Ready to allow Marketplace Management to update your prices and quantities? Check out our pre-go-live checklist.

✔️ Channels/Carts Integrated and Products/Listings Have Imported

• Have you integrated all of your sales channels such as Amazon (integrate Amazon first), ebay, Walmart, and your shopping cart? (Settings > Integrations)
  • Please note that for ebay, Marketplace Management will not allow duplicate SKUs. Please view this article to see how to fix the duplicate SKUs to allow your items to fully import and your integration to be functional.
• Have all of your products completed importing from the channels? This typically can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours depending on the number of SKUs you have.
  
  • Once your accounts are integrated, Marketplace Management will pull in all of your Listings from each sales channel and augment with additional product details from Amazon if available.
  • You will normally have more Listings than you would have Products. 
    • Why do you have more Listings than Products? Each Listing has its own line in the Listings Workspace. When Marketplace Management imports those items in, we will automatically create a line item in the Product Workspace for that SKU. If you have SKU1234 and that SKU is listed on Amazon, ebay and Walmart, then there would be three listings for the single product of SKU1234.
  • When we first integrate your sales channels, we will import all of your active and inactive inventory. Inactive inventory will have a 0 quantity but if you want to remove these listings prior to going live, you can remove the product from Marketplace Management, please view this article to see how. If you want the listing to be completely removed from the channel/cart then you will need to perform a removal or archive action on the sale channel directly. After the initial import, we will only import your active products.

✔️ Prices are correct

• In the Listings Workspace, ensure you have Prices and Preferred Prices filled out. Minimum and Maximum Prices should be filled out if you plan on manually assigning your min/max prices per listing for repricing. Here is how to update these in bulk.
• In the Products Workspace, ensure you have Cost (required) and Fulfillment Center Cost (optional) filled out for all of your products if you plan on using dynamic min/max prices for repricing strategies. Here is how to update your Cost in bulk.
  
  

✔️ Quantities and Fulfillment Centers are correct

Quantities:

• On the Listings Workspace, review the Quantity column to ensure you have the correct quantities you'd like Marketplace Management to send out to the channels.
  • When Marketplace Management see's a brand new SKU for the first time, we will set the default quantity to what is present on your integrated channel/cart. We will assign this quantity to a default Fulfillment Center. If you have not created a Fulfillment Center prior to importing your inventory then the quantity will be assigned to "My Warehouse."
  • If you integrate a sales channel and the SKU already exists in Marketplace Management, we will prioritize the quantity that is already within our application. When you move your account to live, we will push the quantity we have on hand to your channels/carts.
• If you need to update any quantities, you may do so one by one in our user interface, or you may update it in bulk.
• If you have items you no longer sell or no longer have inventory for, check for these items to ensure you do not have quantity showing for them in Marketplace Management.

Fulfillment Centers

• Go to Settings > Fulfillment Centers to see where your quantities are assigned
• By default, Marketplace Management will create a fulfillment center for your merchant-fulfilled quantities called My Warehouse
• If you have multiple warehouses, you may add additional fulfillment centers and will need to update your quantities for each Fulfillment Center in bulk.
• If you use Deliverr, SkuVault, and/or Amazon FBA, then Fulfillment Centers will be created for you upon integration. If the quantities for those FCs do not look correct, please reach out to Marketplace Management Support.

✔️ Orders have imported and are updating quantities

When the integrations with your Channels/Carts are first established, Marketplace Management will gather all orders within the last 30 days from your Channels/Carts by default, including previously shipped orders. Those orders will appear in the Orders workspace and will not cause quantity deductions for your account at this point.

• Marketplace Management Support can backdate the initial order import process for specific Channels/Carts up to 90 days. Other options include creating orders manually using a flat file upload within Marketplace Management.
• For Walmart, by default, Marketplace Management will not import previously Acknowledged orders from Walmart. Within your Walmart Integration settings (Settings > Integrations > Walmart) there is an option to import acknowledged orders and this can be turned on or off at any time.

After the initial order import and moving forward, Marketplace Management will attempt to gather all Unshipped orders from the sales channel if "Gather Orders" is active for that Channel/Cart. All unshipped orders will route into Marketplace Management and cause quantity deductions.

Here's an example of what to expect:

1. You integrate Walmart and Amazon and have not yet turned on the Quantity sync setting in Marketplace Management.
2. Marketplace Management initially pulls in a quantity of 10 for one of your products and sets the quantity to 10 for Amazon and Walmart in Marketplace Management.
3. Quantity Sync is still off.
4. An unshipped order from Amazon is pulled in later that day with an ordered quantity of 2.
5. SA deducts and updates the quantity from 10 to 8 for that product in Marketplace Management. Amazon now has 8 (as that was where the order was from) but Walmart still has 10.
6. Later on, you then turn on the Quantity Sync setting in Marketplace Management to On to allow Marketplace Management up send out quantities to all of your integrated channels.
7. The quantity for that product that Marketplace Management is storing and then sends is 8.
8. Amazon and Walmart are now in sync with quantity 8.

If you're using a shipping solution (i.e. Shipstation) then you will need the Unshipped orders to reach Marketplace Management to create quantity deductions. If your orders are being interacted with by another third party from your Channel/Cart directly, it is best to confirm your workflow prior to going live with Marketplace Management Support.

✔️ Shipping Solution is set up

• Integrate your shipping solution (Settings > Integrations). Allow Marketplace Management the ability to "Update Shipping" under settings for each specific channel. Ensure you do not have the shipping solution directly integrated to the sales channel if you have integrated it within Marketplace Management.

✔️ Other Software solutions have been disabled?

• Ensure you have no other third-party solutions connected to the channels that may impact your prices or quantities.
• Export all available product/listing data from your previous software solution.
• If you use a shipping solution, disconnect any direct connections from channels you may have previously had direct integration with. 

✔️ Repricing Strategies have all required costs and prices entered 

If you're planning on using Marketplace Management's pricing strategies to competitively reprice your items, please ensure you have these fields filled out prior to going live with updating Prices with pricing strategies:

• In the Listings Workspace, ensure you have Preferred, Minimum, and Maximum Prices filled out. Here is how to update these in bulk.
• In the Products Workspace, ensure you have Cost and Fulfillment Center Cost filled out for all of your products. Here is how to update your Cost, Retail Price, and MAP Price in bulk.

For Repricing Only Customers: If you do NOT plan on using Marketplace Management to manage your quantities on the integrated channels and communicate quantities outbound, then your Outbound setting for Quantities will stay "Off."

• Marketplace Management will not continuously import updated quantities from the channels.
• To allow quantities from the channels to continue to import into Marketplace Management so your listings will reprice as expected (i.e. If quantity = 0 in Marketplace Management and quantity = 25 on Walmart, this item will not reprice since Marketplace Management sees this item is not available for sale.), reach out to Support to enable a setting to allow "incoming quantity updates" to update the quantities in Marketplace Management.
