What is a product?
Products are what your brand and company produces and sells to consumers.
How do add my product listing?
On the left hand side of your dashboard, if you select Brands & Products, this will bring you to your previously created brand page. To access the Product section, if you select the View Product, this will give you the option to create a new product listing.

When you start to fill out a product listing, there will be five stages you are required to fill out:
