To be able to sell your products on CopeCart, you must select the correct product type. Your product must comply with CopeCart's guidelines, otherwise it will be blocked. Your product must not violate any laws or legal regulations. It must also not endanger the health and safety of persons.

This step-by-step guide will show you how to create your product and what you need to bear in mind.

The vendor is responsible for selecting the correct product type.

Administrative and support services

Administrative and support services encompass a range of activities that assist businesses in running efficiently. These services include office administration, hiring and staffing, clerical work, security services, cleaning, and other support functions essential for the smooth operation of an organization. Their goal is to enhance productivity by handling routine tasks, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities.

Products

Physical products are tangible items that can be touched, handled, and stored. Unlike digital products, physical products require manufacturing, shipping, and storage, and they are delivered to customers through various distribution channels.

Digital products

Digital products are intangible goods that are delivered and accessed electronically. These include software, e-books, online courses, music, videos, graphics, and other digital content. Unlike physical products, digital products can be downloaded or streamed instantly, often providing immediate access and convenience to the buyer.

Professional services

Professional services refer to specialized, expert services provided by individuals or firms with extensive knowledge and skills in a particular field. These services include legal advice, accounting, consulting, engineering, marketing, and IT services. They are typically offered by professionals such as lawyers, accountants, consultants, and engineers who use their expertise to support businesses and individuals in achieving their goals and solving specific problems.

Clothing

Clothing refers to garments worn on the body to cover, protect, and adorn it. This includes items such as shirts, pants, dresses, coats, and accessories like hats and scarves. Clothing products are not permitted on CopeCart unless they are offered as add-on merchandise for another product. For example, a commemorative t-shirt for an event would be acceptable.
