Note: There are 2 options to save your work while Adding a New Product. Draft allows you to save what has been completed (and it's suggested that you click Draft as you add your product information). Submit should only be clicked when your Product is ready for review. Once a Product is submitted, it can take up to 72 hours to be reviewed. You will only receive an email if the product is not approved for any reason.

To start, let's make sure you have the correct graphics, final product for upload, etc for your Product page. Digital Assets Requirements is the place to go to get all of the up-to-date info.

Now that you have your digital assets in order, let's get started. First, make sure you are logged into your Store Manager Dashboard.
