As one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the Middle East, Souq provides broad sales opportunities and brand exposure. Uploading products on Souq is an important step for merchants to conduct business. However, uploading a single product is cumbersome and time-consuming. In order to improve efficiency, merchants can try to use forms to upload products in batches. This article will explain in detail how to use forms to upload products in batches on Souq to help merchants quickly lay out products on the platform.
1. Download the form: After logging in to the Souq backend, go to Inventory and select Item Listing. Select the corresponding product type as needed, and then download the form corresponding to the selected product category. The downloaded form will be used to fill in product information and attributes.
2. Fill in the form: Open the downloaded form. In the form, the parts marked in red are required. Fill in or select the corresponding information according to the information of your own product. The information filled in usually covers the information required when a single product is self-built.
3. Image link: A key point in the form is the external link of the product image. Merchants can choose an image hosting website (such as www.tietuku.com or https://imgbb.com) to obtain the external link of the image. Select the links of five product images and organize them into a text document, then copy them to the corresponding image link column in the table. If you need to add more images, you can try to add more allowed image link columns.
4. Add images and videos to the description: Merchants can add images and videos to the product description to enrich the product display. Use tools such as HTML Cleaner to add images and videos to the description and adjust their layout and size to ensure that they meet the display requirements of the Souq platform. After organizing the description, copy the resulting code to the description column of the table.
5. Upload the form: After filling in the form, save it and prepare to upload. Enter the Souq backend, find Inventory Management, and select the option to upload in batches. Select the required table file and upload it. If the upload fails, you can try to change the file format to “Microsoft Office 2007 Excel” format and try to upload it again.
6. Waiting for review: After the upload is successful, the product will appear in the pending review status. Merchants need to wait for the review of the Souq platform. Merchants can check the upload progress and review results under Inventory Management in the backend of the Souq platform. Once the review is passed, the product will be officially listed.
In summary, using forms to batch upload products is an efficient method to help merchants quickly lay out products on the Souq platform. By downloading and filling out the required forms, merchants can process the information of a large number of products at one time and wait for the platform’s review after the upload is completed. This method can not only greatly reduce the workload, but also ensure the accuracy and completeness of product information. Now, merchants can try to use forms to batch upload products and enjoy the sales opportunities and growth potential brought by the Souq platform.
