Global Catalogue - SKU Creation

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.

Essential Image Requirements

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

Creating product variants in bulk

To create variants, you will need to first define the parent <> child relationship between your products in the same sheet.

The creation of the parent SKU and its children should be grouped under a single parent, defined by the parent group ID.

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

The above 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.

Global Pricing

 SKU whitelisting - to be done by the seller by uploading Global Prices

• Path way - noon.com -> Catalog -> Imports -> Global -> Global Price Update

• The only difference for Namshi is to add a new column named "marketplace" with the value "namshi_v2" in the upload file

• Global price is the selling price in USD without VAT/GST

Country Visibility 

•     Pathway - Namshi > Imports > New Imports > Country Visibility Update > Download Template > Upload file > Confirm 

Note: is_active_ae will be 1, which denotes live & 0 will denote Not Live in UAE Market

Not Live Status

Check the not live catalog and upload Namshi NIS for missing mandatory fields -

Extracting Not Live status is a two step process:

Step 1- Extracting Parent SKUs of not live SKUs
