Quick Start Guide

5 minutes to your first image

This guide walks you through setting up ListingRVA AI and generating your first AI product image. No coding required for the dashboard flow — the API reference covers programmatic access.

Step 1 — Create your account

  1. Sign up at listingrvaai.com
    Go to app.listingrvaai.com/signup and create your account with email or Google. No credit card required for the free plan.
  2. Choose a plan
    Pick Starter (150 credits/mo), Growth (600 credits/mo), or Pro (1,500 credits/mo). You can start with Starter and upgrade anytime — unused credits carry forward on upgrade.
  3. Complete onboarding
    The onboarding wizard asks about your primary platform and product category. This pre-configures default image styles and listing copy rules for your store type.

Step 2 — Connect your store platform

ListingRVA AI integrates with 7 e-commerce platforms. You can connect multiple platforms from Settings → Integrations.

Shopify
WooCommerce
Amazon
Flipkart
Etsy
BigCommerce
Magento

For detailed per-platform setup instructions see the Platform Integrations guide. For Shopify the quickest path is the OAuth app install — you'll be redirected back with the connection confirmed.

Platform connections are optional for image generation. You only need a connected store to use Push to Store (auto-publish images) or Sync Products (import your catalog).

Step 3 — Upload your first product

  1. Go to Studio
    In the dashboard, click Studio in the sidebar. This is where all image generation and listing copy tasks live.
  2. Create a new product
    Click New Product and fill in the product name, category, and description. Upload at least one raw product photo — a clean white-background or flat-lay shot works best.
  3. Or import from your store
    If you've connected a platform, click Import from Store to pull your product catalog directly — no manual entry needed.
For best results upload a 1:1 or 4:3 ratio image with the product centred and well-lit. The AI removes backgrounds automatically, so any background works.

Step 4 — Generate your first image

  1. Open the product in Studio
    Select your product and click Generate Images. You'll see the 16 image style cards.
  2. Pick a style
    Start with Hero / White BG (4 credits) — it's the most universally useful for any platform. Each card shows its credit cost and a sample output.
  3. Choose output size and variants
    Select the number of variants (1–4) and output resolution. Default is 1000×1000px (no surcharge). Larger sizes add surcharges: 1200px +1cr, 1500px +2cr, 2000px +3cr per image.
  4. Submit and wait
    Click Generate. Image jobs complete in 20–60 seconds. You'll see a live progress indicator. When done, the images appear in your Assets library.

Step 5 — Export or push to your store

Once images are generated you have two options:

Download / Export

Go to Assets and select images to download. You can export individual files or a ZIP archive of multiple images. The export ZIP API is also available for automation — see the API reference.

Push to Store

If you have a platform connected, use Push to Store to publish images directly to your product listing — no downloading and re-uploading required. Select the product, choose which images to push, and confirm. The push runs in the background and reports success or errors via the dashboard notification.

Push to Store requires a connected platform. See Platform Integrations for setup steps.

Next step — Generate listing copy

After images, generate platform-optimized listing copy for the same product. Go to Studio → Listing Copy, select your product and target platform, and click Generate. The AI writes a title, bullet points, description, and ad copy following each platform's character limits and style rules.

Copy generation costs 6–10 credits per platform per product depending on the platform (Amazon 10cr, Flipkart 9cr, Shopify/Etsy/WooCommerce/BigCommerce 8cr, General 6cr). You can generate for multiple platforms in one session.

Automate with the REST API

Everything you can do in the dashboard is also available via the REST API on the Pro plan. Generate your API key at Settings → API Keys, then make your first call:

# List your products curl https://api.listingrvaai.com/v1/products \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lor_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx" # Trigger image generation curl -X POST https://api.listingrvaai.com/v1/images/generate \ -H "Authorization: Bearer lor_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "product_id": "prod_xxxx", "style": "hero_white_bg", "variants": 2 }'

See the full REST API Reference for all endpoints, request schemas, and response examples.

Understanding credits

Credits are consumed per operation. Your plan renews monthly and resets to the plan allowance. Unused credits do not carry forward at renewal — but if you upgrade mid-cycle, your current balance is preserved.

Top-up credit packs (Small 100cr, Medium 500cr, Large 1000cr) never expire and can be purchased at any time from Billing.

For the full credit cost table see the Credits & Billing guide.
