Navigate to Sell → Launch Styles.
You will see a list of styles ready to be launched, based on the brand’s instructions.

Go to the Media tab → Add Snapshots to upload images of the product.
Make sure a front view, right side view, back view, and left side view are included (in this order).
Navigate to Tags → Style and ensure there is a "New" tag. If not, add it.
Import to Shopify:
Go back to the Summary tab and click Import.
The flag should turn green, indicating the style has been imported into Shopify.

Step 2: Navigate to Shopify Admin

Ensure Correct Marketplace:
Make sure you're in the Ventanas marketplace (you can switch by clicking the tab in the top-right corner).
Access Imported Products:
Go to the Products tab on the left side.
Filter products by Vendor → Ventanas (all imported items will initially be marked under this vendor).
⁠

Step 3: Update Product Information

Select all Products for Bulk Editing and Prepare
Products will be set as Ventanas
Search vendor “Ventanas” and check all relevant products
Select all the imported items
Click Bulk Edit
Click “Columns” and make sure all of the following columns are checked: Description, Tags, Product Category, Product Type, Online Store, Point of Sale, Shop, Google & Youtube, Facebook & Instagram, Care, Color-list, Fit Guide, Fabric
Unchecking other columns may be helpful to keep things clean
For bags and scarves, include dimensions in description.

If multiple products show as duplicates, mark the duplicates as [ARCHIVE] in the product title and set status to Archive

Adjust the Category and Product Type based on the item.
You MUST assign a category for tax purposes
Use similar items from the
Ventanas Website
⁠
for reference.
Add Color-List:
Enter the colors under the Color List (NOT the field Color)
If there are more than 4 colors, label the product as Multicolor, in addition to the specific colors
Include accent colors as well.
Fabric Type and Care Instructions:
Identify the fabric type in the product description and add it to the Fabric field.
Refer to the
Materials Database
⁠
for care instructions based on the fabric.
Add care information to the Care section on Shopify and remove the material care text from the description afterward

Change Background Color:
Set the background color to #e8e8e8 (gray).
You can apply this setting to all items first or as you edit each one.
