Aliases

Aliases enable the existence of multiple identifiers (IDs such as SKU) for a single product. If your product has an ID external to Acenda that differs from its Acenda ID, entering it as an alias will connect that external ID to the Acenda ID and product so that the Acenda ID can be used or changed without losing any connections with the external ID. You can then use the external ID (alias) for specific marketplaces while using the Acenda ID for all other marketplaces.

To create an alias, follow these steps:

  1. On the sidebar under Data Management, click Items.

  2. Search for the desired product by name or ID and click View to its right.

  3. Click the Aliases tab.

  4. Click Add New Alias.

  5. Select the subscription (marketplace or other integration) you wish to use the alias for from the dropdown menu.

  6. Enter the external IDs (aliases) in their respective fields. Note: Acenda currently only supports SKU aliases

Click Add.
