What we need from you

Product information, made simple.

Clear information helps us present your products professionally and lets the website calculate delivery accurately at checkout.

simple photos.

Please use portrait images where possible. Photograph the product against a white or uncluttered background, with good natural light and the whole product clearly visible.

No file size limit

The website automatically optimises images during the upload process.

Keep the frame simple

One product should be clearly visible without unnecessary distractions around it.
