  4. In the Owner section, select the seller who owns this product.

    1. Set the Product configuration to Standard.
    2. Select the Product Type to use as the template.

      You can add the category later, but the category is required before publishing the product.
    4. (Optional) Assign the product to any Collections, as needed.
  6. Select Save.
    After saving the product, new sections become available for data entry.
  7. Enter additional product details and add images, as needed.

  • For any non-physical product, the product type must have the Is this product shippable? setting turned off.
