Listing Templates

Listing Templates let you define reusable configurations for channel listings. Instead of manually filling in the same fields for every product you list on a channel, you create a template once and apply it to many products.

What Listing Templates Do​

A listing template stores:

  • Channel-specific settings (e.g., Shopify collection, eBay category)
  • Default title and description formats (with variable substitution)
  • Pricing rules (e.g., add 10% markup over Newclear price)
  • Shipping and return policies (for eBay, Walmart)
  • Item specifics and required attributes

Templates are applied when listing a product, pre-filling all the template fields automatically.

Creating a Listing Template​

  1. Go to Channel Listings → Templates
  2. Click + New Template
  3. Select the Channel this template is for (Shopify, eBay, Amazon, etc.)
  4. Give the template a Name (e.g., "eBay Used Furniture" or "Shopify Electronics")

Template Fields​

General​

  • Template Name — Internal name for organization
  • Channel — Which channel this applies to
  • Default Status — Active or Draft when applied

Define how the listing title is generated using variable substitution:

  • {name} — Product name
  • {sku} — Product SKU

Pricing Rules​

Applying a Template to a Product​

Single Product​

  1. Open a product
  2. Click List on [Channel]
  3. In the listing setup modal, click Apply Template
  4. Select your template from the dropdown
  5. All template fields are pre-filled
  6. Modify any fields as needed for this specific product
  7. Click Publish

Bulk Listing with Template​

  1. On the Products List, select multiple products
  2. Bulk Actions → List on [Channel]
  3. Select a template to apply to all
  4. Confirm

Editing a Template​

  1. Go to Channel Listings → Templates
  2. Click the template to open it
  3. Make changes
  4. Click Save
note

Editing a template does not retroactively update existing listings that used the template. Templates are applied at listing creation time only. To update existing listings, you need to edit them individually or re-list using the updated template.

Template Best Practices​

  • Create one template per product type per channel (e.g., "Shopify Sofas", "eBay Electronics Refurbished")
  • Use title variables to ensure consistent, keyword-rich listing titles
  • Set pricing rules with a small markup to account for channel fees
  • Keep description templates clean and use {description} to pull in the Newclear product description automatically
