Submit Product: Click on this icon when you are ready to upload your product. Once you submit, your product will be checked for content originality.

  • The system verifies content originality by searching for duplicate and AI-created content. Once you submit your product, it goes through these inspections before reaching our team for review. 
  • You’ll first see a “checking” status following submission, which will subsequently become “rejection” or “pending”. The system doesn’t account for descriptions within the Teach Simple marketplace in case you have a series of similar products. This mechanism speeds up approvals due to fewer edits needed on all submissions.
  • If your product does not meet requirements, it will be rejected for you to revise and resubmit.
  • If all requirements are met, it will then appear on your My Product page ready to be approved.
