Bing Product Upload (codenamed Agora, formerly Windows Live Product Upload and Live Search Product Upload) was part of Microsoft's Bing search engine. It enables online shoppers using Bing Shopping to find easily find merchant's products.

Product Upload helps merchants to upload their product catalogs in either text or XML file formats. It support bulk uploads using FTP and browser-based uploads using HTTP. After the products are uploaded, they will become visible to online shoppers using Bing Shopping. Shoppers will be able to view prices, descriptions, and product images, and a direct link to the merchant's website to purchase their products. Merchants will require a Windows Live ID to log in and sign up.

Bing Product Upload was discontinued on 15 May 2009.
