Efficiently manage your product information individually or in bulk, and perform day-to-day management tasks.


Update your Product Information

You can update the information held against your products in three ways.

Method
Summary

Individual Update

Update a single product from within Venditan Commerce.

Inventory Updater Tool

Update a group of products from within Venditan Commerce.

Bulk Import/Export

Update a group of products in CSV format.

Individual Update

Open up a product and update its information from within Venditan Commerce.

This is useful for making individual changes or rectifications, allowing you to quickly update product information without affecting other listings.

Inventory Updater Tool

Our in-built Inventory Updater Tool allows you to update a group of products from one screen without leaving Venditan Commerce.

1

Filter your inventory

Filter your inventory down to the subset of products that you would like to update.

2

Choose an Update Type

Select an Update Type to define what type of product information you would like to update.

3

Update your products

The Inventory Updater Tool presents you with a spreadsheet-like editing interface so you can quickly update the products and click Save.

Update Types

The following types of product information can be updated from the tool:

  • Price

  • Stock Cost

  • Stock Settings

  • Product Tags

  • Regional Availability

  • Product Attributes

Bulk Import/Export

The Inventory Updater Tool also includes a convenient Bulk Import/Export feature.

Exported your filtered subset of products and make the necessary updates within the CSV file.

Import the CSV file back into Venditan Commerce, which checks and validates the imported data.

Venditan Commerce will notify you of any errors, such as data misformatting, so you can correct them and re-import the data.


Manage and schedule Sales Channel availability

Control which Sales Channels your product should be published to.

Sales Channel availability can be scheduled, allowing you to control when products become live on different websites and marketplaces and the duration of their visibility.


Manage Regional Availability

Specify the regions where your products can be sold through your website with the Regional Availability feature.

This allows you to manage product availability by country, product-by-product, or Brand.

You can use a simple interface to select the countries where your chosen products or Brand should be available.


View open Orders for a product

Clicking Open Orders from the product interface allows you to quickly access and analyse all open Orders containing a specific product.


Generate and print Barcode Labels for your products, typically in the EAN13 format, though Venditan Commerce can support any format.

This uses the information stored in your Barcode field for the product.

Venditan Commerce will auto-populate a Barcode if that field is blank during product creation.

Barcodes are a fundamental component of Venditan Commerce's stock handling and pick, pack and dispatch processes.


Receive reminders for re-orders

Get automated email alerts when products reach their Reorder Threshold. This basic feature helps you stay on top of your replenishment needs by notifying you when to restock.

Venditan Commerce's Automated Replenishment functionality has superseded Re-Order Alerts.


Downstream updates to your EPOS system

You can force refresh the product data on your EPOS system once you've made updates in Venditan Commerce.

This happens automatically and regularly, but if you've made significant updates to your product data, you want to manually trigger the process to ensure that the changes are processed to your point of sale as soon as possible.


Discontinue a product

Mark a product as discontinued when it is no longer being stocked.

This action ensures that the product is automatically flagged as unavailable, preventing it from being sold or displayed across your Sales Channels.
