Product Listing Page Explained Step-By-Step:
- Choose Product: all products will be considered a "Normal Product"
- Product Name: this will be what shows up as the product listing title
- Product Type: please choose from the list of preset Product Types we have available (this is so we get better SEO with Shopify). To see the full list, click on "View Type Listing". Then, once you've found the best fit for your product, go back to the product listing page and start typing it in; it will then show up in the drop down menu and you can select it from there.
* If you simply click the drop down menu, it will only show you a limited version of the list, not all the ones available.
** Also, if you do not see one that fits for your product, please email us at support@madebyher.com and we can look to see if Shopify has one that does.
- Product Descriptions: please include in your product descriptions your estimated shipping time, return policy, and any other policies you have for customers. It is also best if you list main qualities of your piece within the first line of your description; this helps with SEO. (For example: 30 x 30 inch Oil Painting on Canvas)
- Product Tags: when adding product tags, you will need to type in the tag then hit "enter". This will create one tag, then you can do the same for any others you want to create. (You do not need quotations around the tag, just the word/phrase you want to use.) If you try to put a comma in between each one then hit "enter" at the end, it will recognize everything as one tag.
- Shipping: IF YOU DO NOT SET UP SHIPPING FOR YOUR PRODUCTS, CUSTOMERS CANNOT COMPLETE THEIR PURCHASES. Whether you manually input your products or import them, a Shipping Method must be selected for every product otherwise the customer will get an error message at checkout. (*Be sure to check the box that says "Requires Shipping" otherwise the customer will not be asked to input their shipping address.) You can read more about this in our Shipping Tutorial.
- Pricing Details: the "Price" is what you want the item listed for. the "Compare At Price" is if the product usually costs more and you've listed it on sale. (For example, if an item is usually $100 but you are listing the product for $75, you would put $100 in the "Compare At Price" box and $75 in the "Price" box.)
- Adding Variant(s):
Select what type of Variant you want to create under "Option Name" (for example: Size)
Type what the different variables are under "Option Value" (for example: "Small" and "Large")
*If using a Desktop, hit Return/Enter after each Option Value entered
*If using a Mobile Device, hit Go or tap outside the Option Value box after each Option Value is entered
(Pricing can be changed later)
Click Save (at the bottom)
The price for ALL variables will default to the price entered in the initial "Price" content box. If you want to make it so different variables have different prices, go back to the Variants section and click Edit where you want to change the price. You can then enter the price you want to set for that Variant.
Click Save again.
**Special Note - Saving Data: The product listing details area, while on the same page, is different than the area where you upload your Profile Photo and Logo. If you edit information on the Product Listing Details side, be sure to click Save before uploading a photo. If you try to add photos right after changing any product listing details, your information may be lost.
- Image Size - please try to make all images .JPEG format with a pixel size of about 1000 x 1000. If you need to compress your photos, this can either be done with the photo editor on your computer or you can CLICK HERE to do it online. (*This greatly improves our website speed if images are this size and not larger.)
- Collections: You must select at least one Collection your product falls within. Please select the least number of sub-categories as possible so as not to cause crowding in the marketplace for our customers.
> Other Arts and Other Unique Finds - Every item in the marketplace could technically fit within these options; however, they were ONLY created for items that do not fit within other Collections.
Example 1: If your product fits within the main Ceramics collection (under any sub-category), please do not select "Other Unique Finds" as well for your product already has a Collection it fits within.
Example 2: If you product fits within of the other Other Arts sub-categories (such as Glasswork or Woodwork), you would not need to select "Other Unique Finds" because your product already has a Sub Category it fits within.
- Product Handle: you can leave this blank, the product title will automatically be used for this
- Title Tag Meta Field - the title of your product page if it were to come up in a Google Search. We recommend using: "[Short Product Title], by [Shop Name] | Made By Her"
- Description Tag Meta Field - the description of your product if it were to come up in a Google Search. We recommend a brief, to the point description of your product so, if someone is just browsing, they know what it is just by reading the brief description.
