What is a Universal Listing?

The single master record for an item that every marketplace listing is built from.

A Universal Listing holds the item's core facts once: title, description, photos, condition, price, quantity, SKU and item specifics.

When you publish to a marketplace, Crossflo creates a marketplace child listing from it. Change the Universal Listing and you can push the change to each channel.

Why it matters

  • One place to edit, one quantity to trust.
  • Selling on one channel can end the others, because they all point to the same item.
  • Imports link to existing items instead of creating copies.
