Publish products in bulk

As a Marketplace Manager you can bulk-update, and publish multiple products to the production catalog of a marketplace using the Publish Products option in Product Uploader. This helps in streamlining the process of listing multiple products on a marketplace.

You can use the Staging catalog to update information about your products before uploading them to the marketplace and add products to be published for the first time to the marketplace Production catalog.
