In this guide, we will show you how to change what text is sent to a marketplace.
If you go to the description tab when editing a product, you may have noticed that there is a standard description and marketplace descriptions.
The standard text is the description that will be sent as default to the marketplaces that use the same language, but if you wish to change which standard text is used for which marketplace, or add a completely different description for one marketplace, we will show you how below.
Change language for a marketplace
When you create a new product, you may wish to change which language's standard text is used for each marketplace. If you have a connection to a Finnish marketplace but do not have a Finnish description, it's a good idea to use the English standard text instead.
To change the language you need to change the standard text that is used, you can do it easily by following the below steps:
- Edit the product
- Enter the description tab
- Select Finnish - Marketplace and choose which language's standard text should be used
- Done! The chosen marketplace will now receive the newly chosen language's standard text.
Change language with excel
Another method you can use to change which standard text is used is with excel, to do this you can follow the below steps:
- Create an excel file with the Id or Sku column and fill the cells with your article numbers, you can read more about updating with excel here
- Add a column with the name: text #1234 [lang]
- Replace #1234 with your Integration ID of the marketplace you wish to change the description of, you can find a guide that shows you how to find the Integration ID here
- Replace [lang] with the language code of the new language you wish to use, if you have a Finnish description and wish to use the english description instead, it can look like this: text #1234 fi
- Fill the cells in the new column with: use [lang]
- Replace [lang] with the language code you wish to update to, if you have a Finnish description and wish to use the english description instead, it will look like this: use en
- Import the file, and it is done!
Change language for a standard text
If you have multiple marketplaces that use the same language, such as two Finnish marketplaces, but you do not have a Finnish description, you may wish to change the standard text that those two marketplaces are using to a different one.
To do this, follow the below steps:
- Edit the product
- Enter the description tab
- Select Finnish - Standard text and choose which language's standard text should be used
- Done! The chosen marketplace will now receive the newly chosen language's standard text.
