Publish products to your marketplace
Publish Ready products in the background: what gets written to Inventory, how listings reach the marketplace, and where to track success or failures.
Publish your Ready products
The publish button — Publish N Ready Products to [your marketplace] — sits at the bottom of the review queue (and as the AI Import wizard's final step). It appears as soon as at least one product is Ready. Click it and you'll see: "Publishing N rows. This runs in the background."
What publishing does
- Each Ready product becomes a real product in your Inventory — title, description, price, SKU, quantity, the matched category, extracted attributes, marketplace defaults and any AI SEO copy.
- Product images are downloaded from their source URLs into your media library, so listings don't depend on external image hosting staying alive.
- The batch is handed to the marketplace — listings are created (or updated, if the product already exists there) through the marketplace's own feed/API pipeline.
Following progress
- The queue's Published tab fills as products go through.
- The bell notification "Product publish finished" tells you the outcome — "N product(s) published to your marketplace", with a failure count if anything went wrong.
- The marketplace card's progress bar on the Dashboard reflects the new Published share.
If a product fails to publish
It returns to Needs Review with a "Last publish error" banner quoting the marketplace's response — fix the flagged field and publish again. Publishing is incremental: only Ready products are sent, so you can publish in waves as you review.
