How do I create a product on Lid?

From Idea to Sales in Minutes: How to Publish Your First Product on Lid

You have set up your profile. Now comes the exciting part: launching your product.

Whether you are selling a digital art pack, an online course, or a music album, Lid makes the process incredibly fast. We have removed the technical barriers so you can focus on what matters—your work.

Here is how to upload, customize, and publish your digital product in 3 simple phases.

Getting Started

Once logged into your profile, look for the "Create" icon (the plus symbol) located in the main navigation bar. Click it to open the Creator Studio.

Phase 1: Upload & Design

This is where you define what you are selling. You have powerful tools at your fingertips:

1. Product Image (The Cover) You have two options here:

• Upload my file: Use your own image from your computer or phone.

• Create with Lina AI: Don't have a cover design yet? No problem. Simply type a prompt (e.g., "A futuristic cyberpunk dragon") and our built-in AI, Lina, will generate a unique cover image for you in seconds. Bonus: Lina can also suggest a product name and description for you.

2. The Essentials Fill in the Basic Details: the name of your product and a description that tells buyers why they need it. You can also add a Custom URL if you want to link to an external landing page.

3. Categorize It Help people find your work by selecting 1 to 3 Tags such as Art, Education, Music, Gaming, or Photography.

4. Add Your Content Upload the actual files your buyers will receive. You can attach up to 10 files (videos, PDFs, audio, images) with a total size of 2GB.

5. Pricing & Availability

• Set your Price: Enter the amount in USDC (Digital Dollar).

• Set Limits (Optional): You can define a Maximum Supply (total items available) or leave it empty for unlimited sales. You can also set a Purchase Limit to restrict how many times one person can buy the same item.

6. Revenue Sharing (Optional) Collaborating with another creator? The Creator Wallet Distribution section lets you add up to 10 different accounts and set automatic percentage splits (e.g., 50% for you, 50% for your partner). Lid handles the payments automatically!.

Phase 2: Preview & Publish

Before going live, you will see a summary screen.

• Review: Check that your title, description, and files are correct.

• Fees: You will see a transparent breakdown of the small setup fee.

• Launch: Click "Publish Product".

Note: You can choose to publish immediately or Schedule for later if you want to coordinate with a specific launch time.

Phase 3: Complete

Once the system processes your request, you will see the "Product Published Successfully!" screen.

Your product is now live on the blockchain and ready to be sold globally. You can click "View" to see it in your store or "Publish Another Product" to keep building your catalog.
