Adding inventory in a bulk format will save you the time of creating listing items one by one. Use Partner Central’s Bulk Import feature to add seller fulfilled inventory and dropship inventory quickly and easily.
Please note that if you use consignment, the Bulk Import option will not be available. All inventory items will need to be entered manually.
Pay careful attention to the steps of the process. A bulk import will save you time with creating listings, but the file names must follow a specific naming convention and character usage.
If a bulk import fails or does not meet the right specifications, select View Bulk Imports to review the errors and make the necessary corrections. If the changes are correct, the bulk import will be sent to the Partner Central Success Team for approval before you can proceed to the next step.
Follow the steps below to successfully bulk import your listings.
First, select Bulk Import from the left navigation, then select Create Bulk Import.
Once you have selected Create Bulk Import, you will be presented with four fields to complete.
- For Import Type, select Seller Fulfilled Inventory.
- For SKU Number Type, choose to use your SKU numbers or the Jedora SKU numbers while filling out the bulk import form.
- For Inventory Update Method, choose one of the options from the dropdown. Selecting the option titled Subtract Unshipped Sold Quantity is recommended for easy inventory management and to ensure sold orders are removed from your counts.
Press Continue on the bottom right to progress to Step 2.
In Step 2, you will be directed to upload an Excel template that will allow the Partner Central Success Team to process your bulk import correctly.
As you complete this process, please adhere to the guidelines laid out in our article on completing the first round of information required.
