#Product Deduplication by UPC/Barcode

When importing products from multiple dropshippers, products are automatically grouped by their UPC/barcode to prevent duplicates.

#How It Works

1. When you import a product, the system checks if a product with the same UPC/barcode already exists in your catalog
2. If found: The dropshipper is added as an alternate supplier to the existing product
3. If not found: A new product is created

#Benefits

Benefit	Description
No duplicates	One product listing even when available from multiple suppliers
Price comparison	Compare pricing across dropshippers
Supplier selection	Choose which supplier fulfills each order
Aggregated stock	Total stock shown is the sum across all suppliers

#Multi-Supplier Products

When a product has multiple suppliers:

• View all suppliers on the product details page in the Suppliers card
• Set a Preferred Supplier for automatic fulfillment
• Stock quantity shows the total across all suppliers
• Expand product rows in the products list to see all suppliers

#Stock Calculation

Product stock is automatically calculated as the sum of all supplier stock. When any supplier's inventory updates, the product's total stock is recalculated.

#Manual Fulfillment

When automatic fulfillment is disabled in Settings > Fulfillment, you can manually select which dropshipper fulfills each item in an order. The order details page shows:

• A comparison table of all available suppliers
• Price, stock, and SKU for each supplier
• The ability to select different suppliers for different items
