Here are the first steps of how to add your products and start your sales.
First access your central seller, and download the template following the steps in the images below:
Ready? now your spreadsheet will be downloaded, and you can start filling it.
Let’s go to the steps below:
Category Name – Select the product category your product best fits:
For example, is your product an earphone? So is going to be
Eletronics_Audio_and_Video:
Category – For internal use only – Do not fill
Type – In this column, we define the type of the product.
For example:
Parent product – This type of product is designed to receive variations (size or color). For example, if you are going to register a shoe with 3 colors and 3 sizes, you must create a “Parent product” to receive these variations.
Child – This product type is designed to define variations that will be associated with Parent product.
Simple – Unique product with no color or size variation.
sku – Sku is the way to organize and manage your products. We recommend abbreviating information such as brand, model and variation to compose it.
For example, let’s create the Smartwatch Amazfit Verge White SKU, it could look like: sw-amzfit-vg-wt
**Each sku must be unique. Repeating sku on different ones will cause one of them to be overwritten, also it CANNOT have spaces between letters, they can be all together or separated by ‘’- ‘’**
sku_parent – If the product is “child”, that means it is a variation is a variation of another “parent” product.
Fill in the SKU code of the “parent” product related to it. For example, a Shoe that has color and size variation should create a “parent” SKU (shoe-air-max) and its variations should contain this SKU in the sku_parent column so that the system can associate products with it. DO NOT FILL IN THAT FIELD FOR PARENT PRODUCTS.
name – Your title should be well summarized, between 10 and 60 characters.
Enter the most relevant information like product name and model
description – Here you must enter all your product information, such as technical details, functions and differentials.
This will directly impact the consumer, bringing confidence to their possible purchase. But watch out for some information that causes disapproval:
• Marketplace does not approve products reported as assorted. It is mandatory to inform the color, because the end customer needs to know exactly what they will receive;
• Do not inform dimension for Toys, Furniture and Decoration;
• Do not describe brands such as “Parallel”, “Original”, “National” or “Imported”;
• Packages without volume (ml);
• Interrupted descriptions or no word spacing;
• Insert links to websites or videos in the description;
• Enter store information such as telephone or address;
• Write in a compelling way, for example: buy it now, download it, fill out the form, call, contact us and so on.
