Overview
As a reseller or distributor, you can reshare products from your vendors directly into your catalog. When a vendor shares products with you, those products appear in your workspace with their source vendor labeled. You set your own price, markup, and lead time before making them available to your buyers.
Who this is for: Resellers and distributors who source products from vendors and sell to their own buyers.
What happens in the system
The vendor product is linked to your catalog (not copied)
You set your own price and markup on top of the vendor's cost
Your buyers see the product as coming from you
The vendor's name, cost, and original pricing are visible only to you, never to your buyers
You can edit the title, pricing, inventory, lead time, and other fields in your reshared version
What does NOT happen
Buyers do not see your vendor - The "From [Vendor Name]" badge is visible only to you. This protects your supply chain.
No automatic publishing - Reshared products that need to be confirmed appear with a "Confirm item" button. You must review pricing and publish before buyers see them.
No automatic price sync - If the vendor changes their price, your cost does not automatically update. You control when to adjust.
Prerequisites
A vendor relationship established (the vendor must have shared products with you)
At least one pricelist where you want to add the reshared products
Viewing Reshared Products in Your Catalog
Step 1: Open your workspace
Navigate to your home page (your company name in the top-left). Your product list shows all items in your catalog, including reshared vendor products.
Reshared products display a "From [Vendor Name]" badge beneath the product status. This badge is only visible to you.
Each reshared product row shows inline columns on the right:
Inventory - Units available from the vendor
Cost - What the vendor charges you (read-only)
% - Your markup percentage (editable)
Price - What you charge buyers (editable)
Lead time - Total days to fulfill (editable)
Step 2: Review products that need confirmation
Some reshared products show a "Confirm changes" or "Confirm item" badge. This means the vendor has updated the product, or a new item was added that needs your review before going live.
Click "Confirm item" to accept the product and set your pricing, or click the product to open the detail panel and review changes.
Setting Your Pricing and Markup
Step 1: Browse vendor products
Click on the company name in the top-left corner to open the vendor selector dropdown
Select the vendor whose products you want to view
You'll see their product catalog with pricing (what they charge you)
Step 2: Open a reshared product's detail panel
Click on any product in your workspace that shows a "From [Vendor]" badge to open the detail panel.
The panel header shows "Reselling from [Vendor Name]" and the product's current status.
Step 3: Set your pricing
In the Item pricing section:
Cost - The vendor's price to you (read-only)
Markup % - Your profit margin (editable)
Price - What you charge buyers (editable)
Currency - Your selling currency
Changing the markup automatically recalculates the price, and vice versa.
Step 4: Review inventory and lead time
In the Inventory section:
Available - Units committed to sell
MOQ - Minimum order quantity
MXQ - Maximum order quantity
In the Lead time section:
Vendor - The vendor's lead time (read-only)
Processing - Your additional processing days (editable)
Total - Combined lead time shown to buyers
Step 5: Review product details
You can also edit the following fields in your reshared version:
Category - Set your own category for the product
Tags - Add tags for filtering
Packaging, Condition, Warranty, Terms and returns - Editable in your version
External IDs - SKU, MPN, UPC (pre-filled from vendor)
Step 6: Publish the product
Review all settings in the detail panel
Click the "Save" button to save changes
Click "Publish" (or, if already published, the green Published button to change status)
The product is now visible to your buyers. They see your pricing, your lead time, and the product details - but never your vendor's name or your cost.
What changes over time
When you update your pricing:
Changes appear to buyers immediately after you save
When the vendor updates their product:
Your product card shows a "Confirm changes" badge
Review the changes and click to confirm or adjust
Your cost does NOT automatically change - you control pricing
When the vendor changes their inventory:
The vendor inventory count updates in your view
Your "Available" count reflects what the vendor has committed to you
Common Issues
Issue: Can't See Vendor Products
Symptom: When switching to a vendor's view, you don't see their products
Solution:
Verify you have an approved vendor relationship - the vendor must have shared their pricelist with you
Contact the vendor to ask them to share their products
Check your admin for relationship status in Settings > Relationships
Issue: Product Shows "Confirm item" But Isn't Visible to Buyers
Symptom: You can see the product in your workspace but buyers can't
Solution:
Open the product detail panel and check the status
Set your pricing (Cost, Markup %, Price)
Click "Save" then ensure the product is Published
Verify the product has inventory greater than zero
Check that your pricelist is shared with your buyers
Issue: Vendor Changed Their Price, My Cost Didn't Update
Symptom: Vendor updated their price but your cost shows the old amount
Solution:
Reshared products preserve your cost until you update it
Open the product detail panel and manually update your cost
Or check for a "Confirm changes" notification on the product card
Issue: I See "From [Vendor Name]" - Will My Buyers See This?
Symptom: You see vendor attribution on your reshared products
Solution:
This is expected - StockApp shows you the source for your reference
Your buyers will NOT see this - vendor attribution is completely hidden from them
Use "Impersonate buyer" to verify exactly what buyers see
Issue: Can't Edit the Vendor Cost Field
Symptom: The Cost field appears read-only
Solution:
The Cost field reflects what the vendor charges you and is set by the vendor relationship
You can set your own Price and Markup % - those are fully editable
If the vendor's cost is wrong, contact the vendor to update their pricing
