Groupon Marketplace Listings Management

Overview

Once you are integrated with Groupon Marketplace, you can manage updates of the products posted on the channel directly from the Sellercloud interface. Product changes can be pushed either manually or automatically.

In addition, Sellercloud allows you to update individual and multiple products via file import. Prior to updating a product on Groupon Marketplace, it must be enabled for that channel.
