Determine what to register

You must provide information for each product that you want to certify. If your product has multiple models, register each model version separately. For example, if you have two light bulbs that share the same lumens but have different model numbers, register each of them as separate products.

However, don't register true product variations separately. For example, if you have two light bulbs that have different colors and quantity (multi-packs) but the same model number, register them as one product. You can request a WWA badge for each variant after you submit your product for certification. For details about variations, see Variation Relationships Overview.

You can include a hub when you register your product. For example, if your light bulbs connect to Alexa through your smart hub, register your light bulb on the Product page and select Local control (Hub) as the connection type on the Services page. Submit your hub configuration on the Setup page. If your product receives WWA certification, your hub also receives certification. Don't register or submit the hub independently. If you already submitted your product for certification, please re-register your product to add the hub information, and then resubmit your product for certification.

If you plan to certify a product for multiple marketplaces or with multiple hubs, register the product one time. You can specify the marketplaces when you submit your product for certification.
