❖ Add keywords relevant to your product listing.❖ Buyers often use keywords that describe the products they’re

looking for online.❖ Example: Camera Bag, Waterproof Camera Bag, Cushioned

Bag, Bag With Compartments, Bag With Multiple Pockets, Camera Accessories etc.

❖ Keywords help buyers find exactly what they’re looking for, or something close enough.

MANUFACTURER NAMEIf you’re a manufacturer, enter your company’s name.

If you’re a supplier, merchant, importer, exporter, dealer, distributor, then enter the name of the manufacturer of the product.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Mention your product’s features. This is especially important while selling online since most customers wouldn’t know a product’s features and won’t be able to examine it.

❖ Product specifications are details about the product, such as colour, dimensions, weight, volume, material/fabric, lining etc.

❖ Product weight is especially important, since it affects shipping costs.❖ Product specs help customers make informed purchase decisions and

save manufacturers/sellers time that would otherwise get wasted in negotiating and processing wrong product returns. After filling this up, click on Save & Continue.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONGive a detailed description of your product. This helps a potential buyer with any information he may require in order to make a purchase.

UPLOAD PRODUCT IMAGES

❖ Product images help a buyer see what the product looks like, and aid in making informed decisions.

❖ Click presentable pictures of your products i.e. with good lighting and a suitable background that will make your products stand out.

❖ Make sure it has good lighting.❖ The picture should be less than 3 MB in size.❖ It should highlight various product details, if possible.❖ Photograph the product from different angles.❖ It shouldn’t be blurry or out of focus.

UPLOAD PRODUCT IMAGES

Once you’ve uploaded the images, click “Submit Now!”. Congratulations! Your product listing is now ready.

A key point to consider here is that every product category is taxed differently. When you create your product listing, make sure to mention the GST percentage that will be added to your PO/invoice. This will give your buyers a good estimate of how much the purchase would cost them inclusive of tax.
