This study proposes quantum secret sharing protocols using product states. The first two protocols adopt the quantum key distribution protocol using product states [ Guo et al. Phys. Rev. A 64 042301 (2001)]. In these two protocols, the sender does not reveal any information about the qutrits until confirming that each receiver has received a qutrit. This study also considers the security and some possible eavesdropping strategies. In the third proposed protocol, three-level Bell states are exploited for qutrit preparation via nonlocality swapping.
