Products

We have implemented many features to improve how you interact with your Products.

View Products by Bottlenose vs Self-Managed

You can now view a lists of Products by clicking on the pie chart on your Products Dashboard. View lists of Products you're managing yourself, or those we're managing for you.

Product Category Requirement

Due to its importance to so many systems (case-discounting, shipping states, etc.), a category is now required for every Product available online. To go along with this, you can now quickly see which of your Products are missing a category and add one easily. Look for the "Unclassified Products Box" on your Products Dashboard

Recently Managed Products

You can now view a recap of recent Product Management performed by Bottlenose staff.

If Bottlenose is unable to identify a Product you've provided to us to manage, we will let you know. View pending Alerts from your Products dashboard in the "Product Alerts" box.
