Method 3: Changing Product Status

The status dropdown in the top-right of the detail panel controls buyer visibility.

Available statuses:

  • Published: Visible and purchasable by buyers

  • Sold out: Visible to buyers but cannot be ordered

  • Draft: Hidden from buyers (work in progress)

  • Inactive: Temporarily hidden from buyers

  • Unpublished: Hidden from buyers

To change status:

  1. Open the product details panel

The Unpublish / Publish button at the bottom of the panel is a shortcut that toggles between Published and Unpublished.

Method 4: Managing Multiple Lists

If your product appears in multiple pricelists, you can set different pricing per list.

  1. Open the product details panel

  2. Click More options (the ... button at the bottom)

  3. Click Manage lists

  4. Set different values per list:

    • Markup % and Price

    • MOQ, MXQ

  5. Click Save

Note: Inventory is shared across all lists — it is not per-list.

What changes over time

When you update a Published product:

  • Changes appear to buyers immediately after saving

  • Buyers browsing your catalog see the new values

  • Items already in buyer carts update to reflect new prices

When you change status to Draft, Inactive, or Unpublished:

  • Product disappears from buyer-facing catalogs

  • Existing orders are not affected

  • You can reactivate by changing status back to Published

Common Issues

Issue: Changes aren't saving

Symptom: Values revert after clicking away

Solution:

  • For inline grid edits, clicking away triggers auto-save; if values revert, check your internet connection

  • For detail panel edits, make sure you click Save — it will be enabled once you've made a change

  • Try refreshing the page and editing again

Issue: Can't edit certain fields

Symptom: Fields appear read-only or grayed out

Solution:

  • Reshared products (sourced from a vendor) have locked fields such as title and description

  • For reshared products you can still edit: Price, Markup %, Lead time, Status, Tags

  • To change locked fields, contact the original vendor or duplicate the product to create an independent copy

Issue: Price calculations seem wrong

Symptom: Markup % or price doesn't match expectations

Solution:

  • Markup formula: ((Price - Cost) / Cost) × 100

  • Example: Cost $100, Price $150 = 50% markup (not 33% margin)

  • Verify the Cost field is correct — it affects both Markup % and Price calculations
