Additional references in the Shipingbo software allow you to link the products created in Shippingbo and your marketplaces.
They also allow you to simplify your stock management by associating one single product (or "logistic reference") to multiple offers, from a simple sale strategy to batches on several marketplaces.
Adding an additional reference in your Shippingbo catalogue
Step 1 : Enter the details of the designated product inside your products catalogue.
Then, go to the tab "Additional Refs" :
Step 2 : Click on "Add", indicate the corresponding reference of the product on the marketplace and click on "Validate" :
Step 3 : Once the additional ref created, you will be able to see it in the category "additional product references" in the details of the product. You can edit the quantity in the batch.
However, if you wish to modify the additional reference, you have to delete it and create it again from scratch.
Creating additional references by upload
If you wish to create several additional references at once or batches of additional references, you can create them by uploading a csv file containing them in your Shippingbo account.
Step 1 : Enter the menu Configuration -> Files management -> Upload -> Product : Lots and additional references :
Step 2 : Click on "Upload file" and download the corresponding sample file :
Step 3 : Once you have completed the file, click on "Drop or select a file" to upload it and then on "Upload" :
Inside the file you can give the following information :
- product_id : Shippingbo ID of the logistics reference
- matched_quantity : Product quantity in case it is a product batch
- order_item_value : the additional reference assigned toyour logistics reference.
Step 4 : You will find all the additional references created in the sub-menu "Lots and additional references" :
- If the "Batch quantity" of the product is 1, this means it is an additional reference
- If the "Batch quantity" of the product is more than 1, this means it is a batch of product.
Deleting an additonal reference by upload
Step 1 : Enter the menu Configuration -> Files management -> Upload -> Product : Lots and additional references :
Step 2 : Click on "Upload file" and chose the action "Destroy" to download the corresponding sample file :
Step 3 : Once you have completed the file, click on "Drop or select a file" to upload it and then on "Upload" :
Inside the file you can give the following information :
- product_id : Shippingbo ID of the logistics reference
- matched_quantity : Product quantity in case it is a product batch
- order_item_value : the additional reference assigned toyour logistics reference.
