Sellercloud can now automatically create new local SKUs based on your Shopify Active Listings. Previously, you could only import your listings manually using a file. Going forward, you can enable the Auto Create Local Products setting on the Website General Company Settings. When enabled, along with the Allow Active Listings Download setting on the same page, Sellercloud will periodically download the active listings report and generate a Queued Job, which will create local SKUs. This process will occur overnight in order to prevent server slowness. This method will be especially useful when doing your initial Shopify setup, but it will also ensure that any new listings created directly in Shopify will be synced in Sellercloud automatically.
Search Keywords for BigCommerce
We have added a new field on the Website Properties page of products listed on BigCommerce: Search Keywords. Previously, in order to send search terms to BigCommerce, there needed to be a specific Custom Column, and it had to be specifically appointed on the Website General Company Settings for this purpose. Going forward, you can use the new field Search Keywords instead. The information from this field is included when performing the action Update Listing Part to Website. To take advantage of this new feature, make sure you have the latest version of the BigCommerce plugin installed on your server.
Clone Vendor Price
Cloning a Product in Sellercloud creates a new product in your catalog, which is a copy of the original item, but without some key information, such as inventory, cost, and price. However, you still have the ability to copy over some details. Along with the ASIN and UPC, we have now also added the option to replicate all the existing Vendor Prices.
Direct Fulfillment Bulk Inventory Update
We have added Amazon Direct Fulfillment as an option to the Bulk Action Update Inventory on Channel on the Manage Catalog page. You can now select multiple products and push a bulk manual inventory update to Direct Fulfillment.
Click to Copy SKUs
We have modified the Click to Copy button on the Manage Catalog page. If you select specific SKUs from the grid, the button will only grab the checked Product IDs. If none are selected, all SKUs loaded on the page will be copied to your clipboard. We have also added this functionality to the Product Details page. Click on the SKU pill at the top left of the page, and the ID will be copied.
Enabled Channels for Shadows
We have added a new column on the Shadows panel on the Shadow Toolbox page in Manage Catalog. You will now be able to see which channels each Shadow product is enabled for without having to navigate around in the interface. This is a great quick reference, and you can also click on any of the icons to be taken to that channel-specific properties page of the Shadow Product.
Do not Send Item Cost to Shopify
By default, when you Launch a new listing on Shopify from Sellercloud, we include the value from the Site Cost field in the API call. However, we have added a new Client Setting, which, when disabled, will exclude product cost information from being sent.
Disable for All Channels
When a product in Sellercloud is Enabled for a sales channel, that means Sellercloud regularly sends automatic Inventory (and in some cases Price) updates to that marketplace. We have added a new action on the Product Details Page (Catalog) called Disable for all channels that will allow you to quickly disable all the channels for that SKU without having to go to each channel-specific properties page to uncheck the boxes.
Download Shipping Templates from Walmart Marketplace Canada
Recently, Walmart updated their API to allow downloading predefined Shipping Templates and fulfillment centers for products for Walmart Marketplace Canada. We have added support for this in Sellercloud, and you will now be able to import existing Shipping Templates, set a Default one for your products, and set up your Sellercloud SKUs. This functionality mirrors exactly the workflow for Walmart Marketplace US, with one notable exception. The Walmart Canada API does not yet support mapping templates to SKUs, so for the time being, you will not be able to update listings’ shipping templates and fulfillment centers from Sellerloud.
Kit Weight Calculation
If you have Kit (Bundle) Products in your Catalog, there are two ways to configure their Shipping Weight. The first one is manually imputing values in the respective fields, or you can rely on a backend service to calculate them for you, based on the Components’ Weights. The latter is controlled by the Client Setting “Enable Kit Weight Calculation Once a day”. We have made a change to this workflow, to make sure that, if the setting is enabled, the Product Weight Fields of Kit Parents, will not be editable, instead, you can only change the Components’ weight, which will then automatically reflect on the Parent when the daily calculation runs.
