Storefront quick start: publish your first product
Last updated September 11, 2026
Create a retail product from Catalog and push it to a sales channel or Riverr storefront.
Prerequisites
- Signed in with Catalog access
- A blank available under Catalog (or an existing blank ID)
Steps
- Open Catalog
- Admin: left nav Products → Catalog
- Seller: left nav Catalog
- URL:
/products/new-product - Shortcut: header Create → Product (“Add to catalog”)
- Search or browse blanks, then open a blank. You may land on blank details (
/products/new-product/{blankId}/details) or go straight into the designer. - In the designer (
/products/new-product/{blankId}, full-screen / no admin chrome):
- Use Back to Catalog to leave without finishing
- Place artwork (tabs include Upload, Add Text, Graphics, AI Design)
- On the listing / variations step, click Create Product. Use the channel control labeled Add to Channel and set state Draft or Active.
- Confirm the product appears under retail products:
- Admin: Products → Retail Products (
/products) — breadcrumb Products / My Products - Legacy: left nav Products (
/products)
- To push to a channel from the list: select row(s) → Add to Channel → Add → in Select Product State choose Active or Draft → Confirm.
Success toast: All products added to channel successfully.
- Optional Riverr storefront check: Stores (
/shops) → open a MyCart store → View live store / Copy store link, or store admin Catalog → Products at/shop/settings/{shopId}/products.
What happens next
Channel-active products sync to the connected shop. Storefront buyers see live catalog products under the shop’s product list.
