The one exception: if you use AI-generated graphics, your portfolio needs approval **before** you publish, per the [Marketplace Regulations](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/marketplace-regulations-lokpoy/). Your shop still won't sell anything until you configure and activate it. This is the whole path, in order. --- ## Part 1 — Apply **Account → Marketplace settings → Apply now.** 1. **Complete the Vendor Application form.** Opening an account is free, but **filling in the form is mandatory** — an incomplete application means your Marketplace can be closed. 2. Read [Regulament Printoteca Marketplace](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/marketplace-regulations-lokpoy/) (the marketplace rules) and the [Sellers Guide](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/sellers-guide-en-bmn9g7/). > These two documents carry the actual rules — commission, what you may and may not sell, how payouts work. Read them before ticking **"Done, I read it"**. 3. Click **Submit**. 4. Tick the terms and conditions checkbox, then click **Create Marketplace**. --- ## Part 2 — Configure before you go live > **Check your shop's Active/Inactive state right after creation, and don't leave it live before you've configured your landing page and uploaded some products** — an empty shop that's live is worse than one that isn't. --- ## Part 3 — Configure the landing page > **The Marketplace is multilingual.** You have to configure **both the English and the Romanian** pages. You can use different titles for each — they don't have to be translations of one another. For each language: 1. **Enter your marketplace description** in the text area. 2. **Upload your marketplace logo.** 3. **Fill in the contact details.** The **email is mandatory** — it's how customers reach you. The phone number is optional and can be removed. 4. Click **Save**. To switch language, use the **EN / RON lei** dropdown, select **RO – Romanian**, click **Apply**, and fill in the Romanian description. Click **Salvează**. --- ## Part 4 — Make products visible and price them Scroll down to the product settings area. Products you've already configured as sellable on the marketplace show up in this list. > Not every product and colour is available for marketplace selling. Look for the **"Available for Marketplace"** tag, or filter for **Base products** when creating. For each product you can: * **Set the visibility.** * **Change the title.** > ⚠️ **If you change the title in English, you must change it in Romanian too.** Save, switch to Romanian, then change the title there. Otherwise one language shows the old title. * **Set the price.** > Take your commission into account. **The displayed price includes taxes.** The difference between your selling price and our cost is your margin — after taxes. * **Edit the product options** (colour and size) with the options button. It's the same pop-up you saw when you first configured the product. You can add or remove colours later. * Use the **settings button** to open a fuller configuration page — adding a label, setting a brand. * **Mark the product as visible on the front page** if you want it featured. After each change, click **Save**. > A product left un-ticked as **Visible** will not be displayed on your marketplace page, no matter how well it's configured. --- ## Part 5 — Preview, then activate Use **Preview** to see the shop as a customer would. When you're happy with it, activate the Marketplace. --- **See also:** [Sellers Guide](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/sellers-guide-en-bmn9g7/) · [How to start a Print on Demand partnership](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/how-to-start-a-print-on-demand-partnership-cd6wdv/) · [Manage your Credits & Sales](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/manage-your-credits-sales-1bt0clc/) · [Configure your POD brand](https://help.printoteca.ro/en/article/configure-your-pod-brand-1pqfnix/)
