Edit Products

Vendors can edit products in their own product catalog. Use this when product information changes or when an existing product needs to be corrected.

​

What can be changed?

A vendor can update product details such as: The exact fields shown can depend on the user interface and serializer configuration.

​

Who can update products?

Only vendors can edit products that belong to their own vendor company. Mathership checks that:

• The vendor company exists
• The logged-in user owns the vendor company
• The product exists
• The product belongs to that vendor company

​

Updating product details

Use product editing to keep your catalog accurate. Common changes include:

• Correcting a product name
• Updating a product number
• Changing the packaging text
• Updating stock
• Adding or changing a description
• Updating the price
• Replacing a product image

​

Changing prices

Prices can be updated on the product. If a product has a price, Mathership can use it later for order totals and exports.

​

Updating stock

Stock can be updated when changing product information. If the stock field is empty, missing, or set to null, Mathership can treat it as 0. Use stock values to help customers and vendors understand whether a product is currently available.

​

Changing product images

When changing a product image, vendors can use: If a new custom image is uploaded or a new image URL is used, the old stored image may be removed.

​

Automatic product images

Automatic product image mode can be used when the product should no longer use a custom image. When automatic image mode is selected:

• The existing custom image can be removed
• The product is marked as not using a custom image
• The image URL can be cleared

This is useful when you want Mathership to handle product images automatically again.

​

Typical workflow

1. Open your vendor company
2. Go to Products
3. Find the product you want to edit
4. Open the product
5. Change the product information
6. Save the changes
7. Review the product in the catalog

​

Example: Update a price

A vendor wants to update the price of a product.

​

Example: Correct packaging

A vendor notices that the packaging text is wrong.

​

Example: Replace an image

A vendor wants to use a better product image.

​

Editing or deleting?

Editing keeps the product in the catalog. Deleting removes the product from the active catalog.

​

Product data or availability?

Updating product data is different from changing product availability.

​

Common problems

​

Product cannot be edited

Check that:

• You are logged in as a vendor
• You opened the correct vendor company
• The product belongs to this vendor company
• The product still exists

​

Changes are not visible

Check that:

• The product was saved
• The product list was refreshed
• You are viewing the correct vendor company
• The field you changed is shown in the current view

​

Image did not update

Check that:

• The uploaded file was accepted
• The image URL is valid
• Automatic product image mode was not selected
• The product was saved after changing the image

​

Price looks wrong

Check that:

• The price was entered in the expected number format
• The product was saved
• The customer is viewing the updated product
• The order was created after the price update

​

Best practices

​

Keep names consistent

Use clear product names so customers can find the correct item.

​

Use product numbers carefully

Product numbers help match products during uploads and updates.

​

Keep prices current

Updated prices improve order totals and exports.

​

Use availability for temporary changes

If a product is temporarily out of stock, change availability instead of deleting the product.

​

Review image changes

After changing an image, check how the product appears in the customer catalog.
