Available to Existing Inventory Management Subscribers

This feature is only available to existing Inventory Management subscribers. Non-Inventory Management subscribers can learn more about using the ShippingEasy Product Catalog.

We are not currently opening Inventory Management to new users or developing new features or functionality for our Inventory solution. This means that at this time we cannot address the issues you have with the current system.

If you need an inventory solution that lets you add your third-party fulfillment provider to your account, our sister company ShipStation may be a better solution for you.

ShippingEasy provides the option to save your Suppliers. This makes generating Purchase Orders a breeze. If you ever find that one of your Suppliers' contact information has changed, you can edit the Supplier to update your records.

Edit individual Suppliers

Follow these steps to edit an individual Supplier:

Click PRODUCTS and select SUPPLIERS from the navigation bar.
Locate the Supplier you wish to edit and click on their name.
Expand the Actions menu and click Edit supplier on the Supplier details page.
Make any edits that you need. You have the ability to edit:
Supplier contact information
Note

It is not possible to remove the default address.
- Suppliers details

- Add a new address
- Add multiple addresses
- Set an address as a default
- Remove an address
Click Save Supplier.

Edit Multiple Suppliers via CSV File

Consider the following when you update suppliers via a CSV file.

It is not necessary to pare down the data to only the items that require updates. Rather, a file with a complete listing of all your suppliers will work just as well as one limited to only suppliers with updates. ShippingEasy will review the file for (1) new suppliers and (2) updated suppliers. All others will be ignored. New suppliers will be added. Update suppliers will be edited to reflect new data. An existing Supplier ID cannot be changed.
You must map the Supplier ID column for every Supplier upload. When adding new Suppliers, leave the ID blank. When updating existing Suppliers, enter the assigned ID. Learn more about finding assigned Supplier IDs and formatting a Supplier CSV file.

Follow these steps to edit multiple Suppliers via CSV file:

Click the Upload Suppliers link On the SUPPLIERS page when you have your prepared CSV file on hand.
Click Browse from the CSV file menu to select your file, then click Upload suppliers.
Map the Source Column to the ShippingEasy Column on the Upload CSV: Supplier Import page, then select Continue.

Important

The Supplier ID column must be mapped for every Supplier upload. When you add new Suppliers, leave the ID blank. When you update existing Suppliers, enter the assigned ID. Learn how to find a Supplier ID.
Click the green Ready button after your file displays in the Current Uploads section.

This will display once ShippingEasy has finished processing the CSV data. You will have the option to review the data.
Edit any fields that require an additional update by clicking the field.

An edit dialog will appear. Once all the data looks in order, click the Complete Upload button.
