Using advanced catalog services to set up your products
Advanced catalog services is designed to help you get products listed faster and give you greater visibility into the setup process. As a supplier, you are required to use advanced catalog services to add all rich product data, including images, for any products you wish to sell on Belk's website. To learn more, go to Advanced Catalog Services for Suppliers.
Note: Advanced catalog services is different from the Catalog templates that are used to provide product data to your retail partner. For more information about uploading default Dsco Catalog/Inventory templates using the Inventory page, see Creating or Updating Inventory.
Important: Once you’ve added your product data to the Dsco platform, you must also add the SKUs to your inventory in OrderStream. Be aware that specific matching criteria must be met. For Belk, the GTIN in the Dsco platform must match the Vendor SKU in OrderStream. For more information about updating your inventory in OrderStream, visit HubHelp.
