Managing your products

Edit a product, hide it, and change many products at once.

What the product status means

Bulk import

Add dozens of products at once: from photos on your device, a Telegram channel or an online store.

The key ruleEvery imported product is saved hidden. After publishing, go back to Products and activate them with bulk edit (section 3).

From photos on your device

  1. Choose استيراد (Import) in the menu and stay on the رفع صور (Upload photos) tab.
  2. Open إعدادات افتراضية لجميع المنتجات (defaults for all products) and choose the الفئة (category); it applies to the whole batch.
  3. Press انقر لاختيار الصور (choose photos). Each photo becomes one product.
  4. If several photos show the same product, select them and press دمج في منتج واحد (merge into one product).
  5. Enter a name, price and stock for each. To give all the same price use سعر موحّد (one price) then تطبيق (apply).
  6. Press نشر (Publish). Wait until each tile shows ✓ منشور (مخفي) (published, hidden).

From a Telegram channel

  1. On a computer open Telegram Desktop, then the channel → ⋮ → Export chat history.
  2. Choose photos and videos, format JSON, and export.
  3. Compress the exported folder into a ZIP file.
  4. On the من Telegram tab, enter the dollar rate if any prices are in dollars, then press اضغط لاختيار ملف ZIP (choose ZIP file).
  5. Check each product's name and price, then نشر (Publish).
How Telegram posts are read

Every post with a caption starts a new product; photos after it without a caption join that product.

The price is read from a line such as «السعر: 15 الف» (الف means ×1000). Small numbers without «الف» are left blank for you to fill in.

If the caption gives a dozen price, «(درزن)» is added to the name; decide whether you sell the dozen or single pieces and fix the price.

From an online store (Shopify or WooCommerce)

Paste the store address and press جلب المنتجات or قراءة المتجر (fetch / read store), pick the products, then add them to the list and publish. Prices are read as Iraqi dinars, so check every price before publishing.

Don't leave the pageNothing is saved until you press نشر (Publish). Refreshing or leaving the page loses the list.

What the assistant can't doThe assistant replies to your customers instantly, but it sells only your active products that can be bought straight away at their price, not auctions or live-stream products.
