Step 1: Starting a New Shopify Listing
There are two ways to start a new Shopify listing. If you’re using draft products and manifests, follow method 1. If you don’t use draft products or manifests, method 2 guides you through the listing process.
💡Operational Tip: New to listing on Upright Lister?
Method 1: List via Draft Products (Recommended)
If you use manifests to record inbound items, or create draft products before listing, navigate to the Products>Drafts page to begin listing.
Click on the “Products” button in the upper right navigation menu of Lister and select “Drafts” from the dropdown menu
Note: Depending on your role, you may automatically see the products page when your first log in to Lister.
From the Draft Products page, search for the product you want to list by scanning or typing the barcode into the search bar or by entering the product title
Click the green “List” button next to the item to begin the listing process and move to step 2
Method 2: List via New Product Button
If you don’t use Draft Products of Manifests, you can create a new listing from any page in Lister. There are two options to start a new product, but both immediately take you to the New Product page described in step 2.
Option 1: Click the “New Product” link in the top navigation menu from any page in Lister
Option 2: Click the “Add Product” button on the product page
Step 2: Select a Product Category and Listing Strategy
On the New Product page, you’ll be prompted to enter a category and listing strategy for the item.
The pictures and title will appear at the top of the page if you used method 1 to list the draft product. The new product page will be blank if the listing begins via method 2 (above).
Method 1 Example:
Method 2 Example:
No matter what method was chosen to start the listing, the following fields need to be completed and verified before continuing:
Category: Begin by typing the name of the product category into the category box
Listing Strategy: Listing strategies automatically populate based on the product category. The default strategy can be changed from this dropdown menu
Next: Once the category and listing strategy are verified, click the green “Next” button to move to step 3 of the listing process
Step 3: Complete Builder Template Details
If the product category is tied to a builder template, you’ll be prompted to complete the product attribute details.
If a field is required, it is marked in red on the template page. Once all required fields have been completed, click the Preview button at the bottom left of the template page.
Step 4: Verify Listing Details and Channel Options
The next page is the listing editor. This page is broken into three sections to help guide you through the final listing process:
Images and Product Details
Images: If pictures have not been taken via Link, you can click the top box to upload new images from your computer or drag and drop them into the upload box. Click here to learn how to take and edit pictures in Lister and Link
Title: If a builder template was used, most of the title should be built already. Make any final changes in this box that you want to show on Shopify
SKU and Supplier: If the listing was created via a draft product (method 1, above), the supplier and SKU will automatically be entered. If created by the New Product button, these fields will be blank and can manually be entered
Item Weight: Enter the item weight in lbs to help accurately estimate shipping charges
Inventory Location: In most cases, locations are added after an item is listed via Link
If your organization adds inventory locations after listing, this box can be ignored.
Item Dimensions: Enter the exact product dimensions in inches, if they are not already entered
Box Padding: Select a box padding size to help accurately estimate shipping charges
Tags: Enter any internal tags to help further track the product in Lister
Shipping Method: This field is only relevant to Shopgoodwill sellers. It can be ignored when listing a product to any other marketplace
Shipping Box and Weight: These fields help you save time during the shipping process when calculating shipping for single-item orders. In the example below, you can see the dimensional weight is calculated here
Listing Details and Product Notes
The next section of the listing page allows you to override any description details of the Shopify listing and leave internal notes about the product.
Listing Details: Modify any details that are automatically entered via the builder template
Product Notes: Any internal notes about the product will be displayed in this section. You can also enter new notes for internal use. This field is not visible on Shopify
Channel Options and Overrides
The final section at the bottom of the listing page allows you to:
Set your item price (if not controlled by a listing strategy)
Add additional Shopify tag
Override the listing duration
Make any final changes before publishing the listing
Step 5: Save Listing
Click the blue “Save” button in the top right corner of the listing page to publish your Shopify listing!
💡 Operational Tip: As you scroll down the listing page, the “Save” button will always stay visible to help get your items listed as fast as possible!
