Update pricing for products in bulk

Marketplace Managers can use Product Uploader to bulk-update Vendor List and Marketplace Sale prices. This feature enables partners to manage pricing changes across ISVs without much effort.

AppDirect enforces a pricing hierarchy model and so prices should be updated in accordance to that. In other words, the Vendor List price should be updated before the Marketplace Sale price.

Note that bulk-changes using Product Uploader can impact pricing across the entire production catalog and so pricing changes should be validated before making them using Product Uploader.

To bulk-update pricing using Product Uploader

📝 Note: If the AppDirect logo appears in the upper-left corner of the page, when Manage > Marketplace appears in this topic, click the grid icon > Switch to | Store, instead.

1. Go to Manage > Marketplace > Products > CATALOG | Product Uploader.
2. Click Download Catalog. From the Select a section to update drop-down, select PRICING | Vendor List Prices, and then click Download. A new entry is created in the Activity Log indicating the progress of the download.
3. To download your Vendor List price .csv file, go to the Activity Log, and expand the required activity row. The expanded section displays the total number products that are in the file, number of products successfully downloaded and the number of products failed to be downloaded.
4. Click the download icon for Products Successfully Downloaded. This file contains the information about the successfully downloaded products.

📝 Note: If there are any errors in downloading, you can view the error file by clicking the download icon for Products Failed to Be Downloaded.

5. Update the prices in the downloaded .csv file.
6. After making the pricing changes, click Update Catalog. In the Update section, from the Select a section to update drop-down select PRICING | Vendor List Prices.
7. Upload your CSV file by either dragging and dropping the file in the provided space or click the link in the provided space and select the required file.
   
8. A new entry is created in the Activity Log indicating the progress of the pricing update.
9. To view the files uploaded, go to the Activity Log, and click the arrow to expand the required activity row. Click the download icon to download any of the following options:
   • Total Products Uploaded- This is the original file uploaded.
   • Products Successfully Uploaded - This file contains the information about the successfully processed products. It also contains the post processed information such as, product IDs that are generated when a product is successfully uploaded.
   • Products failed to be uploaded- This file contains the information about all the products uploaded along with the products that were not uploaded due to errors. You can fix the errors and re-upload the file.

After making these changes, you can perform the same steps to update Marketplace Sale prices in the production catalog. However, to update Marketplace Sale prices, select Marketplace Sale Price in the Download and Upload fields when you download, update, and re-upload the .csv file.
