Products created via your ShineOn Account are created on Etsy as draft listings. You will then need to add some details to the listing on Etsy before publishing it.
This guide will run through how to do all of that.
This guide assumes you have already created a ShineOn product before and are familiar with the process. if you haven't - check out this guide.
Parts to this guide:
