How do I make sure that my products are

configured like Seller A?

You need to make sure of these 2 things:

• Use same SPU in creating products

• Use Associated SKUs to stack the SKUs (for

mass upload creation)

1. Using same SPU properties during creation

1. Single upload: SPU attributes

are all filled up

2. Mass upload: Primary category, Brand,

Model and SPU attributes are to be of the

same values.

2. Using Associated SKUs to stack/associate SKUs into one group

1. Single upload: All SKUs are stacked together

according to the variants chosen.

2. Mass upload: Set the Associated SKU for all

the SKU variants. One seller SKU is to be set as

the Associated SKU so that all variants will be

tied into one group anchored by that one Seller

SKU member

Tip: Choose the top most Seller SKU for easier

identification

How did Seller B’s products got configured like

that?

You need to avoid these 2 things:

• Using different SPU in creating products

• Not using Associated SKUs to stack the SKUs

(for mass upload creation)

1. Using different SPU properties during creation

1. Single upload: Different SPUs

for different colours (indicating

colour in the model name)

2. Mass upload: SPU attributes are not the

same for all variants

2. Not using Associated SKUs to stack/associate SKUs into one group

1. Single upload: SKU variants are created in

two different SPUs

2. Mass upload:

- Associated SKU not set for all SKU

variants

- Different Associated SKUs set for

each SKU variant

- It will result the SKUs being created

separately
