How to Properly List a Product to Your Shopify Store 

Product listing is a highly practical feature that allows you to publish selected products to your store efficiently. For sellers managing multiple items, this can significantly reduce the time and effort required. However, new sellers may run into confusion during the listing process. This guide walks you through the steps from product selection to making your item live in your store.

Step 1: Add the Selected Product to Your Shopify Store

Once you’ve identified a product you want to sell, hover your mouse over the product image. Two buttons will appear in the bottom-right corner of the product card (as shown in the image below).
Click the appropriate icon to begin adding the product to your Shopify store.

💡 Tip: Make sure to double-check the product details such as pricing, description, and variants before publishing.

Step 2: Confirm Successful Product Addition

After you successfully add the product, a system prompt will appear confirming the action — usually displaying a message like “Prompt” (as shown in the image below).

This indicates that the product has been added to your product list and is ready for further editing or publishing.

Step 3: Set Selling Price and Inventory Before Publishing

Next, click the Store icon again to access the Publishing Page. On this page, you can set the selling price and inventory in bulk, which is especially useful when listing multiple products at once.

Step 4: Display and Start Selling the Product

After successfully publishing the product, it won’t be visible in your storefront right away — some final settings are still required to make it available for customers to view and purchase.

First, navigate to your Shopify backend, locate the product you just added, and click on the product title to open the product detail page (as shown in the image below).

Step 5: Enable Sales Channels and Start Selling

On the product detail page, go to the right-hand side panel and click through the available sections. Locate the “Manage Sales Channels” option.

Click it, then select all available channels (such as Online Store, POS, etc.), and click Save.

Once saved, your product will be successfully published to the selected sales channels and become visible to customers.
