Creating New Products As a Supplier

Learn how to work with our Catalog team at PurchasePlus to Create Your Products, in Bulk.

PurchasePlus has a full-time team of Supplier specialists (yes, real people) including team members that have worked in Supplier businesses like yours. We know how important your customer relationships are and our team's number one focus is to help you be successful on PurchasePlus.

When you join PurchasePlus as a Supplier, one of the first jobs to be done is to populate your Supplier Account with all the Products, Prices, and Catalogs that you would like to offer your customers on PurchasePlus. Don't worry though - you're not starting from scratch. Our PurchasePlus Master Catalog has over 1.5 million Products that likely match some (or many) of your products, and we can help you get set up and selling in short order.

What is the New Product Template?

Our New Product Template is the best way to Create New Products in bulk. It is a spreadsheet with the necessary data specified that we need for your Products, and can be accessed and downloaded using this link.

Simply populate the template with your Product, Price and Catalog information, send it to us. Our friendly Catalogs team will upload the Products to your account - matching them to our Master Catalog items where appropriate.

Matching your Products to our PurchasePlus Master Products means that your customers (Purchasers with whom you have an Enabled Trade Relationship) that are shopping for generic Master Products (e.g. Plain Flour 500g) will be able to see your quoted price for this item - even if our Master Product has a slightly different description to your Product.
