Overview
Before posting a product on a channel, add the required channel-specific information to the product so that it becomes ready to post. You can check if your product has missing information in Sellercloud and if it does, you can add it manually or through a file import.
Ready Products for Posting Individually
To see what information is missing before a product is ready to be posted:
- Go to Catalog > Manage Catalog > Select a product > Toolbox > Channel > Channel Properties (e.g. eBay Properties).
- In the General panel, hover over the i icon in the Ready to Post field to see the missing information for the product.
- The required missing information for the product can be manually added. To confirm the product is then ready to be posted, select the action Refresh ready to Post status.
Ready Products for Posting in Bulk
You can prepare products for posting in bulk by exporting the missing information for each channel and updating it using a file import.
To export the products’ channel missing information:
- Go to Catalog > Manage Catalog, and select the products.
- Press the Action icon and select Export Channel Missing Information.
- Choose a channel.
- Press Export to generate the queued job.
- Click on the job link to monitor its progress.
- On the Queued Job, press Download output file when the job is completed.
- Open the file and populate the missing information, then save the file.
To import the product channel’s missing information:
- Go to Catalog > Tools > Import Product Info.
- From the Import Data panel, select Bulk Product Update.
- In the Bulk Product Update panel, click on File and upload the saved file.
- Click Upload.
- A queued job is scheduled. Click on the link to monitor it.
Not all missing information can be added through the bulk update option. Some of it can be added only manually or through the other options on the Import Product Info page (e.g., product images, channel attributes, eBay item specifics, and Shopify Metafields.)
Launch Products on Channels
After your products are ready for posting, you can launch them on your chosen channel. However, make sure your account is properly integrated into Sellercloud first. If you wish to perform other channel-specific actions in bulk, please refer to our article about managing channel listings.

- Click action menu > Launch on Channel.

Launch Individual Listings from Product Details
