# Create a Listing (Product)
How to create a listing as a platform user
### Definition
The listing deposit refers to the process of publishing a **Product** listing on the platform, enabling vendors to offer a single physical item for sale at a fixed reference price. Buyers can then purchase the item directly online or contact the vendor beforehand.
To deposit a listing, users must be registered and logged into the platform. The Log In and Register options must be utilized to gain access to this feature.
In a non-switch platform configuration, only vendors can create listings.
### Triggering the listing creation workflow
To understand how this step is reached during the listing process creation, refer to the **Rendering Type Selection (Commoditized)** section in the documentation.
### Step 1 of 3 — About your listing
| Field | Required | Description |
| ----------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Listing title** | ✓ | Short, clear title — the first thing a buyer will see |
| **Description** | ✓ | Free-text description of the item |
| **Media** | | Images / Files / Videos tabs |
An automatic translation is set up by default. Any non-manually translated fields are automatically translated into the platform's other languages, unless the vendor enters their own translation for a given language (language selector at the top of the form).
✓ Click **Continue** to proceed to Step 2 of 3.
### Step 2 of 3 — Price & conditions
| Field | Required | Description |
| ----------------------------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Category** | ✓ | Category assigned to the listing |
| **Base price** | ✓ |
Reference price, all taxes included Your income - Automatically calculated from the Base price, once the vendor's platform fees are deducted Platform fees - Vendor-side service fees, automatically calculated (not editable)
|
| **Allow online purchase** | | Checkbox — enables direct online purchase on this listing (if unchecked, buyers can only contact the vendor) |
| **Delivery available** | | Toggle — indicates whether delivery is offered for this item |
| **Delivery / hand-off terms** | | Free-text field describing hand-off or delivery conditions |
✓ Once the offer is complete, click **Proceed to Step 3 of 3**.
### Step 3 of 3 — Attributes & Address of the listing
#### Set your attributes
Attributes provide an additional layer of information to describe a listing. They are structured, searchable entities that are associated with specific categories. The available attributes may vary depending on the category selected for a listing. A "\*" symbol displayed on the right side of an attribute field indicates that the attribute is mandatory. For detailed instructions on creating and managing attributes, refer to the [**Listing Attributes Management**](/v2.0/superadmin/listings/listings-attribute-management.md) section.
#### Set the adress of the listing
The Address section allows the vendor to provide the location where the item is located / can be picked up. The following details are expected:
| Field | Required |
| ---------------------- | -------- |
| **Country** (dropdown) | |
| **City** | ✓ |
| **ZIP Code** | |
| **Street Number** | |
| **Street Name** | |
If the full address is not mandatory on the listing, the user can click the arrow icon to hide the ZIP, Number, and Street fields.
**Confirm Address** checks the information and displays the location on the map.
### Publishing the listing
At the conclusion of the listing deposit process, the user must check **"I accept the Terms and Conditions"** and select either:
* **Publish your listing**
* **Save as a draft** — creates the listing without publishing it; it is marked as **Hidden** in the user's dashboard.
***
### Show a listing on the platform
The user can review the listing information entered through their dashboard.
Path: `Dashboard > Listings > [Listing name] > Presentation`
### Update a listing
#### Navigation Steps
During the listing deposit process, the user can update the listing's information by clicking **"Back to step X"**, which redirects to the previous step to edit the previously entered information.
#### Languages management
The vendor can also update the listing's translations manually via the language icon. The user selects the desired language from the list of available languages. Any field not manually translated remains automatically translated by default.
Once the listing deposit process is complete, additional settings can be managed through the vendor dashboard — see the related article: [**Edit a Listing (Product)**](/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/product/edit-a-listing-product.md).
### Delete a listing
Users cannot delete a listing during the listing deposit process, as it is not yet published — they can, however, interrupt the deposit process.
A published listing can be deleted through the vendor's listing dashboard — see: [**Edit a Listing (Product)**](/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/product/edit-a-listing-product.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/product/create-a-listing-product.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
