Common Questions

Can brand control what retailer sees what data?

Brands will be able to set permissions in multiple ways. The most common permission is to ensure only their open account retailers have access to product data. They can also set permissions by product. For example, a special color can only accessible to a predetermined set of retailers.

What file formats are accepted for product data uploads from brands?
Excel (.xls) and comma-separated-values (.csv) files are the most common files for importing text based product data. For digital assets such as images and datasheets a wide range of file formats are supported such as jpg, png, pdf. It's unlikely that any commonly used file format will not be accepted.
