Getting started with ListoMax

1.1You have a licence

In the Activate tab, type the email address you used to buy it and the licence key you received by email (format LMAX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX), then click Activate my licence.

1.2You want to try it first

Open the Free trial tab, then click Start free trial.

The trial gives you 5 real publications on your real stores, with no credit card. One listing counts as one publication, even when it is sent to several stores.

1.3The setup assistant

The first time, an assistant sums up the three steps: connect your store, create your first product, then publish it. Follow it with Start, or close it with Skip the wizard: this guide covers the same steps.

1.4The home screen

The left-hand menu gives access to every screen. At the top right, + New product opens an empty form from anywhere.

2.1Open the connections

Click CMS connections in the left-hand menu, then PrestaShop or WooCommerce.

2.2PrestaShop: the Webservice key

1. In the PrestaShop back office: Advanced Parameters → Webservice. Enable the web service, then create a key with all permissions (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
2. In ListoMax: + Add a PrestaShop shop, give it a name, paste the store address without a trailing “/” and the key.
3. Click Test connection, then Save.

2.3WooCommerce: the REST API key

1. In WordPress: WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API, then Add key.
2. Choose the Read/Write permissions and click Generate API key.
3. Copy the consumer key (starts with ck_) and the consumer secret (starts with cs_) into ListoMax.

2.4Need help with the key?

The Help & documentation screen in the software explains these steps one by one, for each CMS.

3.1Name and descriptions

Click + New product. The Full mode button shows every field (short description, SEO, FAQ, features); Quick mode keeps the essentials.

Only the name is required. The quality score, on the right, shows what is missing for a complete listing.

3.2Price, reference and stock

Enter the reference (SKU), the price and the quantity in stock. ListoMax works out the price including tax from the VAT rate you choose.

3.3Other languages

The language tabs let you write the listing in 8 languages. They are published according to the store’s languages: every active language on PrestaShop, a single one on WooCommerce.

With your own AI key, the ✨ Generate in … button writes the chosen language from the listing you have already entered (see chapter 6). Check it before publishing.

3.4Choose the stores and publish

At the bottom of the form, tick the destination stores, then click Publish now.

• Save draft keeps the listing in ListoMax without sending it.
• If a store already has a product with the same reference, ListoMax offers to update it instead of creating a second one.

3.5Preview

Preview shows the listing as it will appear, on desktop and on mobile, before anything is sent.

4.1Open the Series

Fill in the product name and price, then click Prepare a series. Choose the attribute that varies: colour, size, material…

4.2Add the values

Type the values separated by commas (for example White, Black, Navy blue), then Enter. The preview on the right already shows the name of each listing.

4.3Translate the values

Fill in automatically translates common colours, materials and sizes into the other languages. It never overwrites what you have typed, and leaves empty what it does not know.

Pre-filled fields are highlighted: check them, then click Create the series.

4.4For real: published on a store

A Series of four colours, with one photo per colour and a sale, published on a real PrestaShop demo store. Then the same store, seen by a customer: one listing per colour, crossed-out price and sale price.

5.1My products

The list of all your listings, with the store where each one is published. Click a row to reopen the listing in the form, edit it and publish it again.

5.2Stock

The Stock tab spots products that are out of stock or nearly so. A quantity changed here updates the listing in ListoMax: publish it again to update the store.

5.3Dashboard

The number of listings created and published, the errors to fix and recent activity, at a glance.

5.4Import a CSV or Excel file

Download the CSV template or the Excel template, fill in one row per product, then drag the file into the box.

tags column: separate with a comma or with |. images column: separate the addresses with |.

5.5Settings: licence and language

Here you see the status of your licence and choose the software’s language among 8.

Changing computer? Deactivate this machine releases the seat: you can then activate the licence on the new PC. An Internet connection is needed for this.

5.6Artificial intelligence (optional)

ListoMax works fully without AI. To turn on the “✨” buttons, paste your own Anthropic key here: chapter 6 explains what it does and how to get one.

6.1Get your AI key

1. Create an account on console.anthropic.com (Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI).
2. In Billing, add a little credit: a few euros are enough to start.
3. In API Keys, click Create Key and copy the key (it starts with sk-ant-).
4. In ListoMax: Settings → Artificial Intelligence, paste the key, click Test key, then Save.

6.2How much does it cost?

The key is not sold by ListoMax: it is your Anthropic account, and you only pay for what you use, directly to Anthropic. A generated listing usually costs a few cents.

The key is stored on your computer and is only used to talk to Anthropic. You can delete it at any time in the settings; the rest of the software keeps working.
