Getting Started

This section provides a thorough introduction to Sellercloud, taking you through the foundational steps of creating an account, setting up companies, managing employees, and configuring general settings.

Account Management

Upon creating your Sellercloud account, your server ID becomes crucial for connecting to web services, the Sellercloud API, accessing the Sellercloud interface, and managing your Account Settings. 

You can find your server ID in the web page URL. For example, https://xx.delta.sellercloud.com/. In this instance, xx is your server ID.

Company Management

There is no limit to the number of companies you can create under a single client account. You can tailor your workflow by creating different companies for different channels, countries, and locations. Clients with an Admin Role can effortlessly create new companies.

Sellercloud Support can disable a company when necessary. Learn more about Company Configuration.

Employee Management

Sellercloud empowers you to create and manage employees efficiently, allowing customization of their Permissions and Roles, Security Settings, and task-specific restrictions.

Employees can have unique custom searches and personalize their interface views. For in-depth information, refer to our Employee Management article.

General Settings

Sellercloud’s settings encompass various types, with the two primary categories being Company Settings and Client Settings.

Company settings are applied individually to each company, influencing products, orders, POs, and similar aspects within that specific company. In contrast, Client settings have a global impact on all companies.

Product Management

Understanding different aspects of product management in Sellercloud is crucial and ensures effective organization, visibility, and customization for your offerings across different companies and channels.

Products and Companies

Products are organized on a per-company basis in Sellercloud, and they are automatically visible across integrated channels for specific companies.

If you want the same product to be visible in another company, you can achieve this by creating a Shadow Product.

Product Relationships

Sellercloud introduces three types of product relationships to enhance flexibility:

  • Variations (n-matrix): Represents products with common characteristics but minor differences, like various sizes of shoes or baseball caps available in different colors.
  • Kits (bundles): Kits are products composed of other products, which can include multiple units of a single item or a combination of different products.
  • Shadow Products: Creating a shadow allows the management of separate listings and details for a single product, providing an alternative product profile.
