Bulk Upload Products to the Range Marketplace
The Range Marketplace Product listing is easy. Uploading products using feed files is similar to any marketplace such as Amazon, eBay, etc.
So If you are searching for How to upload multiple products on the Range Marketplace, do not hassle anymore. Let’s see the process.
Step 1:
Log into the range marketplace console. We have to click on the product.
And the first thing we have to do is to add categories. According to what categories we selected a template file will be generated.
Now click on add product.
Step 2:
Click Load via spreadsheet. This is where we need to download the template file. So click on download.
Step 3:
Open the template file. Now here we need to input data from the 7th number row. There is an instruction that says- edit below this line. We need to start below that.
However, first, give the vendor SKU, and then GTIN in the second column.
Then comes the brand name, and after that Product base name. Now, the product base name is basically the product title.
Tips: Keep your title keyword reach to rank on the search result. Make sure you follow The Range Marketplace guidelines to create a product title.
Now, the product variation – if your product has variations such as different sizes or colors input this information in the product variant column.
Then comes the base description column, fill out the description, and make sure that your description highlights the most important features first.
Note- in the Excel sheet there are some columns that are mentioned as optional. If you have data then fill these columns otherwise you can skip this.
Input Pricing and Stock Details
Now give your item’s price in the product price column. And then next is the schedule form- this field is optional.
Next – select the currency applicable to your marketplace. If you deal with dollars then use USD or if you deal with Great Britain Pounds then add GBP.
Now, fill up how many items you have in the stock amount column. And then comes Lead time. This is basically the number of days takes to prepare and ship the order.
Step 4 :
- Main Image: Paste the URL of your product’s main image in this column.
- Additional Images: You can add up to 20 images.
- Video Links: If you have product videos, paste their links here.
Tips: Make sure that your images are highly professional and maintain the quality. Also, follow the guidelines of the Range Marketplace.
In the additional images columns you can add up to 20 images, so make sure you add different angles of your product so that your buyer gets a clear-cut idea about your product.
And I suggest if possible adding videos to your listing, as they help buyers understand your product better and can boost conversions.
Step 5:
Now time to fill up the product attribution such as color, color group, color codes, size, material, case instruction ( if you have instruction to share,) etc.
This process is simple, fill your data according to your information.
After adding all the necessary information regarding the listing we need to save the file and go to the page where we downloaded the template.
On that page you will find the upload option, we need to upload the saved file there.
The platform will process the feed, and your products will go live shortly.
