Add Products from Integrated Supplier Catalogs (recommended)

Adding blank products from one of our integrated Supplier Catalogs is the most efficient way to build your own catalog. 

Integrated Supplier Catalogs make it easy to expand your product offerings by providing direct access to supplier-maintained product data within InkSoft. Instead of creating products manually, you can quickly search, select, and add products from supported supplier catalogs while leveraging up-to-date product information and attributes. This guide walks you through the process of finding and adding products from integrated supplier catalogs to streamline catalog management and accelerate product setup.

In terms of which products to add or how many to add:

It is recommended that you take a more curated catalog approach, and start by adding no more than 50-100 products to your catalog. This will make product management much easier. We recommend the "good, better, best" approach for selecting products.

• Click open Products.
• Select Add New Product.

Can't Find An Integrated Product:

If you cannot find a specific product in one of our supplier catalogs, and you know the supplier carries that product, please reach out to our Support team at support@inksoft.com. If you can let us know the sku, manufacturer and supplier, we may look into potentially getting it added to our supplier feed. If you don't want to wait, you can always add the product manually.
