I have two questions:
1. Do you have to add a readme file for product to sell on marketplace?

2. If so is there a template that I can use?

Thanks for any help.

I put a readme file in my package, to my knowledge it is not obligatory but I recommend adding one.
The content differs depending on the type of production, if it is a 3D model package, a sound file, a package for daz.
You can get inspired by downloading a free product of the same type!

A Read Me should be a .txt file and should include the following
Product NameCopyright
A short description of what the asset is can be a good idea
System Requirements

Assets required (often what characters will it work with)
How to install it
Where to find the asset
Any important notes
Usage notes if you want to include them
My free posehttps://www.renderhub.com/bikdingle/jack-o-challenge-pose-for-genesis-8-femaleHas a readme structured like this
I use a big chunk of the readme in my product description.  I leave out the usage and copyright in the description.  When I do that, the meter which tells you how good your description is reaches into the 90% range.  Also recently people have said they would like to know how to find the asset and including that in the description page is desirable so it's a good idea to include that.

Although everything has already been said (a readme.txt should always be in the "Documentation" folder - or outside it), you can of course also use the product description to provide important information.

In my projects, for example, I put the entire "Files" list (i.e. the list of all folders and files) in addition to brief information. If you like, you can take a look at it.

I dont add them into my products, any important information goes in the descriptions of my products, though generally poses shouldnt be that difficult to find and is enough just in the description
