3A: ADDING YOUR ITEMS (FOR SKU GRID USERS)

Step 1: If you're a Sku Grid user, the process of adding items to Check My Profits will be very easy. Click Add New List.

Step 2: A name for your Marketplace. This could be where you are syncing your items from (such as My Sku Grid Items) or it could be just the name of the marketplace you sell on. You can name it how you see fit.

Step 3: Next, enter your Total fees in percentages. Enter the total amount of fees to sell on your marketplace as well as any payment processing fees that you may have. This will be used in determining estimated profit.

Step 4: Next, since you're a Sku Grid user, you're going to paste in your Sku Grid Remote Key so that your supplier and marketplace listing urls can be imported in to Check My Profits for further monitoring.

Step 5: Log into your Sku Grid account and Click Settings.

Step 6: Click Remote API

Step 7: Right Click and Copy your Sku Grid Remote Key

Step 8: Go back to your Check My Profits account and Right Click and Paste in the Sku Grid Remote Key that you just copied.

Step 9: Click Create to create your list.

Step 10: You will see a green alert letting you know that X amount of items have been added. 

Step 11: If you have a red alert, that means that some items were missing some data and therefore cannot be added.

Step 12: To see that your items have started to import, Click Lists.

Step 13: Click the name of the list that you just created

Step 14: Uncheck the box to Hide records that are pending. When you first import the items, they are in a pending status, so with this option checked, they will not display. So if you're just wanting to see the items, while pending, you can uncheck it.

Step 15: Hold your Control (Ctrl) button and Click each of the 4 statuses so that all items display.  These are filters to help you sort your data.

Step 16: Click Search

Step 17: That's it. You're done. You'll start to see your items in a "Pending Update" status below. They will display your supplier urls, marketplace item urls, estimated profit, and stock status. This grid will be explained more in another tutorial.

Step 1: From inside of Check My Profits, click Add New List on the left.

Step 2: Enter a Name of marketplace. Your list name can be whatever you want it to be. It can represent what tool you're using, what marketplace you're selling on, or even just the fact that they were added by CSV. It's up to you.

Step 3: Enter your Total fees in percentages. These are your marketplace selling fees.  This is used to determine estimated profit. For example, total selling fees for eBay are about 13% (9-10% for eBay and 2.9%+ $0.30 transaction fee for PayPal).

Step 4: You can skip over the Sku Grid Remote Key section if you're not using Sku Grid and are adding items via CSV.  You'll see the last section says Import list of items in csv format.

Step 5: Note: for your CSV file, you will only need 2 column headers in this exact order supplier url, item url.  Item url is the link to your listing in your selling marketplace.

Step 6: In your spreadsheet software, make 2 columns with the following column headers supplier url and item url exactly as shown.

Step 7: Go down to Row 2 of your CSV.  This row will contain your first row of actual data.

Step 8: Paste in your supplier url in the supplier url column.

Step 9: Paste in your marketplace listing link in the item url column.

Step 10: Move to the next row and so on to fill out the information for all of the items that you need to ad.

Step 11: Once you are done adding your items, Click File

Step 12: Hover over Download as

Step 13: Click Comma-separated values (.csv, current sheet)

Step 14: Go back to your tab that has Check My Profits opened and Click Choose file

Step 15: Browse for and upload the CSV file that you saved on your computer and Click Create

Step 16: Once processed, you'll see alerts. The green alert will let you know how many items have been successfully added.

Step 17: If you have a red alert, it's because certain rows of data could not be imported.

Step 18: Click the here link to go to the report about errored items.

Step 19: To view your imported items, Click Lists

Step 20: Click on the name of the List that you created in the previous steps.

Step 21: Since they are still processing, you would have to uncheck the box for Hide records that are pending

Step 22: Hold your Control Button (Ctrl) + Click Each Status under Stock Type to display all items.

Step 23: Click Search

Step 24: Now, you'll see your pending items that are "hidden" by default and that they are still "pending update" at this time, but they have been imported.

