Your Catalog page is where you'll focus on the product data for your account. This includes everything from your titles and descriptions to your tags (search terms) and shipping dimensions. You can also create kits, product groups, and alias relationships on your Catalog page, as well creating new SKUs all together!
Catalog Headers
Zentail has made a limited number of fields immediately visible without having to drill deeper into each SKU. They are:
SKU - This is your main product identifier. It is how Zentail will connect to your products across different integrations. Your SKU values should be unique among products within your account and standardized across integrations. Click here to learn more about SKU best practices: Best Practices for Creating a SKU value.
UPC / EAN / ISBN / GTIN - This column displays your products' standard product ID, which is most often the UPC.
Title - This is the title as we will send it to the marketplaces you are integrated with. If you want to use a different title for specific marketplaces, you can take advantage of Zentail's title override feature. Please note that product groups will automatically add the attribute that they pivot by in parenthesis at the end of the title. For example, if you have a group of T-shirts that pivot by color, the title for your SKU will be "Example T-Shirt" and then Zentail will automatically append the color to read "Example T-Shirt (Grey)" on your Catalog page.
Buy Box - This column will display a $ icon if you have the Buy Box on Amazon. You will need to have pricing sync enabled to see this feature. Learn more about Zentail's repricer.
Sales Price - This is the main price at which your product will be listed and available for purchase. If you would like to use different pricing on a specific maketplace, you can take advantage of the price override feature!
Quantity - This displays the total quantity available for that SKU. It includes quantity in any warehouse / integration set up with Zentail. To manage your Inventory through the user interface, you may want to learn more about Zentail's Inventory View!
Inventory Updated Ts - This is your inventory updated time stamp, or how long ago since there was last any update to this SKUs inventory. Things like, an order getting placed for a SKU, or manually adding or removing inventory, affect the inventory updated ts. If your SKU has had an inventory of 0 with an an inventory updated TS greater than 30 days, Zentail will automatically archive this SKU. It's an automated way to keep your Catalog clean and free of clutter.
Type - This refers to whether your SKU is an FBA SKU, a Kit SKU, and Alias SKU, part of a product group, or some variation.
FBA - If your SKU has "FBA" included in the Type column, that means this SKU is an FBA SKU. If you have merchant fulfilled inventory for this SKU, Zentail will likely create a +MF+ version of it directly on Seller Central.
Single - Single means this SKU is not included in any product groups. It is a stand alone SKU.
Master - This type denotes that the SKU is the Master SKU within a product group. If necessary, you can change which SKU is a master SKU for a product group.
Variant - This type denotes that the SKU is a variant SKU within a product group.
Alias - This means this SKU is an alias of another SKU. That means it infers its inventory from another SKU in Zentail. Read more in the article: What are Alias SKUs and how do I create them?
Kit - A kit SKU is a SKU who's inventory is made up of other SKUs within Zentail. Read more in the article: How do I create a Kit SKU?
Example SKU Types: A SKU can be a combination of the above types, for example:
Single, FBA - this is an FBA SKU that is not part of any product group in Zentail
Variant, Alias - this is an Alias SKU that is also part of a product group in Zentail, but is not the Master SKU of that group. Because it doesn't have the "FBA" type included, you can assume that this is not an FBA SKU. It's also important to note that alias SKUs should never be FBA SKUs.
Catalog Filters
On your Catalog page, you can view your products in a number of ways. The left-hand bar provides different built-in filters for your convenience. The default filter is to look at all of your Active products. You can also look at SKUs filtered by their status on specific channels. Below is a list and definition of all of the filters on your Catalog page!
