The Second section you will need to fill out is "Shipping Details".

Next is the "Inventory Details" section.

- In the "Track Inventory" drop down menu you can select "Don't Track Inventory" if you want to sell an item before you make it. 

- This allows buyers to add as many of the product as they want into their cart and complete their purchase. This will mean that if you do not have the amount that it is ordered on hand, you will need to make sure to complete the customers order within an agreed upon time frame.

- Failure to complete a customers order may effect your standing with Selladon.com.

- The second option in the drop down menu is "Track This Product's Inventory". Selecting this option, you can indicate the exact amount of the product you are listing. This will allow buyers to select only the amount you have in-stock to purchase.

The following box is for "Variant Details."

- The blue link that reads "Add Variant" will allow you to add a variant to the product you are listing.

- Use this function to add a variety to the same product. (Example: If you have different colors, sizes or styles for the same mug, plate, vase, etc...)

- After you click the "Add Variant" link two boxes will appear for the Optional Name and Optional value. (Example: Large Blue Plate, Small Black Mug, and the corresponding price for those products.)

The "Collections" box needs to be completed before you save changes to your post.  Collections are product categories that help organize items and make it easier for buyers to find them on Selladon.

- The blue link that reads "View Smart Collections" will open a new tab and show you all of the Smart Collections that Selladon.com has generated.

- When you selected a Product Tag earlier in your product listing your product was automatically added to the corresponding Smart Collection. (Example: If you tagged your product as a Mug, it was added to the "Dining & Hosting" collection. This means that your product will be able to be viewed by buyers when they select the Dining & Hosting Collection from Selladon's Homepage.)

- Make sure to read over all of the "Smart Collection" tags so that you can tag your product to be seen in multiple corresponding collections.

- In the "Collections" drop down menu, "Home page" is the default selection. Note: If you did not tag your product early it will not show up in any of the Smart Collections and will only be added to Selladon.com when you select "Home Page" from the Collections drop down menu.

- This means your product visibility will be low and less buyers will be able to find your product while browsing Selladon.com.

- Once you have selected "Home Page" from the drop down menu, you can click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page.

IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS:

Before you add Photos to your listing, click the green "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the screen. If you do not Save Changes at this point of your product listing, you will lose all of your progress.

The "Product Image" box is where you will add photos to your product listing.

- The second email will inform you that the payment has been confirmed and will include a table with the Order Id, Order Total and the Payment Status.

- Please save and print out these emails for your records.