Step 25: Now that you have a list created, you can come back and import more items later via CSV just by clicking Import Items

Step 26: Then browse for your CSV file and submit.  That's all you need to do to continue to add items easily to Check My Profits.

Step 27: That's it. You've successfully imported a CSV file from any repricing tool into Check My Profits! Now you can make sure that your repricer is working correctly!

Step 1: If you have not already created a list, you'll need to click Add New List on the left.

Step 2: Enter the Name of marketplace or what you want to name this list.

Step 3: Enter your Total fees in percentages. These are your total selling fees.  This includes your marketplace fees and payment/transaction fees. For eBay, the total fees are roughly 13%, so we'll use 13 in the example.

Step 4: Skip over the Sku Grid Remote Key and Import List sections and just simply Click Create

Step 5: To add your items individually, Click Add Item

Step 6: Paste in your Supplier URL

Step 7: Paste in your marketplace Item URL

Step 8: Click Create

Step 9: You've successfully added an item. If you want to check on it, you can uncheck the box that says  Hide records that are pending

Step 10: Hold Control (Ctrl) + click each of the statuses shown so that you'll be able to display all items.

Step 11: Click Search

Step 12: Now you'll see that your added item is there, but in a pending status.

Step 13: Going forward, when adding new items, you can navigate to your created list and click the green Add Item button to manually add individual items again.

Step 1: The first step is to open Check My Profits and click Lists

Step 2: Select the List that you created and you would like to view. In this example, we will click My Sku Grid Items

Step 3: You'll notice that Hide records that are pending is hidden by default as you may not need to see items that are just added to Check My Profits, but if you want to display them, you can uncheck this option.

Step 4: The next area in your list is a filter for Stock Type. By default, when you view a list, it is only displaying items that are either in stock at supplier & your listing and items that are OOS at supplier but in stock on your listings.

Step 5: You can select/deselect any of these filters to customize what Check My Profits is displaying to you. Or you can select all 4 statuses to see everything in your Check My Profits account.

Step 6: For this tutorial, we'll select all 4 statuses to display all.

Step 7: Click Search

Step 8: Your filtered results will display. In the grid, you'll notice the following column headers, Time checked which is when the item was last checked. CMP only checks items once per day.

Step 9: Supplier Title - This is title of the item at your supplier.

Step 10: User Title - This is the title of your marketplace listing. If the item has been removed from your marketplace, you may see Item has been removed displaying for the user title.

Step 11: Stock - This column displays whether or not your supplier and your marketplace item are out of stock or in stock at the moment.

Step 12: Profit, $ - This column displays the estimated profit of your items based on current selling price, supplier price, and the amount you put in for fees in your list settings.

Step 13: Stock - The stock column displays an indicator if your item has a stock level that you should pay attention to. Red means the supplier is OOS and your listing is still in stock. Yellow means your item is showing OOS but the supplier is in stock.

Step 14: The last column has a blank column header, but it is for Actions that can be taken on your items such as edit or delete.

Step 15: There are Bulk operations that you can perform on selected items in your Check My Profits Account.

Step 16: There's an option to Delete selected

Step 17: Or Export Selected, which would export the selected items to a CSV.

Step 18: Under Time checked, you'll see the last time the item was checked by Check My Profits. CMP only checks your items once per day.

Step 19: A Red Circle in the stock column means that either your repricer did not adjust your item to OOS or ended yet, as your listing is still in stock at your marketplace.

Step 20: A Yellow Circle means that your supplier is in stock and your item is still OOS in your selling marketplace. While it's still an indication that your repricer isn't working properly, it's less urgent.

Step 21: When you click the pencil icon on an item to update it, you'll be able to revise the supplier url and item url.

Step 22: With your mouse, select text in Supplier URL

Step 23: You can continue to use Check My Profits to monitor the profitability of your items and detect problems with your repricing tool early on. We will also send you email notifications based on your settings.
