What is ecomdash
Ecomdash is one of the most popular cloud-based inventory management systems in the world. It integrates standard inventory management features with listing management, order management, and at last shipping management capabilities into one single platform. Actually, it is made for small and medium-sized online retailers who sell their items in multiple e-commerce channels.
For any marketplace, the most introductory and most critical factor is PRODUCT LISTING. If we do not upload the items with all their details, then we can’t see or sell them. So it’s very important that we properly understand how to flawlessly add items on ecomdash through feed.
Add items on ecomdash
There are 2 ways to upload a product or to list the item.
Manually
By using Feed ( Through a CSV file )
For ecomdash manually uploading a product or listing is a very easy process. But it is time-consuming. You have to upload every individual item one by one. It is good if you have just a few items. But if you are going to sell a large volume of items then you need to do it using the 2nd method. It will be quite impossible to add items on ecomdash 1 by 1. For Example:
Go to the ecomdash Dashboard > Inventory Section > Select Add New Product
Fill up all Mandatory -> Details Section
Supplier information
Manufacturer Information
Now fill up all the Mandatory-> Inventory Section
Fill up all Mandatory -> Listings Section
Fill up all Mandatory Information -> Images Section
So that’s why Uploading or Listing item manually is a very lengthy process. But this is a very easy process for uploading 1 or 2 products.
By uploading or listing through feed you can easily upload 1000 or more items at a time. You Just need to go through the process of uploading or listing through feed.
So, let’s see- In ecomdash, you can upload or list your new product by building an import format to match your file and uploading a.CSV file. Here it is explained Step By Step

dashboard. Here you can see all the features of ecomdash multi-channel application. Basically this is where you can control almost everything on ecomdash.

- Navigate toSettings > Inventory Settings
2. Choose “Import Format”
3. To create a file format Click‘Add New’ button
4. Give a name to your import format file and click ‘Add New’
- After giving name to your import file you will see there are 2 drop downs at the top of your format. One for Storefront and another for Warehouse. Select your storefront and Warehouse from these two drop downs.Select your Storefronts.

Then find the template and click excel preview button on the right.
After inputting all columns informations, save the file.
2. When your format file is complete, navigate to Inventory > Upload Inventory

4. If you create a new listing, then you choose to “Overwrite existing product details with file” option.
