Navigating the Products page

The Manage Products page is where merchants and vendors can view, add, edit, organise, and control products in Shipturtle.
Both merchants and vendors see a similar interface, but merchants have extra control over approvals, settings, and visibility.

This guide explains everything you can do on this page, in simple terms.

Who Can Do What?

Vendors can:

  • View their products
  • Add and edit products
  • Manage variants, price, and inventory
  • Import/export products

Merchants can (in addition to vendor actions):

  • Control what vendors can see or edit
  • Approve or reject vendor product addition requests
  • Configure categories, custom fields, and product templates
  • Manage tax mapping and global product settings

What You See on the Manage Products Page

Each product row shows:

  • Product image & title
  • Category
  • Vendor name
  • Channel (Shopify sync status)
  • Mapping status (Mapped / Unmapped) for vendor synced products
  • Product status (Active / Draft / Archived)
  • Quantity & variant count
  • Quick action icons (edit, disable, delete)

1. Search & Filter Products

At the top of the page, you can:

  • Search products by:
    • Product name
    • SKU
  • Apply filters such as:
    • Vendor
    • Tags
    • Product status
    • Mapping status

This helps you quickly find specific products, even with large catalogs.

2. Show Variants (Edit Without Opening Product)

You can manage variants directly from the product list.

What you can do:
  • View all variants under a product
  • Edit price and quantity
  • Delete variants
Steps:
  1. Click “+ Show Variants”
  2. Click the pencil icon to edit price or quantity
  3. Click Save Changes or Discard Changes
  4. Use the delete icon to remove a variant

This saves time and avoids opening each product individually.

3. Import & Export Products (Bulk)

Merchants and vendors can manage products in bulk.

You can:

  • Export products and variants to CSV
  • Edit them offline
  • Import the updated file back into Shipturtle

This is useful for:

  • Large catalogs
  • Bulk price or inventory updates
  • Initial product uploads

Refer to the Bulk Import/Export guide for detailed steps.

4. Add New Products

Both merchants and vendors can add products directly from Shipturtle.

Key benefit:
  • Products sync bi-directionally with Shopify
  • Any change made in Shopify reflects in Shipturtle
  • Any change made in Shipturtle reflects in Shopify

Refer to Add Product for a step-by-step guide.

5. Bulk Actions (For Multiple Products)

Select one or more products and use Bulk Actions to:

  • Set as Active – Product becomes visible on the website
  • Set as Draft – Product is hidden from the website
  • Set as Archived – Product is archived
  • Delete Product – Permanently remove products
  • Add Labels
  • Import Inventory from SFTP
  • Export Variants to SFTP

This is ideal when managing many products at once.

6. Approvals (Merchant Only)

Merchants can approve products submitted by vendors.

  • Click Approvals on the top-right
  • Review pending products
  • Approve or reject them

Approved products become live based on their status.

7. “More Options” (Hamburger Menu)

The More Options (⋮) menu provides useful shortcuts:

  • Restore Deleted Products
  • Manage Categories
  • Manage Product Templates
  • Tax Mapping
  • Files Uploaded Earlier (CSV history)
  • Organize Columns
    • Choose which columns to show or hide
    • Rearrange columns as per your preference
