Hi!

I’m new to [Pling.com](http://Pling.com) and want to start publishing themes for various applications. But when I go to my store backend, I see two different product types: products and listings. What is the difference between these two things?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sincerely,  
Connor

Hi,  
As far as I understand, a product can be thought of a single entity or pattern in mind, whereas a listing is a structure made of multiple products. (for example: [Listing](https://www.pling.com/c/2011832))
