Highlighted Features:

• Seller Profile.
• Seller Dashboard.

• Marketplace Landing Page Where Popular sellers and Description about the marketplace is mentioned.

Note: The MOBIKUL Marketplace Mobile app is a different module. You have to install it separately.

After the module installation, the user will unzip the folder and click on src folder. Inside that folder, you will find app folder. Click on the app folder and you will get locale and inside that, you will find the language folder in the English language as en_US. Now follow the same path and open the locale folder where you have installed the Magento Marketplace add-on and go inside the locale folder and create a new folder and name with the language for which you want to convert your module content. Now edit the Webkul_Mpmassuploadaddons.csv and then upload to your server inside the locale folder.

Before uploading the CSV file, open and edit it with the translated keywords. Please check the below image for the better understanding.

After the installation of the module, the vendor can find two options under the Marketplace block –

1. Mass Upload Product
2. Mass Upload Data Flow Profile.

Mass Upload Data Flow Profile:

Here, the vendors can create any number of profiles and can select the associated Attribute Set that will be applicable for the created profile names. This profile is to be selected while Mass Uploading the products from the vendor account. To create a profile, enter the name for the profile and select the attribute set name applicable for the profile name and then click the “Save Profile” button to save.

Now after creating the profile, the seller has to add the Mapping for the profile. Seller will click the “Add Mapping” link and a new page will open where the seller can map the Magento Attributes to the File Attributes. The seller will be able to use these file attributes in place of the Magento Attributes in the CSV file columns.

After creating the mappings, when the seller downloads the sample CSV file for uploading his products, he can change the CSV file column names corresponding to the File attributes.

For Example –

The sample CSV downloaded by the seller for the Simple Products is shown below.

In this CSV, the seller can now easily change the column names that correspond to the file attributes for the Magento Attributes as shown below in the snapshot.

Mass Upload Product: 

Here, the vendor can select any type of sample file (CSV/XML/XLS) from the drop-down as per the requirement.

The sample files will be displayed like the image below.

After selecting and downloading the sample file, you can see the below page with other options.

After selecting the Data Flow Profile, Uploading the Product File & Image Zip and clicking the Upload button, a profile will be created. Select the profile from the drop-down and click on the “Run” button.

From the backend, the admin will do the setting for the validation of the Custom Attributes as per the image below.

The seller can export the Images and the Products at any time by clicking the Export Images & Export Products option button available on the mass upload page.

The seller needs to select the product type from the drop-down option and then the seller can click on the “Export Images” button to export the selected product type images as a zip file. Similarly, the seller will select the product type and then click the “Export Products” to download the selected product type as a CSV.

How to upload mass product with custom attributes –

You can see a “Column Name for Custom Attribute”, this feature will only be available if you have installed Magento Marketplace Custom Attributes

After installing Marketplace Custom Attribute, you can see an additional field for the attributes. Only those additional attributes will be displayed in the CSV / XML / XLS files, which will be selected by the user. Also, each attribute has a separate column as shown in the image below.

Here the seller can see various options like selecting “Attribute Set”, “option for uploading CSV files”, “option for uploading images” and if “Downloadable Product” option is selected then a new option appears for uploading Downloadable zip file

NOTE: In the following screenshots, “Column for Custom Attribute” will not appear as we have removed this module from the back-end.
