1. Product selection
In the Product selection tab, select the products that you want to publish by selecting categories, brands and/or product references.
1.1 Category selection
To select categories, choose your desired categories from the drop-down menu of the categories tree. You can choose from the parent categories as well as from the more specific subcategories and combine them as you wish.
1.2 Selection of brands
To select brands, simply select the desired brand and click on “add” to add it to the list of “brands included”.
1.3 Selecting references
To select references, look for the BigBuy SKU / reference number in our catalogue and add this in the References>Add section.
Another possibility is that the reference is already added to the inclusion or exclusion list.
2. Product exclusion
Products can be excluded according to the same criteria as for inclusion (except for categories), as well as by product condition and price range.
2.1 Exclusion by price
To exclude by price, select the price range for the products that you don’t want to publish and click on Apply.
The price is the SPD (selling price to distributor)
2.2 Exclusion of products according to their condition
To exclude products according to their condition (new or reconditioned), select the product condition that you want to exclude and click on “Add”.
2.3 Exclude products with shipping restrictions
Specific products are sent from warehouses that collaborate with BigBuy by dispatching the stock from their own facilities. It’s important to note that these selections will be shipped from a different warehouse (not from BigBuy’s central warehouse), and in some cases, they are subject to certain shipping restrictions:
- Shipments only to Europe Mainland.
- Islands are not included.
To exclude these products, simply activate the option.
3. Mass inclusion / exclusion by reference
It is possible to carry out the inclusion or exclusion of products en masse using the references from a CSV file.
This option can be found in the Synchronisation step, both to include and to exclude references.
- Click on the desired option to Add or Remove references from a file.
- Download the CSV template by clicking on the icon. Use this template to add or remove up to 500 references.
- Click on Select file to choose your file containing the references.
- Once you have selected the file, click on Process file.
4. How to view the selected products
In the Selected products tab, you can check the products that are going to be published on the sales channel in accordance with the selection/exclusion rules that have been set.
5. Things to keep in mind
- Each new publication overwrites the previous one. If you want to add new products without removing the previous ones from your store, you need to keep the first selection and extend this.
- Each new publication overwrites the previous one. If you want to add new products without removing the previous ones from your store, you need to keep the first selection and extend this.
- The maximum number of products that can be selected is 25 000. Additionally, 5 000 publications are reserved for publishing new items in the selected categories.
- If different categories, brands and products are selected, they will all be shown. For example, if you select the kitchen category and the brand Bosch, you won’t just have washing machines and cooker hoods, but also products such as drills, because the whole brand is added as well as the entire kitchen category.
- Exclusion takes precedence over selection, so if we select the kitchen category and exclude Bosch, no products from Bosch will appear, not even those in the Kitchen category.
- Inclusion by SKU takes precedence over exclusions. If we include a product by SKU, it will be considered selected in any case, even if we exclude by price range, brand, or product status.
- It is not necessary to publish by categories. If you wish, you can add brands or even a complete list of products using selection by reference.
- Remember to go to the last step and click on Publish after each change you make so that the changes are saved.
