3Dsellers gives you multiple ways to create listings depending on your workflow, the number of items you want to upload, and how much control you need over listing details.
In this guide, we’ll cover the five ways to create listings in 3Dsellers, and we’ll also explain the difference between Listings and Products in your catalog.
✅ Option 1: Create a Listing Manually (Listing Editor)
Creating listings manually is the best option when you want full control over every listing field.
How to create a listing manually
Go to Listing Tool → Listings
Click Create Listing or Create Draft
Fill in the listing details in the editor, such as:
Title & Category
Product details
Variations (if needed)
Selling details (price, quantity, condition, etc.)
Photos & videos
Item description
Shipping and policies
Click List Item to publish the listing
(or click Save as Draft to finish later)
✅ Best for:
Creating individual listings
Listings that require detailed customization
Full control over categories, item specifics, and policies
✅ Option 2: Create Listings in Bulk Using a CSV File
If you're uploading multiple listings at once, the CSV import method is the fastest way to bulk-create listings.
CSV import allows you to prepare your listing data in Excel / Google Sheets, then upload it into 3Dsellers to create listings in bulk.
How to create listings with a CSV file
Prepare your CSV file with the required product and listing information
Upload the file using the CSV import tool
Review your data and confirm the import

How to Create New Listings With AI
Here’s a draft section you can drop into the article as Option 4 and Option 5, matching the existing tone and structure.
✅ Option 4: Create Listings via Zapier (No-Code Automation)
If you manage your catalog in external tools (like Google Sheets, Airtable, or an ERP), you can use Zapier to create products in 3Dsellers automatically and then turn them into listings using your existing workflows. Zapier connects 3Dsellers to 8,000+ apps and lets you build no-code automations that keep your catalog in sync.
How to create listings with Zapier
Make sure the Zapier integration is enabled in 3Dsellers
(Settings → Integrations → Zapier → Connect to Zapier).
In Zapier, choose your source app (for example: Google Sheets, Airtable, FTP, or another system where your product data lives).
Set a trigger such as “New row in spreadsheet” or “New/updated record”.
Add a 3Dsellers action step: Create Product (and optionally Create Product Category first if needed).
Map your source fields to 3Dsellers product fields (SKU, Title, CategoryId, Price, Currency, etc.).
Turn your Zap on so that every new/updated record in your source automatically creates or updates products in your 3Dsellers catalog.
Use your regular listing workflows in 3Dsellers (manual, CSV, or AI) to publish those catalog products as marketplace listings.
✅ Best for:
Automatically creating or updating products from external systems (sheets, PIM/ERP, suppliers).
Teams that prefer no-code automation instead of direct API development.
Keeping catalog data centralized while still using 3Dsellers to publish and manage listings.

✅ Option 5: Create Listings with the 3Dsellers API (Developer Option)
For advanced and fully automated workflows, you can use the 3Dsellers API to manage products programmatically, then publish them as listings through your existing listing processes. The API is ideal when you need deep integration with your own systems or custom applications.
How to create listings with the API
Enable the 3Dsellers API in your account
(Settings → Integrations → 3Dsellers API → Generate API Key).
Authenticate your integration using your API token (Authorization: Bearer …) or the OAuth2 flow described in the API docs.
Use the Product Management endpoints, for example:
POST /v1/products– create products in your 3Dsellers catalog.PATCH /v1/products/{id}– update product details, inventory, and pricing.GET /v1/products/categories/POST /v1/products/categories– read or create product categories.
From your own system, keep products in sync by calling the API whenever inventory, price, or attributes change.
In 3Dsellers, use your preferred method (manual editor, CSV, or AI) to turn those catalog products into marketplace listings, or trigger internal tools that publish from the catalog.
✅ Best for:
Developers and technical teams who need full control over catalog and inventory from their own systems.
High-volume sellers who want to synchronize products and pricing across multiple platforms programmatically.
Custom ERPs, PIMs, or back-office tools that must be tightly integrated with 3Dsellers.

Products vs Listings in 3Dsellers (Catalog Overview)
In addition to creating listings, 3Dsellers also allows you to create and manage Products in your catalog.
Understanding the difference between Products and Listings helps you organize your workflow and manage your inventory more efficiently.
Note: The Product Catalog is currently available only upon request.
✅ What is a Product?
A Product is an internal item in your 3Dsellers catalog.
It usually contains your core product information, such as:
Product name/title
SKU
Images
General product attributes
Products help you store and manage your inventory in a structured way and make it easier to create listings later.
✅ What is a Listing?
A Listing is the marketplace-facing version of your product.
A listing includes marketplace-specific information such as:
Category
Item specifics
Selling details (price, condition, quantity, etc.)
Policies (shipping, returns, etc.)
Marketplace-required fields
✅ Product = your internal catalog item
✅ Listing = what gets published on your marketplace
Why this matters
Keeping products and listings organized helps you:
Reuse product data across multiple listings
Manage inventory more efficiently
Edit and update listings without losing your core product information
Which Listing Creation Method Should You Use?
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
✅ Use Manual Listing Editor if you want full control and are creating listings one by one
✅ Use CSV Import if you need to upload multiple listings at once
✅ Use AI Listing Creation if you want the fastest way to generate listing drafts
