# Add an electronic / physical product to your catalog

## Overview

Whether you add electronic or physical/tangible goods to your catalog to sell and deliver to your customers, the process is the same. You need to use the [2Checkout Control Panel](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel) to define the details of your product. For physical products, you need to define the weight and the handling fees associated with your tangible products.

## Availability

Selling physical goods is available upon request. Contact [2Checkout](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel/contact_us_search.php) for additional details.

## Requirements

Make sure to have the [mandatory physical product info](/product-catalog/product-catalog/products-with-physical-delivery/mandatory-physical-product-info.md) on hand.

## Set up an electronic/physical product

To add a product (either electronic or physical) to your catalog, log in to your [2Checkout Control Panel](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel).
