How Clixon can help you by Importing Products to your Catalog

At Clixon, we strive to make your data as complete and as accurate as possible.  We are always happy to help you add products to your Catalogs, at no extra fee.  Whenever we import/add products for our customers, we spend hours gathering accurate product Images, Descriptions, Vendor SKU's (item #'s), Categories, Manufacturers, and Mfr. SKU's, etc...

We offer a list of over 150 Vendors and over 6,000 Manufacturers you can choose from to assign to any product during or after product creation, or you can create new ones.  If you do not see the vendor or manufacturer in our preset list you can create your own.

The value of assigning accurate information such as Manufacturer and Mfr. SKU is high.  This allows you do drill down in our reports and analytics to find out spend by Manufacturer, Category, Sub Category, and you can then drill down to the Product level.  The ability to see how and who you are spending you money is a very valuable tool for any business

You have the ability to add multiple Vendors to one Product.
  1. Using a Manufacturer/Mfr. SKU match when assigned multiple vendors to a single product is the best practice to follow.
  2. This is the criteria we use when adding multiple vendors to a product from our hosted Partner Vendor Catalog.
    1. If "multiple" partner vendors sell the same "Manufacturer" product, then we set all of the Vendors, who sell the product, as optional Vendors on the Product.
All we need from you to add products to your catalog(s) would be the following information:
  1. Vendor Name
  2. Vendor SKU (item #)
  3. Your Price or Cost for each Product
  4. It helps to speed up the process if you send the information in an Excel spreadsheet
  5. Or better yet a 12 month purchase history directly from your Vendor in Excel is also great
