How to work with product templates

  • Updated

In this guide, we will take a look at working with product templates in Sello.

A product template is a pre-made text that you can select for use on individual products. Product templates are oftentimes used to input payment policies, contact info, etc on products.

Using a template enables you to display general info on your products, without having to add this info to each and every product.

In order to be able to use a product template on a product, you need to create one, read more here.

  2. Add a new column and name it: "Tradera template".
  3. Log into Sello.
  4. Go to:  "Settings" -> "Products" -> "Product templates".
  5. Find your template.
  6. Copy the ID found in the left-most column.
  7. Paste the ID in all cells under the "Tradera template" -column.
  8. Save the file and make sure it is exported using the .xlsx format.

Your file will now be queued for processing, you can see your estimated wait time to the right.
