No spam. Just the future of easier selling for makers.
Every seller eventually builds a rhythm for listing products, but the useful steps stay much the same: photograph, add the important details, review, and publish.
This guide walks through that process with DistroBay, from an ordinary phone photo to a beautiful listing ready for your shops.
You keep the judgement that makes the product yours. DistroBay handles the image, first draft, and uploads, so your time goes into a quick review instead of starting from nothing.
How to turn a product photo into a listing
Photograph the product
Take one or more clear, well-lit photos. Natural light and a plain background work well, but phone photos in imperfect light are fine too.
Add it to DistroBay
Add one or more photos of the product. Choose the angles that best show its shape, finish, and important details.
Add a short note
Write a sentence or two about materials, size, and what makes the product special — anything a customer would ask about in person.
Review the finished photo
Check the improved lighting and background. Make sure the product itself remains accurate, and use a different photo if anything looks off.
Review and edit the listing
Read the title, description, and tags, then adjust the wording, price, or product details so everything is accurate and sounds like you.
Put it in your shops
Send the finished listing where you sell, check the final preview, and publish when you're ready.
Frequently asked questions
What if my photo doesn't have great lighting?
DistroBay can improve lighting and clean up the background of an ordinary phone photo, so it doesn't need to be perfect. The product should still be clear and in focus.
How much detail should I put in my note?
A sentence or two covering materials, size, and anything special is usually enough — you can always add more detail while editing the draft.
Can I do this for multiple products in one session?
Yes — batch uploading photos for several products in one sitting is a common workflow, especially after a market-prep or studio session.
