In order to upload / change your product costs (inbound shipping costs, cost of goods, etc.) all at once, use our handy .csv template to ensure that all costs are uploaded accurately.
Step 1: Export Product Fees Template
To access the Product List go to Main Menu > Products > Product Fee List.
Click on the Product Fees Import/Export Template from the Action menu at the top right of the page. (See screenshot below.)
This will export an editable excel template of the product fees based on your current Smart Search if you've done one to filter your products shown. Otherwise, it will export all of your products.
Please note: if you have more than 10,000 products they will be split into multiple .csv files and compressed in a .zip file.
This will queue your template for processing. Once it's ready, please go to Main Menu > Reports > Download Exports to download the template.
