Set up your account and start selling multichannel in less than a minute. Here’s a brief tutorial that will help you get started as quickly as possible. For any further support, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Step 0: What kind of seller are you?

There’s only one thing you need to pay attention to when setting up your Nembol account:

Do you already have your products listed on 2 or more channels? In this case, you need to “CONNECT” your listings.
Do you have your products on 1 channel only, or none? Then, you need to “PUBLISH”.

In both cases, Nembol will be able to sync your products and inventory.

Now we’ll tell you exactly what you need to do depending on your case.

How to connect listings across channels

If you want to connect listings across 2 or more channels, please note that:

Your listings must have the same variations across every channel.
Your listings must have identical and matching SKU codes.

Step 1: Connect your channels

In either case, the first thing you should do is connecting at least one channel to Nembol.

If you want to CONNECT listings, start with your main channel. This will be the source of truth for the inventory.
If you have your products on 1 channel only, connect this one.

This is the list of our currently supported integrations.

How to connect a new channel

Generally speaking, you need to:

Go to the Channels Tab.
Click on the “+” button.
Click on the channel you want to connect, and follow the instructions displayed on video.
You’ll be immediately transferred on a page on the channel’s website, where you’ll be asked by the channel to grant the necessary authorizations to the Nembol app.
Once this step is completed, you’ll be returned into Nembol App, with your desired channel connected and ready to be set up.

Congrats!

Step 2: Import your listings

The next thing you want to do is importing your listings into Nembol.

Importing listings: methods

At the moment, you have two ways of importing listings into Nembol:

Direct import from Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, and PrestaShop. This is the most modern way, and what we advise.
Import via CSV file. This is used to get products from legacy systems such as Point of Sale (POS) systems or Warehouse Management Systems. CSV export-import is also used to apply bulk edits to masses of listings at once, for instance adding barcodes.

You can import listings from your accounts only. Nembol can’t import listings via URL or from other sellers’ accounts.

How to filter the import

During the free trial, and later if you subscribed to certain plans, you can filter the items that will be imported by accessing the “Import” settings:

Go to the Channels Tab.
Find the channel you want to import listings from (on the left-hand side of the page)
Click on the “Import” section.
Adjust the filters in the right pane of the page.

The available filters depend on the channel. In the screenshot below you see an example of how the filters look like for on channel. Note that filters are available during the free-trial period, and later to users who subcribe to the Pro plan, and higher plans.

How to start a direct import

To run the import from a channel, you need to:

Go to the Products Tab.
Click on the “Import” button which you will find top right.
Select “Import from Channel”.
Choose the Channel from which you wish to import.
Click the “Import from Channel” button.
Now the import has started.

You can see the status of your import in the Activities Tab, which you will find bottom left in the main menu.

Please note: When choosing the channel, you’ll see an overview of the settings you have chosen. If you want to change one or more settings, click on the Settings button, and you’ll be sent directly back to the channel’s settings. Once you changed them, settings will be automatically saved. Now start again with the import.

The import may take a while, depending on how many products you have. You can check the status of your import in the Activities Tab.

While Nembol is importing your products, you can go ahead and connect more channels.

Nembol creates no duplicates

Nembol doesn’t import a product from a given channel which is already in Nembol imported from that same channel.

This means that:

You can run multiple imports from the same source, and Nembol will pull in new listings only.
If you have the same product more than once in a given channel, and you import, Nembol will import all instances of that product from that channel.
If you delete a product in Nembol, but you do not delete in the channel, when you import again in Nembol, that product will be imported again.

How to import from a CSV file

Please, read a dedicated tutorial on importing via CSV here: How to import products from a CSV file.

During the free-trial, you can list up to 10 listings per channel.

Step 3: Connect listings across channels

This section is meant for sellers who need to connect their existing listings across channels.
If you need to publish your listings instead, skip to the next section.

How to connect listings

Connecting listings across channels is an easy task.

All you have to do is running consecutive imports from each of your channels, starting with your main channel. Nembol will analyze your listings and connect them to each other if they have matching variations and SKU codes.

On your Activities Tab, you can check how many products have been:

Imported – this is the total amount of imported products.
Linked – of your imported products, how many are linked.

Nembol will analyze your listings and connect them to each other if they have matching variations and SKU codes.

Listings that have been connected will show two or more channel icons on the Products Tab.

Please note: Always wait for the previous import to be complete before starting a new one, so that products that should link actually surely find their homologue products.

More detailed information can be found here: Link listings across multiple channels

Step 4: Publish your listings

Once your products have been imported into Nembol, you can publish them to every connected channel.

How to change Publish settings

All of our channels have dedicated settings that will help you publish your listings more effectively:

Go to the Channels Tab.
Pick a channel of choice.
Click on the “Publish” section

Here you will find some useful settings like pricing rules, inventory limits, VAT rates, product conditions, etc. You can also pick categories and collections. All will differ per channel.

How to publish listings on additional channels

Go to the Products Tab.
Click on the “Filter” button.
Choose which filter you want.
Select the products you want to publish to a channel (up to 500 at a time).
Click on the “Publish to” button.
Select the channels you want to publish on, and click on “Publish Products” to confirm.
You can see the status of your publish in the Activities Tab, bottom left in the main menu.

Products that have been correctly published will display two or more channel icons in your Nembol Products Tab.

Please note: because listing rules may vary from channel to channel, make sure there are no error signs next to your listings.

A more detailed guide can be found here: How to cross-post products on multiple channels

Step 5: Activate the syncs

Your products are now successfully listed or linked on multiple channels. It’s time to activate the syncs.

The Sync Settings for your Channels are on the same page in the Channels Tab (see Screenshot below).

In the Edit settings, you can select for which channels you wish the following functions activated:

Quantity sync towards Nembol: choose which channels you want to sync the quantity and Nembol will sync the inventory when sales occur.
Content update from Nembol: Edits made on (or synced to Nembol) will be synced to the channels you chose.
Leading channel: choose what single channel should lead stock and content changes, when the same product is listed on more channels. Currently works with Shopify channels only.
Transfer orders: Nembol will create a copy of your multichannel orders in your Shopify backend. All you have to do is choose which channels should send orders to Shopify.

That’s it, your account is up and running. For any kind of question or need, don’t hesitate to contact us via mail or via in-app chat.

Enjoy Nembol!
