Why should I define vendor entity in Topsort's catalog integration?

Optimizing Catalog Integration with Topsort

In Topsort's catalog integration, a vendor entity embodies a specific advertiser, whether it's a manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, or retailer. These entities are keen on promoting their brands or products within a marketplace. This structured approach ensures that the catalog remains organized and searchable, simplifying the process for users to discover and select desired products or vendors for promotion.

For sponsored listings or banner ads, consider this common use cases:

  • The vendor showcases specific products in promoted slots, where the target of the auction is a product. To explore this further, check out the Topsorted Shops Marketplace demo video.



When integrating a catalog, each vendor entity is categorized, allowing Topsort to efficiently manage and display products with precision.


Ultimately, defining vendor entities in Topsort's catalog integration empowers businesses to:

  • Effectively manage product offerings
  • Track sales performance
  • Provide a seamless shopping experience to users
