Start a New Product Listing

From your Seller Dashboard, navigate to Products and select "Add Product". Complete all required fields carefully to ensure your listing is accurate, informative and easy for customers to understand.

Choose the Correct Category

Select the category and subcategory that best match your product. Choosing the correct category helps customers find your products faster through search and category browsing.

Write a Clear Product Title

Use a descriptive title that clearly identifies your product. Include important details such as the brand, model, size, colour or capacity where applicable. Avoid using unnecessary symbols or promotional wording.

Create a Detailed Description

Provide customers with all the information they need before making a purchase. Describe the product features, specifications, materials, dimensions, compatibility, included accessories and any other relevant information.

Upload High-Quality Images

Use clear, well-lit photographs that accurately represent your product. Upload multiple images from different angles so customers can view the product with confidence. Avoid blurry, watermarked or misleading images.

Set Your Price

Enter the selling price of your product and, where applicable, include any promotional or discounted pricing. Ensure your pricing is accurate before publishing your listing.

Manage Stock Levels

Enter the available quantity for your product and keep your inventory updated as stock changes. Accurate inventory helps prevent cancelled orders and improves the customer experience.

Add Product Variants

If your product is available in different sizes, colours, styles or other options, create product variants so customers can select the exact option they wish to purchase.

Enter Accurate Shipping Information

Provide the correct product weight and dimensions, including length, width and height. Accurate shipping information helps calculate courier options and delivery costs during checkout.

Review Before Publishing

Before making your product available for sale, review all information carefully to ensure the title, description, pricing, images, stock and shipping information are correct. Accurate listings reduce customer questions and improve buyer confidence.

Keep Your Listing Updated

Regularly update your product information, pricing, stock availability and images to ensure customers always receive accurate information when shopping on Mzansi Marketplace.
