See Bulk Update Products to learn how to bulk-update Target product properties.
General
| Product Field | Bulk Update Column | Description |
| Ready to Post | N/A | Indicates whether the product meets the minimum configuration requirements to be updated on Target. If you have an item that is not ready, hover over the section to see a list of the required product properties. |
| Target Enabled | TargetEnabled | Enable Sellercloud to send automatic inventory updates to Target. |
| Web Tool ID | TargetProductID | The product’s unique ID on Target, also referred to as TCIN (Target.com Item Number). |
| Merchant SKU | TargetMerchantSKU | The product’s channel-specific SKU. This field is used to map alternate Target SKUs to their corresponding products in Sellercloud.
Only required if the Target SKU differs from the Sellercloud Product ID.
|
| Discontinued | TargetDiscontinued and TargetDiscontinuedOn | If the product is no longer being sold, mark it as Discontinued to prevent it from being ordered. Enter the Discontinued On date to indicate the start date of the discontinuation. |
Inventory
| Product Field | Bulk Update Column | Description |
| Initial Cost | TargetPrice and TargetPriceUseDefault | Enter the price at which you are selling the product on Target. Alternatively, check Use Default to use the product’s Site Price. |
| Initial Retail | TargetInitialRetail | The Initial Retail field is only for reference. Pricing changes must be negotiated with a Target representative. |
| Safety Qty | TargetSafetyQty and TargetSafetyQtyUseDefault | A buffer between the amount of inventory you have and the amount Sellercloud sends to Target to prevent overselling.
If the Default box is checked, the Safety Quantity from your company’s Target General Settings will be used instead.

| Replenishable | Replenishable | Enable for Replenishable Products that are consistently restocked or tend to restock quickly. It keeps your listings active and prevents you from missing out on potential sales. |
| Default Qty Enabled | TargetDefaultQtyEnabled | Use this option for Replenishable Products to enable the ability to set a Default Quantity that will always be available on Target. |
| Default Qty | TargetDefaultQty and TargetDefaultQtyUseDefault | Specify the Default Quantity. If you check Use Default, the value will be set by the Default Qty field on your company’s Target General Settings. |
