Product Uploader

Product uploader is a powerful utility that enables Marketplace Managers and Developers to bulk create, update, and publish product information and pricebook schedules to the product catalogs in a marketplace. Some processes related to creating and managing product information in a marketplace are recurring, so manually configuring all this data can take time and effort. Product Uploader helps you streamline such processes and allows you to manage product inventory with ease. They can also download product information from their Staging Catalog.

On the AppDirect marketplace, the Staging Catalog contains all native applications and network applications (if included on your marketplace) whether they are published to production or not. Changes you successfully make to product information are updated in the catalog. For instance, if you want to bulk-update prices for various product editions, you can make the revisions in the product uploader file and upload it. Hence, it is important that you carefully review the changes you make using Product Uploader.
