Product List

Index a Project

You must index the Products in your Project to be able to search and filter them in the list. The indexing time can vary based on the size of the Product list.

To index your Products, do the following:

1. Go to Products > Product list in the Merchant Center main menu.
2. Click Index my product catalog now.

After indexing, the data is kept up to date automatically.

Product list interface

The Product list interface has three sections:

• Product list: displays Products that match the current search and filters, and lets you access a Product detail page and Product Variant information.
• Product search: returns Products that match the criteria in the search box. You can use the Search toggle to switch between the basic and advanced search modes. For more information, see Basic Product search and Advanced Product Search.
• Search filters: returns Products that match the filter criteria. To access and view available filters, click Filters.

View and edit Product details

To view and edit Product details (such as Product Variants, Product Attributes, Prices, and more), go to Products > Product list, and click a Product on the Product list.

Bulk Product actions

You can perform the same action on multiple Products simultaneously or export a selection of Products from the Product list. For example, this can be useful in conjunction with the search feature to publish all the Products in a specific campaign or sale.

To perform bulk Product actions, do the following:

1. Select the Products for which you wish to do the bulk action. You can select up to 120 Products. Select the checkbox in the Product list's header row to select all the Products on the page. You can change the number of Products displayed on the page from the Items per page drop-down at the bottom of the Product list table.

2. Select any of the following bulk actions you want to perform from the Actions drop-down list:

   • Publish: publishes the selected Products.
   • Unpublish: unpublishes the selected Products.
   • Delete: deletes the selected Products.
   • Bulk edit attributes: updates the selected Product's Attributes in bulk.
   • Bulk edit categories: updates the selected Product's Categories in bulk.
   • Bulk assign products to product selections: assigns Products to Product Selections in bulk.

To perform bulk actions on Products on different pages of the Product list, you can pin up to 20 Products and execute the previous steps.

To pin a Product, hold the pointer over a Product row and click the pin icon. To unpin a Product, click the respective pin icon again.
Pinned Products are moved to the first rows of the table and will be available when you navigate across other pages of the Product list.

Import Products

1. Go to Products > Product list.

2. Click the Actions drop-down and select Import products.

3. In the Import products by CSV window, choose a CSV file on your computer to upload, and click Upload and preview.

   • Select the Publish all products in the file checkbox to update the current and staged representation of existing Products, and publish new Products. If not selected, the imported data will only update the staged representation of existing Products and new Products created by the import process are not published.

4. After the file is uploaded and validated, verify the rows and columns to be imported, and click Continue.

5. Click Start import to confirm the import process. As the import process is a background task, you do not need to wait for it to complete. To check the import status, go to Operations > Import.

Export Products or Inventory

Basic Product search

The basic Product search mode lets you perform a keyword search over the following fields in a Product's and Product Variants data:

• Product names
• Descriptions
• Slugs
• SKUs
• Product keys
• Variant keys

You can also search for multiple search terms at once. The basic Product search mode is the default, and we recommend new users to it. If you need to perform a more detailed search, see Advanced Product Search.

Search filters

The search filters in the Product list are a powerful way of filtering and managing your Product catalog. To filter the Product list, click Filters. Each filter in the sidebar interacts differently based on the type of data it filters. You can also add additional search filters using the Add sidebar filters drop-down.

The order in which you interact and apply filters matters as they can reduce the available results for other filters.

By default, all Projects have the following filters:

• Category: filters Products based on Categories defined in your Project. Use a Category name, Category description, Category key, External ID, or Short URL (slug).
• Date modified: filters Products modified on or within a date and/or time range.
• Product Type: filters Products based on one or more Product Types.
• Status: filters Products based on one or more Product publishing States.
• State: filters Products based on one or more Product workflow states. A Product can have a state only if a workflow is defined.
• Date created: filters Products created on or within a date and/or time range.

Optionally, you can add the following filters from the Add sidebar filters drop-down.

• Product Attributes: filters Products based on Product Attributes defined for your Product Types. You can identify each Attribute by its label. The filter uses different fields based on the type of Attribute and amount of data to display.

To remove search filters, do the following:

1. In the sidebar, click Edit filters, a warning icon indicates if a filter or a filter's value is currently applied. Then, follow these steps:
   • To remove a filter, click Remove entire filter on the corresponding filter.
   • To remove individual values applied on a filter, click Remove filter value on the corresponding filter's values.
2. Click Save. If you removed any filters that were applied, the Product list values will be updated accordingly.

Customize your workspace

You can customize the layout (the visible columns in the Product list and Filter sidebar) and/or your searches, and save them as new views. Any changes applied to the layout, search, or filters is denoted by an orange dot in the My views drop-down.

To save a view, click Save as new view in the My views drop-down. The newly added views can then be accessed and applied from this drop-down. When no customized views are saved, a default view is applied.

You can update the view with the changes or revert them, and rename or delete saved views from this drop-down.

Customized views are saved only for the Project the changes are made to and are not shared across other Projects or users.

Table settings

The Table settings drop-down lets you modify the data displayed on the screen.

Column manager

The column manager lets you modify the table columns displayed in the expandable rows on the Product list page.

• To modify columns for Products, select Product columns.
• To modify columns for Product Variants, select Variant columns.

You can drag the columns to the Hidden columns and Visible columns lists and reorder them by moving the entries up or down the stack.

To save the changes, click Save settings. To discard the changes, click Cancel.

Layout settings

To modify the table layout, select Layout settings and configure the following:

• Text visibility: displays full text or text preview inside cells.
• Row density: expands or reduces the padding inside cells.

To confirm the changes, click Save settings. To discard the changes, click Cancel.
