Our bulk upload feature has been updated 🙌.

We've added the ability to upload your product costs using the product file from SellerBoard, which will:

  • Save you time

  • Improve cost accuracy

  • Streamline your workflow

If you're using SellerBoard and you enter your costs on it then you can now export your product file from SellerBoard and import it into Link My Books to update all your product costs.

How to upload costs from SellerBoard to Link My Books

Step 1: Export your Product file from SellerBoard:

Screenshot of the “Products” page in Sellerboard. The left sidebar menu is visible with a red arrow pointing to the “Products” option under “Inventory.” In the main section, a list of product entries is shown, including titles, ASINs, SKUs, and prices. At the bottom of the list, another red arrow points to the “Export” button next to “Import” and “Show Hidden.”  Let me know if you need a shorter version or if this will be used in a specific accessibility setting!

Step 2: Open the file and save it as a .csv file instead of a .xls file as Link My Books only accepts uploads in .csv format.

Step 3: Upload your file to Link My books via the Product Costs page:

Screenshot of the “Product Costs” page in Link My Books. An arrow points to the “Bulk Upload” button, which opens a modal window titled “Bulk Upload COGS.” Inside the modal, there is a “Download” button to get the template file and an “Upload” button (also highlighted with an arrow) for uploading completed cost data. There's also a drag-and-drop file area.  Let me know if you want a version optimized for screen readers or a more concise version!

How the bulk upload from SellerBoard works

When you upload your SellerBoard product file we use the SKU, Title and Cost columns to update the information in your Link My Books account.

If a row contains the SKU, Title and Cost fields then we will update the Product Name and Cost in Link My Books.

If a row is missing the Title field but the SKU and Cost are available then we will only update the cost in our system.

If a row is missing either the SKU or the Cost then we will ignore it.

FAQ's

Can I upload new SKUs?

By default, we only allow updates via bulk upload for SKUs already in our database. However, if you contact us we can change this on your account so that you can upload new SKUs that are not yet in Link My Books and we will then add them for you.

How does Link My Books handle SellerBoard Costs that are batch/period based?

When you upload or update costs in Link My Books we automatically refresh any settlements that have not yet been sent to your bookkeeping platform. When they are refreshed the new costs are applied. If a settlement is already sent then it is not automatically refreshed and so the costs are not updated.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this new feature or have any other feature suggestions then please get in touch with the support team.
