Go to "Products" "All products" "Create new product" "Sell something I have"

 

Add in product details

Since this item already exists, we’ll skip over the product and design pages and go directly to the listing page for the new product. Input product details the same way that you would for items from the product catalog, including the product name, description, price and shipping.

Note: Since you are creating this item completely from scratch, you will need to fill in most of this page yourself. This includes the product name, description (if using), price and shipping.

 

Add photos

Upload photos of your product by clicking on the “Drop or browse” button. Once they are uploaded, you can drag and drop to sort the display order. 

Pro tip: Try to add images of you or your team wearing or using the products. This is an awesome tool to create hype as these photos can be used on social media later on!

 

Set inventory

The “In stock” option is set to unlimited by default. if the item has limited stock, click “Unlimited” to bring up the quantity window, un-check “Make unlimited” and adjust to your new quantity.

 

Add variants (colors)

If your product has any variants such as size or color, click “Add variants.” Here you can add new colors, add different sizes or add custom variants. 

On the “Add new colors” page, customize the color selections for your item by filling in the text fields with your color name. Add a hex color code to match as well.


To reorder the colors, hover over the right side of the bar and click the dots to drag and drop. To delete a color, click the “X”.



If different colors have different prices or photos, select the appropriate boxes and fill in the corresponding prices or photos on the main product page.

Add variants (sizes)

If there are different sizes for your custom item, click “Add different sizes.” Sizes can be reordered or deleted the same as the color variants, by hovering over the dots or clicking the x on the right side of the bar. You can also check the appropriate boxes if different sizes have different prices, photos, or weights. If so, weights are filled in next to the sizes and price and photos are updated on the main product page.


Add variants (other)

You can add custom variants as well, and each can have its own unique price, photos and weights, too.

 

Add a product ID or SKU

Below the “Add Variants” button you can mark an item as sold out or add a unique SKU or UPC code (if we are storing and fulfilling the item at one of our warehouses for example).

 

Edit additional sections

Below the product description text field, click “Edit additional sections” to add garment details (materials and weight), size & fit measurements, and the quality guarantee & returns. Unlike when you are designing a new product, these fields are not filled automatically, so you will need to enter this information based on your product’s specifications.

  • In the “Add more details section,” you can add in your fun and informative text.
  • In the “Add size & fit section,” add any important details here especially if the item has different sizes or other important information regarding variants. 
  • In the “Add quality guarantee and returns section,”  copy/paste any product guarantees and/or return info from other catalog items so that the wording and promises stay consistent. You can move these boxes around by hovering over the top to the right of the title. Same as the previous custom boxes, drag and drop by clicking the dots or delete by pressing “X”.

Pro tip: If you are using items made by another company, such as a custom toy, you can get the details from the manufacturer on what materials etc where used. For apparel products you had pre-made, you can look up the garment blank on Google and simply copy/paste the pertinent size and material information from the manufacturer.

 

Set it live!

The last step in the process is making your product live!

By default, products are hidden so you can make sure to keep in-progress listings secret. When your masterpiece is ready for the world, simply click the yellow “Hidden” button in the top right corner, select “Public” and then click “Save”!
