. You cannot change the seller once the product is saved.
- In the Taxonomy section:
- Select the Product Type to use as the template.
- Choose the Category.
You can add the category later, but the category is required before publishing the product. - (Optional) Assign the product to any Collections, as needed.
- Select Save.
After saving the product, new sections become available for data entry. - Enter additional product details and add images, as needed.
What's next
- Add product variants
- Assign warehouse inventory to variants
- Publish the product or set a publication date
Add a digital or service product
You can add non-physical products to your catalog for services or digital products. Some examples include an online course, graphic art, or a video game.
The steps to create a digital or service product are the same as to create a standard product, however the following requirements apply to the product type used to create the product:
- For any non-physical product, the product type must have the Is this product shippable? setting turned off.
- To add digital content, the product type must be simple. That is, the product type must not use variant attributes.
Variant attributes are different from product variants. For example, a digital product (Madden NFL 25) can have product variations for different platforms (Playstation 5 and Xbox One).
Upload digital content
Only simple products can have digital content.
- In the Dashboard, go to Products -> Products.
- Open the digital product you want to edit.
- Scroll down to the Digital content section.
- There are two ways to add an file:
- Drag-and-drop a file on the Drop here to upload pane.
- Click Drop here to upload, and then select an image from your device.
The system tracks the date when the content was added as well as the number of downloads.

The product details page opens in an editable view. - Make the required changes.