- Choose HSN Code - this field is not required, you can ignore this for now
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@madebyher.com
Now, the admin/sellers can edit products in bulk. All you have to do is visit Multivendor Admin Panel > Products > Product Listing > More Actions > Add product via CSV
In method 1, you just need to upload the updated/edited CSV file. Make sure in the CSV file that you are uploading, the Product IDs are the same as that of the existing products you are trying to update. If the product IDs don’t match, the existing products will not be updated and new products will be created.

ETSY SYNC (Updated January 2023)
I have, unfortunately, confirmed that Etsy has limited accessibility to new custom apps being linked with our marketplace so we will no longer be able to allow product syncing for new members. Anyone who is already synced with Etsy should not have any issues.
*If you are a new member who signed up specifically wanting to sync with Etsy and would like to cancel your membership, please reach out to me and I can refund your payment.
MADE BY HER ARTISAN COACHING (Added December 2022)
The new Made By Her Artisan Coaching platform is HERE and, as a gift to all sellers listing in the marketplace as of December 31, 2022 for being a part of this platform as we continue to grow, I offer this to you at no cost. If you were a paying/selling artist within the marketplace before December 31, 2022 and you happened to miss the email with the coupon code, please email me at tiffany@madebyher.com and I would be happy to give it to you.
NEW PRODUCT COLLECTIONS AVAILABLE (Added October 2022)
I've just added a BUNCH of new collections that you can sort your products into along with adding a new sort feature within the marketplace. With these changes, customers can now search more specifically for what they're looking for instead of only alphabetically by product name or price.
CUSTOMER WISHLIST (Added November 2022)
Customers can now create a Wishlist (or 2 or 3) within the Made By Her Marketplace and then send it to their friends and family for upcoming special holidays for gift ideas!

Made By Her, Inc. provides a marketing and sales platform for female artists. Made By Her, Inc. provides this service under the following terms:
STANDARDS OF SERVICE
We at Made By Her want to provide you with a beautiful website and beautiful handmade items to purchase from talented female artists and artisans. We screen each of our sellers by asking for photos of their work and we ask that everyone, both buyers and sellers, be genuine and considerate in their actions while using our site. We ask that everyone has integrity, is respectful to one another, and know that we are all here because of our love of art, creativity, and making. We vow to treat all of our buyers and sellers with respect and we ask that you do the same for us.
ALL FEMALE ARTISTS WELCOME
Made By Her does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or sexual preference. We are here to support talented female makers. If you are not approved, it will only be because your work or photos do not meet our selling standards; it will have nothing to do with the color of your skin, where you come from, your political preference, or who you love. If you are a skilled artist, we want to hear from you and we expect everyone to respect one another.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS & PHOTO REPRESENTATION
All photos and descriptions of products are provided by the selling artists; Made By Her is not responsible for any information that is inaccurate or does not adequately represent the item for sale. We ask all of our sellers to accurately describe their work and take original photos of their products but if you receive an item and do not feel it was accurately described, please notify Made By Her through our contact page and we will perform a further investigation. Shipping estimates will also need to be listed in the product description.
*For Artists: if we receive more than 3 complaints that your items are not of high quality or that they are not accurately described on your selling page, your account will be suspended for one month and you will need to prove steps have been taken to correct the issue in order to have your work re-listed.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
We want to protect all artists’ intellectual property and photos. Artists on our platform must use original photos that they have full rights to use. If an artist is found to be using images stolen from an outside source and claiming them to be their own, they will no longer be allowed to sell within our marketplace. If you think your intellectual property rights are being breached, please contact Made By Her through our Contact Page and we will discuss further with you.
