Fler operates as the main online marketplace for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where users can buy and sell products created using various handicraft techniques. Fler acts as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of these products, without selling any goods itself.
For those who find success on the Fler platform and wish to expand and elevate their business, establishing their own e-shop can be a suitable step. Having your own e-shop allows entrepreneurs to have full control over their store, brand, and marketing strategies, which can lead to better results and increased sales.
Moreover, running your own e-shop eliminates the need to pay commissions to the Fler platform for facilitating sales. This way, entrepreneurs can save money that would otherwise go towards commissions and retain a larger portion of their business profits.
Product Transfer Process
To transfer products without manually entering them into the Upgates system, you first need to export the data. This can be done in CSV format (common Excel format) and then adjusted according to our documentation or directly imported using the configurator. The configurator allows you to practically tell the system that column A contains product code information, column B the product name, and so on.
