- Start of the collaboration
The first step for collaborating with Mercateo is the registration and exchanging of all the necessary information.
See: Become a supplier
After successfully registering as a supplier or manufacturer, you receive access to a personal FTP account at Mercateo. Via this FTP account, you make your catalogue available to Mercateo and update it independently.
Further information on the technical and content-related requirements are provided under "technical information"
Before a new supplier goes live online, Mercateo checks the quality of the catalogue.
The quality criteria are: item descriptions, EAN numbers, manufacturer numbers, the number of pictures and datasheets, order units and packaging units.
If the catalogue check is successfully completed and you have agreed to the catalogue, the catalogue will go live online.
As a supplier you regularly update your catalogue over the course of the collaboration. With every new catalogue version you receive a report should any errors occur.
