The Goal of Your First Day Using Celebrate

Introduction

Welcome to Celebrate! We're thrilled to have you start a trial of our software. In this article, we will guide you through your first day using Celebrate and explain the goals we have for you in terms of getting set up to use the software effectively.

Building Your Product Catalog

The main goal for your initial few minutes, maybe even hours, using Celebrate is to build your product catalog. This catalog will serve as the central hub for managing your product data, updating inventory quantities, and selling across multiple channels. The product catalog is located in the "Products" tab of Celebrate.

To build your product catalog, there are several ways you can input data into Celebrate. We will take you through the easiest way, which is using our setup guide. This guide will help you connect your sales channels and import listings from each channel. By connecting your channels and importing data, you can decide which channel you want to use to build your product catalog.

Connecting Your Sales Channels

Before building your product catalog, you need to connect your sales channels to Celebrate. By doing so, Celebrate will automatically pull in all your existing listings from each sales channel, allowing you to manage them in one centralized location.

To connect your channels, simply click on the "Connect Your Channels" button in the setup guide. From there, you can select the channels you want to connect, such as Shopify, Amazon, and eBay.

Importing Listings from Each Channel

After connecting your sales channels, Celebrate will automatically import all your existing listings for each channel. This step ensures that all the necessary data is brought into the Celebrate system. You can access the imported listings by clicking on the respective channel's logo.

Choosing the Primary Channel for Building Your Product Catalog

Once the listings are imported, you need to choose the primary channel from which you want to build your product catalog. Celebrate recommends selecting the channel that offers the most data or the one you usually use for managing everything. Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce tend to provide the most data for import.

If you have your product data saved separately, you can also choose to build your products in Celebrate using a flat file or CSV. This option allows you to import data from a spreadsheet saved on your computer.

Building Your Product Catalog Using Shopify

In this section, we will guide you through the process of building your product catalog using Shopify as the primary channel. Celebrate will automatically take the data from the imported listings and build it into a full product catalog in the "Products" tab.

Enriching Your Product Catalog with Flat Files

Even if you build your product catalog using a primary channel, such as Shopify, you can always enrich it later with a flat file. A flat file is a spreadsheet format that makes it easy to import and export data into Celebrate. This option is useful if you have additional data saved on your computer or if you want to add new attributes or custom fields to your products.

Linking Listings to Products in Celebrate

Once your product catalog is built, the next step is to link the listings to the corresponding products in Celebrate. This linking process ensures that each listing is associated with the correct product using the matching SKU.

If for any reason Celebrate cannot link a listing to a product, it will skip the product. In such cases, you can manually link a listing to a product or create a new product from a listing within the Celebrate interface.

Finalizing Your Setup

After completing the previous steps, Celebrate will continue importing your listings and building your inventory. Once this process is finished, you will have a fully built product catalog in the "Listings" tab and a complete product catalog ready for use.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the setup of Celebrate and are ready to start managing your products and listings efficiently.
