Sales 4 Merchants
The SKU is the key field in every inventory file and should be treated with care. Sales4Merchants.Com uses the SKUs in your inventory file to associate your products with the individual records in the Sales4Merchants.Com catalog. This means the following:
Search terms (keywords) are the primary method customers use to locate products on Sales4Merchants.Com. All products on Sales4Merchants.Com are searchable by every word or fraise used in the description of the product. Think like your customers and use the terms that are popular on your own site or product line. For more information about using search terms, see Information About Search And Browse.
Handling-time to ship
The handling-time to ship is the time it takes you to get the product to your shipment carrier. The total shipping time is then handling time + carrier time.

Attention: If you do not specify a handling-time-to-ship value, the value is set to 1-2 days. If you use the inventory template to update your inventory amounts, be careful that you also specify your handling-time-to-ship. My product information adheres to Sales4Merchants best practices for listing products The Searchable Descriptions for my products are the best they can be Checklist Each required field has a value. Each product has a unique SKU. The standard-product-id values conform to the format appropriate for the product-id-type. (That is, if the product-id-type is UPC, the standard-product-id has 12 digits.) The bullet-point and description fields avoid unapproved characters such as quotation marks, copyright symbols, or trademark symbols. Text pasted into the bullet-point and description fields from Word are not formatted (You can clear the formats in Word or Microsoft Excel by selecting the text and then clicking Edit > Clear > Formats.) URLs used for image references are properly formatted, including the "http://" protocol indicator and ".jpg" extension. Appropriate products have weight and/or size dimensions. Products have a launch date (if the field exists). If products are part of a sale, the sale price less than the usual product price; also each product with a sale price includes dates for the sale. All dates are formatted correctly using the format YYYY-MM-DD (2004-02-29). All sellable products include a quantity for all sellable products. (Note: Product with no quantity do not appear on either the live or staging site. Also note that parent products should not have a price or quantity.)
