Managing product listings efficiently is crucial for Namshi sellers. This guide explains how to list products using the New SKUs Set-up Sheet on Seller Lab. You'll learn step-by-step methods to create new products, download templates, add images, define product variants, update the barcode, add price, and manage your stock. Following these steps ensures your products are accurately listed and visible to customers, enhancing your overall selling experience.

To list products in bulk, add images and descriptions to the New SKUs Set-up Sheet (NIS) available on your Seller Lab account. After completing the NIS, upload it to Seller Lab, where it will be reviewed and published on Namshi.

Methods for Creating New Products

To list your items, you need to first define which module you will use. we have two modules: FBN and FBP. Each module requires specific attributes to list the products.

Examples:

For FBN: You need to update the NIS template and create your shipment.

For FBP: You need to update the NIS template and stock update template.

Downloading the templates

      1.   Access Template: Open the Seller lab

      2.   Go to Namshi > Go to Imports > New Imports.

      3.   Choose the Import Groups > Product create/update > Import type > Choose the Category.

    

4.   Download Template according to your category in list.

The template should be filled in English. Fields labelled "EN" and "AR" indicate where to enter each language. While providing content in both languages enhances product visibility as Arabic is optional.

Adding barcode to the NIS Sheet

The template requires entering the barcode. Locate the Partner_barcode column and add the barcode directly into that column.

Adding Images to the NIS Sheet

Google Drive:

• Upload images to a new Google Drive folder.

• Share the folder and set General Access to Anyone with the Link.

• Copy the links in CSV format and paste them into the NIS sheet.
  

Note that you are required to fill in all "mandatory" fields for a successful upload.

Note that you are required to fill in all "mandatory" fields for your listings to be successfully uploaded into Catalog. This template will upload your SKU name, sizes, price, barcode and images in one template.

Saving & Uploading the NIS Sheet

1. Save the File:

• Save the completed sheet as CSV or XLS.

2. Upload to Seller Lab:

Essential Image Requirements

The following guidelines will help you use the best pictures that will reflect your products' worth:

MIME Type	Images must be submitted in JPEG or JPG format only.
Image Dimensions and Aspect ratio	Image dimensions should be at least 660x900 pixels and maintain a height and width ratio (aspect ratio) of 0.73.
Resolution (PPI)	Resolution should be above or equal to ≥ 72 PPI (to maintain the image clarity when zoomed).

Creating product variants in bulk

To elaborate on this, let’s see how we can implement this on the NIS sheet.

The below section of the NIS sheet will help you create variants for your products. It also shows the type of text you need to fill in the given cell for the attribute in the top row.

Here you need to first define a Parent Group Key and a Parent SKU. In the example below we have defined this:

Once you have a Parent Group Key and Parent SKU defined, you can use the same Parent Group ID to group multiple children SKU and define them as Child.

Then you need to define the variation that each child would signify, this is defined below:

Please note the Parent SKU will be an independent variable and does not need a size variation defined. 

All the content will be pulled from the Parent for the children except the Size Variation and the Partner SKU columns.

1. Upload each color as a separate parent product in the system.

2. Assign the same unique Grouping Reference to all parent SKUs that belong to the same style.

This Grouping Reference will link the color variations together, allowing customers to view all available colors on one consolidated product page.
