NOTE: Before you begin Building Products, be sure you read Step 2. Decide how you want to build products. Skipping this step could result in additional hours of setup time.
Build Products using a CSV file
If you have a spreadsheet containing all of your product information/data, you can import it by running a Product CSV Import. You will likely need to convert your spreadsheet to Sellbrite's format, which doesn't take long. Learn more here
If you choose to build your product catalog using a CSV Import, you will still need to run a listing import from your sales channels. This will ensure that the listings in your account are linked to the Products in your catalog.
Build Products by running a Listing Import
Using a listing import to build your products is recommended, especially since not all merchants have a master spreadsheet containing all the products they want to list using Sellbrite. To build your products this way, select the channel you'd like to build your products from. Sellbrite will import your Listings from that channel, and then create a Product in Sellbrite based on the information in the Listing. Sellbrite will also identify the quantity listed on the channel and add inventory to the Products.
Some things to consider:
Begin with the channel that has the most accurate quantities and the highest number of products (SKUs).
Take into account the limitations of each channel. While some channels provide ample data from your listings, others have restrictions. Here's the recommended order for ease of product building:
Best:
BigCommerce
WooCommerce
Good:
eBay
Walmart
Shopify (Shopify does not have Parent SKUs, so Sellbrite will assign any Parent SKUs a randomized alphanumeric SKU)
Some limitations:
Etsy (If any Etsy listings are missing SKUs, they will be assigned a randomized alphanumeric SKU by Sellbrite.)
Significant limitations:
Amazon (Builds with limited data and images. Learn more here)
FBA Limitations:
If you have FBA enabled and your FBA products have an available quantity, Amazon will automatically create these products in Sellbrite using the SKU listed in FBA.
If you choose to "Import Out of Stock Products" while enabling FBA, Amazon will generate any out-of-stock FBA products in Sellbrite with a quantity of 0 and allocate them to the FBA warehouse.
Building your products for the first time
During the setup of your Sellbrite account, Step 2 requires you to create inventory based on the listings imported during Step 1. Select the channel you'd like to build from and click "Build Products."
