❯ Creating a product from scratch

Follow these steps to create your product:

Log in to your Hotmart account at https://app.hotmart.com. If you don’t have an account yet, create one following these steps.
In the sidebar menu, click on Products and then My products.
In the upper right corner, click + Create product.

On the next screen, choose the format for your product.

❯ Adding information to your product

After selecting the product format, you’ll be redirected to a new page. Complete the required fields under Information:

Product name: Enter a name for your product.
Description: Provide a detailed description for buyers (at least 200 characters).
Product image: Upload an image in JPG, PNG, or GIF format (maximum size of 5 MB).
Additional information: Choose the product's language, category, and market segment.

If you’re adding a Physical product, you’ll also need to provide additional details such as the category, weight, dimensions, shipping origin address, and shipping rules. For more information, see this article. Remember that this option is only available in Brazil.

Once you’ve completed these fields, click Continue.

❯ Setting your product’s price

In the Pricing tab, you may encounter two different scenarios, depending on the product format you are creating.

If your product is a Subscription or Community, you will need to set up a payment plan for recurring payments, specifying the price, payment frequency, and available payment methods. For more details, check the subscription guide or the community guide.

However, if you are creating any other product format, you will need to define the following financial aspects:

Currency: Select the currency in which your product will be sold.
Guarantee period: Set the time frame for customers to request a refund (7, 15, 21, or 30 days).
Payment method: Choose between a one-time payment, installments with fees, or installments without fees for the buyer. If you choose installments, specify the maximum number allowed.
Currency conversion: Decide whether to enable currency conversion for international sales.

After filling out all the fields, click Continue or Save and continue, depending on the product type you are creating.

❯ Completing the creation process

Finally, make sure all your information in the Personal information tab is complete. This step is essential for completing your product creation. If you have any questions about filling out your data, see this article.

Once everything is complete, go to the Panel tab and click the Submit product button located at the bottom right of the page. By clicking this button, you confirm that you agree to Hotmart’s Personal Data Processing Policy.

After submitting your product, your product will go through a verification process, which usually takes around 15 minutes, though in some cases, it can take up to one business day. Once approved, your product will be ready for sale.

If any inconsistencies are found during verification, you will receive a notification. Check this article to understand the possible reasons and how to resolve them.

How to complete other product setups?

In most cases, the steps described above are sufficient to submit your product for approval. However, some product formats require additional configurations to ensure everything works properly.

To help you with this, we’ve prepared comprehensive guides that explain both mandatory and optional configurations for product types with specific needs. This way, you have all the necessary information in one place.

Check the guides below for detailed instructions based on your product type:
