BLAZE makes it easy to add per-province cannabis product information
Important: Importing is available for all provinces, however, BC/AB/ON have product catalogues that include SKU numbers for their cannabis products. Other provinces will have to manually add SKUs for their cannabis products.
For information on adding products manually, read here.
Customers are able to import multiple products at the same time or single products from the catalogue. BLAZE updates cannabis product data at least once a week. We rely on our customers to send us product catalogue data, therefore please email them to support-ca@blaze.me
When you add a product, look for the "Import from" button above the Basic Information section. A pop-up will appear where you will be able to access the catalogue. Here you can search for products by name. For BC/AB/ON, searching by SKU is available as well, other provinces do not have this function. Once you locate the product, the information for that product will populate the attributes.
Note:
To import multiple products/variants under one parent product folder at a time. The inventory settings need to be "This product has variants".
If you are only importing one (1) product that does not or will not have variants, the inventory settings need to be "This product is standalone".
