How To: Import Common Products

Important

This function is available in Multi-Vendor Plus and Ultimate.

In Multi-Vendor you can use the feature Common Products for Vendors for creating a product base for your vendors to sell. You can add common products either one by one in the admin panel or in bulk via import. You can also give sellers the ability to bulk add common products to their catalog.

How an administrator can create a list of common products via import

To bulk add products to the list of common products, you need to:

  1. Create a CSV or XML file with a common products list.
  2. In this file, in the column (CSV) or target node (XML) Vendor instead of the name of an individual vendor you need to specify the value ~ (tilde).
Common products in an imported CSV file.
  1. Then import the products as usual.

After that, you will see a list of imported products on the Products → Products → Common products page.

How sellers can bulk add products from the list of common products via import

Using import, sellers can also bulk add common products to their catalogs. To do this, you can share a file with the required product properties and product codes of the products with the seller.

The seller will be able to select the required products and import them via Products → Products → Import into their catalog with all the properties of common products.

Vendors will add common products using their product codes.
