Vendors can input/add products directly from their vendor portal. It can be manual input on the Catalog menu or using bulk tools to input many products at once. All products that are added by the vendor will be reviewed and approved by the user admin to make them enabled in the public catalog.


Create Product

To create a product manually: 
1. Go to Catalog > Products, click Create button.

  • Image: Attachment for product picture. You can add more than 1 picture here.


3. Click Save button to save the product.




Product Bulk Tools

Vendors can use bulk tools to add or update many products at once using a CSV file. This will save more time and reduce the error when doing manual input. To upload data using product bulk tools, here is the guide:

1. Go to Vendor > Product Bulk Tools menu.
2. On the Bulk Type, there are 10 options of bulk action you can choose to upload:
  • Product Master Upload: To upload new products/product master to catalog.

  • Product Configurable Upload: To upload configurable products to the catalog.

  • Product Simplify Upload: To upload simplify products to the catalog.

  • Assign Product Category Upload: To assign product category using a CSV file.

  • Product Stock Upload: To upload product stock to the catalog.

3. For all of those bulk actions, we have provided a template for a CSV file that the vendor can use to edit and upload to the product bulk tools form. The template can be downloaded by clicking on the Download the Sample CSV 


while the tutorial for each bulk action is available under the tutorial link as below:


4. Open the template you have downloaded earlier on any supported application then add your data as needed. Please note that this action requires a comma-separated value on the CSV file. The first row is the column/field name and below it are the product data.

For example if you want to upload product master to the catalog:

sku,product.attribute_set,name,description,product.type,status,visibility,tax_class_id,price,stock.qty
X9HC01,Default,"DEMINERALIZED WATER 1000L","Demineralize water 1000 L",Simple,Enabled,"Catalog, Search","Taxable Goods",1300000,10
5. Select the file you have edited earlier by clicking on the Choose File button and click Submit to upload the file.
