Try this:

def sell(request):
     if request.method == 'POST':

          form = ProductsForm(request.POST)

          if form.is_valid():
              print('form is valid')

              form.save()
              return redirect('home')

     else:
         form = ProductsForm()
         return render(request, 'sell/products_form.html', {'form': form})
