Help assigning product id for e-commerce site? [closed]
- by Stanford Sequeira
I am starting an e-commerce marketplace. I am new to e-commerce, but I am taking it up as a challenge. I will have multiple vendors on my site and they will upload their products through CSV files for bulk upload.
However there will be certain popular products already listed in the database, they can add those to their listing (like Amazon for 3rd party sellers).
I have no idea how to assign product codes for every product, can you help me out? I'm talking about something like Amazon's ASIN number. Or may be is it possible to let vendors assign their own numbers? How does that work?
