The Marketplace tab gives you a unified view of products across all your connected distributors. Browse, search, and compare live pricing and availability — then add products directly to your Salesbuildr catalog.

Marketplace requires at least one distributor to be connected. Configure your distributor connections at Admin > Distributors.

Browsing the marketplace

Navigate to Products > Marketplace to open the distributor marketplace.

  • Search — find products by name, MPN, or keyword across all connected distributors

  • Filter by distributor/category — narrow results by distributor and category using the combined filter panel

  • Live pricing — prices and stock levels are fetched in real time from distributor APIs

View modes

Switch between two display modes using the icons in the toolbar:

  • List view — table showing MPN, product image, product name and description, and distributor availability with prices per distributor

  • Column view — card grid showing product image, name, MPN, manufacturer, description, and availability

Adding products to your catalog

Import a single product

Click Add to catalog (or Import) next to any product to import it into your Salesbuildr catalog. The product is pre-filled with description, specifications, images, and manufacturer data from the distributor feed, and you are prompted to assign it to a category.

If a product is already in your catalog, a link to the existing product appears instead of the import button.

Bulk import selected products

Select multiple products using the checkboxes and click Bulk import to import them all at once. Bulk import is available to users with the product.manage permission.

Import all results

Click Import all to import every product in your current search results into your catalog. This button:

  • Requires a PSA integration to be configured

  • Has a maximum product limit — the button is disabled if the result count exceeds that limit

  • Requires the product.manage permission

A results dialog shows the import progress and outcome for each product.

Import Queries

Import Queries let you save a search configuration (category, distributor, manufacturer, and other filters) as a reusable import rule. Access them via the See import queries button.

Each saved query shows:

  • The target category

  • Distributor, manufacturer, and other active filters

  • The search query text

  • Date created

  • A preview of how many products would be imported

You can delete queries (requires product.manage). Queries are useful for regularly refreshing your catalog with products from a specific distributor and category.

Pricing priority

When the same product is available from multiple distributors, Salesbuildr applies your distributor priority settings to determine the default price shown. The marketplace shows live availability and pricing from each connected distributor side by side, so you can compare before importing.

Understanding Marketplace search results and MPN availability

The Salesbuildr marketplace searches across active distributor data feeds. If a product does not appear when you search by MPN, this typically means one of the following:

  • The product is not present in the current distributor feed.

  • The MPN may appear in your own product catalogue (showing as 'unavailable') but this is not the same as appearing in the live marketplace feed.

  • Some distributors only include products in their feed if the item is currently orderable or in stock.

Troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check whether the product appears in your own catalogue vs. the marketplace — these are separate sources.

  2. Confirm which distributor you expect to stock the product (e.g. Exclusive Networks) and verify that this distributor is connected and its feed is active under Admin > Distributors.

  3. Try a partial MPN or product name search — some distributor feeds may index the product under a slightly different identifier.

  4. If the product should be in the feed but is not appearing, contact support with the expected distributor name and MPN so the feed data can be checked.
