Quick Start Guide

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. New accounts start with 50 free credits and no credit card.
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.

Signing in

You can sign in to app.listingrvaai.com in two ways: with your email and password, or with Google. The login page marks the method you used last on that browser with a Last used tag.

Enter your email and password and complete the CAPTCHA, then type the 6-digit code we email you. The code is valid for 5 minutes, so your account stays protected even if someone learns your password.

Click Sign in with Google and choose your Google account. If you first signed up with email, signing in with Google using the same email address links the two, and you can use either method from then on.

Click Forgot password? on the login page and enter your email. We send a reset link that works for 1 hour, and you can request a new one every 5 minutes. Setting a new password signs you out on all devices, so sign back in with the new one.

Go to Settings → Change Password, enter your current password, then the new one twice. Changing it signs out your other devices and keeps you signed in on this one. Accounts created with Google see a Signed in with Google card there instead, because Google manages their sign-in.

Step 2, Connect your store platform

ListingRVA AI integrates with 6 e-commerce platforms, and Flipkart is coming soon. You can connect multiple platforms from Settings → Integrations.

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.

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.

Step 4, Generate your first image

1. Open the product in Studio

   Select your product and click Generate Images. You'll see the 20+ 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 to 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 to 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:

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.

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.

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 keywords following each platform's character limits and style rules.

Copy generation costs 6 to 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:

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.
