Create a Single Product listing on Papello

Published: 05/02/2026

You can create product listings directly in the Papello dashboard and publish them to your connected marketplace stores.

Currently, Papello supports publishing listings to:

  • Etsy

  • WooCommerce

  • Shopify

When a product is published from Papello to your store, automation is set up automatically. This means that when the product sells on your marketplace:

  • A Papello order is created automatically

  • Your saved payment method is charged

  • The item is printed and shipped directly to your customer

  • No manual action is required from you

This allows for fully automated, “no-touch” fulfilment.


Create a New Listing

From the dashboard sidebar, go to Listings:

https://dash.papello.com/dashboard/listings

Click Create Listing to begin.

Choose Your Product Listing Type

You can create either:

  • Single product listings (e.g. one mug with one design, or a poster in a single size)

  • Variation product listings (e.g. products with options such as size, colour, or design)

In this guide, we’ll create a Single product listing – use the toggle to switch between the listing type.

Once selected, click Next to move to Step 2 – Artwork Selection.


Step 2: Select Artwork

You’ll now need to assign artwork to the product variation. This is the artwork that will be printed onto your product.

Your artwork must already be uploaded to your Artwork Library.

Important:

If artwork is deleted from your library after publishing, the automation will stop working.

Click Select Artwork and choose a print-ready image from your library.

  • Resolution

  • Cropping

  • Print suitability
