Products & Departments

Upload a Product Catalog and assign Department Maps from this sub-tab. Once the catalog is uploaded, departments will be generated from your list and you can upload maps.

Product Catalog

The product catalog tells Pepper the products name and department. Our template also includes category and brand, but are not specifically needed to get a working product catalog downloaded. Your product catalog needs to be uploaded before you can assign maps.

Download Our Template

Follow these instructions to locate the template link.

1. To locate the provided template, click +Add Products & Departments under one of your groups.
2. At the top of the page under Product Catalog, click Download Template.
3. This will open an Excel (or similar program).
4. Add in all product names, their department, the brand, and category for the product.
5. Save as a .csv file to enable uploading.

Use Your Own Product Template

If you have your own product template, feel free to save it as a .cvs file in order to upload it. Be aware that:

1. The Product category name needs to be name, no capitol N or extra identifiers. A product catalog will not upload without it.
2. The Department category name needs to be department, no capital letters or extra identifiers. A product catalog will upload without this, but not recognize any departments. If it doesn't recognize your departments, you cannot add maps.

Upload a Catalog and Assign Department Maps

Once you have a product catalog ready that includes at least names and departments of products, follow these instructions.

1. Click +Add Products & Department in your desired group.
2. In the dotted box, drag your .cvs product catalog file to upload or click browse to locate it on your computer.
3. Once your product catalog has been uploaded, the website will generate the list of departments.
4. Next to the department name, click Upload Map.
5. A pop up with your assets will appear. Select your map and click Select this file.
6. Click Done when you've uploaded all your maps.

Edit and Replace your Product Catalog

Any editing or deleting of products and departments has to be done on the Product Catalog created outside the website.

1. Once you have edited your Product Catalog file and saved it again as a .csv, click Replace.
2. Select your new Product Catalog from your computer, and click Open.
3. Any departments that were renamed or added will need to have a map added.
4. Click Done.
