Launch Channel Listings


Overview

In Sellercloud, you can easily list your products across various different channels all from one place.

In order to list a product on your chosen retail channel, it must be enabled for that channel and ready to post.

To enable a product, you need to:

  • Access the Product’s Details > Toolbox > Select the Channel > General Settings (if applicable) > Check Channel Enabled

To disable a product, you can simply uncheck the box. Or, alternatively, go to the Manage Inventory page and select Enable/Disable for Channel from the Action Menu which can be used as a bulk action and will allow you to update multiple products simultaneously.

Ready products for posting

Some channels have specific requirements when posting or updating a listing. You need to make sure that your products are ready for posting before you launch them on different channels. This means entering the minimum information required by the channel for listing a product.

While preparing your products for posting, you can also set up a description template for your listings.

CHANNEL LISTING SPECIFICATIONS
Amazon
  • When updating Amazon listings, you must manually update the pricing. AmazonPricesUpdateService must be installed on your server and the Amazon setting Allow Price Update (Regular) must be enabled.
  • When searching for Posted and Active Amazon listings in Sellercloud, the search results return listings that are on the Amazon Active Listing Report. Sellercloud periodically runs a service that looks at products on the reports and marks them as Posted and Active, etc. Therefore, you may have products that have been recently posted but will not be included in the Posted and Active search results.
When bulk editing Amazon listings from the Manage Inventory page, you can use the action Edit Values to edit listings manually. When changing specific details, use Edit Amazon Details. To edit multiple listings, use the Bulk Edit option.
Overstock
  • Unlike most other channels, Sellercloud doesn’t send automatic price updates to Overstock. Overstock is a first party relationship and does not allow dropshippers to change the price as they like. Prices need to be approved by the buyer at Overstock. You can submit the price that you are willing to sell it for to Overstock but ultimately they control the prices displayed to the end consumer.
  • To update listings, select Revise Inventory from the Action Menu on the product’s Overstock Properties Page.
Pricefalls
  • After the products are ready for Pricefalls, they will automatically upload to Pricefalls with the regular inventory upload. Likewise, Using the action Post to Pricefalls and Update on Pricefalls will not generate an upload to Pricefalls. Rather, they will be included in the regular inventory feed.
  • Properties can be found on the Pricefalls Properties Page. Required properties include:
    • Product Title
    • Category
    • Long Description
    • Fixed Price

Walmart Marketplace
  • Walmart limits the Product Add and Update Inventory for single items to 10 items per hour. The image URL cannot have “https” in the URL or will fail to post; it must be “http.” You can adjust this on the Image Hosting Settings page. The image file size cannot exceed 1MB.
  • You can end a Walmart Marketplace listing using the action Retire Listing on the product’s Walmart Marketplace Properties page. Or, in bulk from the Walmart Marketplace:
    • Go to Inventory Management > Select products > Action Menu > Retire on Walmart Marketplace. This creates a queued job with link for progress tracking.