USE OF PHOTOS FOR MARKETING
By signing up as a seller within our online marketplace, any photos you put up on your public online booth (including your profile photo, logo, or any product listing photos) may be used for marketing purposes by our team. These marketing ads may be posted to social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), on our website to feature certain categories, or in our Google Ads. Made By Her will be the only party able to use these photos, we will not give them out to anyone else to use and, if you do not wish to have your photos used, please write to us at support@madebyher.com and we will add you to a DO NOT USE list.
PHOTO EDITING
By listing products within our online marketplace, you allow Made By Her staff to edit any photos you use in your listing including cropping, minor light adjustment, and rearrangement of photos if we feel another product photo would better represent the item listed. This will only happen on rare occasion as all artists must submit their product photos when they apply to sell with us; however, if we feel a photo at a later date is listed but does not best represent the work or the marketplace itself, it may be edited by our team.
Effective February 15, 2022, Made By Her now partners with the Artroom app and we can now apply images of paintings and other wall art to portray your work in a digitally modified room so as to give customers a better idea of what your work would look like in their space. If we feel one of these images would benefit your product listing, we may use your listing photo and apply it to one of Artroom's pre-existing rooms and add the image to your product listing. If you do not wish to have you photos used for this enhancement service, please write to us at support@madebyher.com and we will add you to a DO NOT USE list.
*These terms are only meant to enhance your product listings and the marketplace presentation. Watermarks or brand logos will never be removed from a product photo.
COMMENTS & REVIEWS
Made By Her account holders will have the ability to leave comments, reviews, or feedback of products either sold or provided by Made By Her so long as there is nothing threatening, obscene, or illegal in their remarks. It is only account holders who will have the ability to leave remarks in order for Made By Her to make sure everything stays respectful and no one may create false email addresses to create fictitious accounts.
RETURNS & REFUNDS
As a company that prides itself on the high quality of work sold within our online marketplace, as of July 11, 2022, Made By Her will be giving customers a Product Satisfaction Guarantee. What this means is, we are guaranteeing the customer will love the item they purchased and, if they don't, they can either return the item or exchange it for something different. However, we still want to respect the policies created by our sellers so, if you do not accept returns or do exchanges, Made By Her will accept the item back on your behalf and the item will go into a collection of pieces we sell at any in-person events we attend as a brand promoting the site. Here are the details:
If a customer contacts us and is not satisfied with their product, we will contact the seller first to see which of the following options they prefer:
1) Customer can return the item to the seller (customer will be responsible for return shipping costs) and get their money back (if the seller has already been paid out, we would reverse the transaction for that particular item)
2) Customer can exchange the item by returning it to the seller (customer will be responsible for return shipping costs) and seller will send back something to replace the unwanted item (seller keeps the payout for the product)
3) If the seller does not accept returns or exchanges, Made By Her will accept the item back on their behalf (seller keeps the payout for the product), and the item will get added to our event collection which will be sold by us at any in-person event and we will keep any payments received for the item sold in person.
**There will be limitations to the above return options. If a seller does not accept returns but customers want to return more than 3 orders from their booth within one year's time, OR the return item amount exceeds $500, and the seller still does not want to accept returns at that time, they will unfortunately be unable to sell within our marketplace anymore unless they start accepting returns.

As for estimated shipping times, it will vary by product as some items have already been made and others are made to order, but sellers will be required to follow the below shipping time tables:
- Already made items should ship within 7 business days*
- Made to order or custom order items could take 2-4 weeks to ship depending on the detail of the order
Customers will need to refer to the product page or contact the booth owner to see how long shipping will take if it is not already listed. ARTISTS MUST LIST THEIR ESTIMATED SHIPPING TIMES IN EACH PRODUCT DESCRIPTION so the customer can anticipate how long they will need to wait before making their purchase.
(*Note to sellers - if you are in violation of our shipping policy and an order does not ship within 7 days of purchase, and it was not disclosed in your product description at the time of purchase, then the order may be cancelled. If an order is cancelled due to non-responsiveness, your booth will be suspended until we hear from you and confirm you are still selling on our platform. If it happens a second time, Made By Her holds the right to close your online booth permanently.)
