# Create Product Cards and List to Every Sales Channel

> Create product cards individually or in bulk, then publish them to your e-commerce site and marketplaces from a single Pixa Lab dashboard.

Pixa Lab's product listing tools let you build a complete product catalog and push it to every sales channel without duplicating work. You can create cards one at a time for new additions, upload hundreds of products at once using a formatted Excel file, or import existing listings straight from your ERP, your e-commerce store, or a connected marketplace. Once a product card exists in Pixa Lab, listing it on any channel takes just a few clicks.

## Create a Product Card

### Add a Single Product

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Products section">
    In the Pixa Lab sidebar, navigate to **Products** and click **Add Product**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the product type">
    Select the type that matches your product: **Simple**, **Variant**, **Bundle**, or **Related**. See the [Supported Product Types](#supported-product-types) table below for guidance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the product details">
    Enter the product **name**, **short description**, and **full description**. Upload one or more **images** and add any relevant **attributes** such as brand, dimensions, or material.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the product card">
    Click **Save**. The product card is now available in your Pixa Lab catalog and ready to be listed on any channel.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Upload Products in Bulk via Excel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the Excel template">
    Go to **Products → Bulk Upload** and click **Download Template**. The template includes all required and optional columns with example values.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Populate the spreadsheet">
    Fill in your product data — name, descriptions, images (as URLs), attributes, and product type — following the column headers in the template. Save the file in `.xlsx` format.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the file">
    Return to **Products → Bulk Upload**, click **Choose File**, and select your completed spreadsheet. Click **Upload**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and confirm">
    Pixa Lab validates each row and displays a summary of products to be created along with any errors. Correct any flagged rows and re-upload if needed, then click **Confirm Import**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Import from ERP or a Connected Platform

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Import Products">
    Navigate to **Products → Import** and select the source: **ERP**, **E-Commerce Site**, or a connected **Marketplace**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the products to import">
    Browse or search the available products from the selected source and tick the ones you want to bring into Pixa Lab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Map fields if prompted">
    If field names differ between your source and Pixa Lab, use the mapping interface to align them. Pixa Lab pre-fills common mappings automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the import">
    Click **Import Selected**. Each imported item becomes a full product card in your Pixa Lab catalog.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  If your ERP is already the authoritative source of product data, use it as your primary import channel. Importing from your ERP first ensures that names, descriptions, and attributes are consistent across every sales channel from the start — reducing manual corrections later.
</Tip>

## List a Product on a New Channel

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the product card">
    From **Products**, find the product you want to list and click its name to open the card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to the Listings tab">
    Inside the product card, select the **Listings** tab. You will see all channels currently configured in your Pixa Lab account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the target channel">
    Find the marketplace or e-commerce site you want to list on and click **Add Listing**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set channel-specific content and price">
    Adjust the title, description, images, and price for this channel if they differ from your defaults. Channel-specific fields override the base product card values for that channel only.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish the listing">
    Click **Publish**. Pixa Lab sends the listing to the selected channel. The listing status updates to **Live** once the channel confirms receipt.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If the product already exists on the target platform, Pixa Lab detects it and prompts you to link rather than create a duplicate. See [Product Sync](/pixa-lab/product-management/sync) for details on automatic and manual matching.
</Note>
