How to import products from multiple vendor tags to a single supplier

If you want to import products from multiple vendor tags into a single supplier, Shopify’s automated collections can help.

Here’s how to create and use an automated collection in the app:

Step 1: Create a smart collection in Shopify

Go to Products > Collections and click Create collection. You’ll see a form to set up a new collection — follow these steps to fill it out:

• Publishing - deselect all options (in the red box). This ensures the collection won’t appear on your Storefront and is only used for importing in the app.
• Collection type - select Smart.
• Conditions - add conditions based on the vendor tags you want to import. Include as many as needed.

Step 2: Go to the app and open the supplier for which you want to import products

In the Auto Purchase Orders app, open the supplier you want to import products for and click the Configure button.

In the product import settings, ensure you select Specific collections and choose your newly created collection. After saving the settings, click the Sync now button in the top-right corner.
