POP! Overview Steps

POP! Stands for Product Onboarding Platform. It is Zulily's unique portal for vendors to set up NEW offerings and build out their Product Catalogs for use by your Zulily buying team. POP! has easy-to-follow instructions with detailed examples ensuring the whole process is seamless

Disclaimer

POP! is typically used for uploading new styles into the Zulily catalog. Zulily encourages vendors to cross-check with their Active SKUs before uploading through POP to update existing styles. If a new product/size offering needs to be added to existing styles, they will both be listed on the template so they are correctly grouped and referenced; otherwise, the template will be all new offerings.

Step 1): Template

Identify, Download, Fill & Upload the template

Templates are set up based on division, sub-division, and product type. Each template has general and unique core attributes that are required, highly recommended, or optional.

Yellow = Required

Dark Green = Highly Recommended

White = Optional

It is best to fill in as much info on the template before uploading to POP!. This will eliminate the need to do more work later on.

For details on how to fill in templates be sure to review the ‘How To’ guide.

Tip: Fill in the following columns prior to uploading a template to POP!. These values can be corrected in the next step, but completing them on the template will save time!

• Vendor Image Main
• Is Electric
• Includes Batteries

Step 2): Matching & Fixing

After the template has been completed and uploaded, look for purple markers 'Match' & 'Fix'

When you see the 'Match' button this means the system recognizes one of the styles uploaded as a potential reused item.

Tip: Complete the 'Match' option first! This will help reduce the risk of duplicates.

When you see 'Fix' this means items are new and need additional review before they are ready to be available in the catalog

You can find an in-depth guide on how to navigate the Match & Fix workflow in the 'Fix Workflow' guide and the 'Match Workflow' guide.

Common values that need to be filled in during this step:

• Vendor Images
• Is Electric
• Includes Batteries
• Age Group

Tip: This is the step where you will be able to see if styles are being set up correctly. If you are creating items with multiple sizes, style cards will look stacked. 

This step is where you will want to pause and evaluate if any information uploaded needs to be reset/deleted.

How do I delete a product that was uploaded?

You can delete 'New' styles in bulk or 1:1 by using the trash can option. In-depth steps on how to delete styles uploaded can be found Here. 

Goal: Set up styles so they meet a 'Minimum Met' status. This status will allow your new products to become available for your buying teams.

Step 3): Styles are set. What next?

Once required attributes have been provided to your products, styles will be listed as 'Minimum Met' status. You will need to notify your Buying Team (by direct email or using the 'Notify Buyers' button) so they can initiate our internal process to have the provided information approved.
