Important Reminders
- When you create one title listing, you can use that information (authors, product description, etc.) in a new title listing and auto-fill the necessary information if it is similar.
- You can always toggle a title from Private > Public and Public > Private. This will not change the original date your title was activated, this cannot be changed once a product is made Public.
- Once you publish your title listing to the public, make sure that the thumbnail of your cover is available. We want to make sure that your cover looks good as well, so covers with black text over a white background might not be the best choice.
- Choose category filters that fit your title best. These categories and subcategories will help filter your title to be found in searches.
- You may not include most offsite links or URLs in the product description. If you have questions, please contact the DMsGuild Partner Relations representative.
- You can set a title to launch at a future date using the "Date product should be available for sale" feature. The title does not have to launch immediately.
- Limit the amount of products you make public to 3 titles per 24 hour period. Our homepage ribbons are limited to 3 new products per partner per 24 hour period, so submitting more than that limits the amount of visibility your title listing will receive.
- Once a product listing has been created it cannot be deleted at this time. Please be sure you're ready to create your product listing and follow the process to completion before starting a new title. This includes bundles, private products, and print options.
