Vendor Creation

At Topsort, the vendor is your advertiser. If you operate a marketplace, this means the vendor is the entity selling products on your platform. Vendors are linked to your product catalog, and you can grant members access to their analytics or self-service features. New vendors are automatically created when you sync your catalog with Topsort.

Topsort also allows the creation of vendors using the user interface, providing full parity with our existing catalog APIs. This feature addresses customer requests for a simpler way to create first-party vendors, enabling them to run campaigns and test the platform faster.

How It Works

There is a simple form to create and bulk upload vendors. Every vendor has a name, an external ID, and an optional picture. Once a vendor is created, its ID cannot be changed.

Bulk Upload

A bulk upload tool is available, allowing up to 100 vendors to be created at once. If needed, a sample file can be downloaded.

To assign products from the catalog to a vendor, refer to our Ad Server - Catalog documentation.
