RSIN – Seller Center – Shop Workflow

September 12, 2017

Use cases and the steps involved in the interactions between RSIN Provider, Seller Center and Shop.

As a Seller I want to add a new product manually	Search after similar If the feature “Shared Catalog” is enabled, similar products from a different country can be listed as results. In most cases shared catalog is enabled if product metadata (categories, attribute sets, etc.) are identical.	Click on ‘Sell yours’ When clicking on “Sell Yours”, the product form will be reconstructed from all attributes beside prices/stock and seller sku which will be listed as empty. When ‘Shared catalog’ feature is enabled the product form will reconstruct out of a product listed in a different country, but without images. For each attribute a setting is available to allow or not sellers to overwrite the product attributes from Sell Yours. Additionally the brand is always blocked. RSIN will be pushed to the Shop on Product Creation along with other product details.
As a Seller I want to create a product based on an existing listing in the shop See details	Render product form If the source listing has an RSIN, that one will be transferred to the newly created product. RSIN will be pushed to the Shop on Product Creation along with other product details.	For each attribute a setting is available to allow or not sellers to overwrite the product attributes from sell yours. Additionally the brand is always blocked.
As a Seller I want to copy a product from my own catalog to create a similar one	When using the Copy Product feature, the RSIN is not carried over the copy, since Seller Center assumes that the copy will not be the same product of the source one. All attributes of the copy are therefore editable and the regular product creation flow takes place.
As a Seller I want to create products in Bulk via CSV/XLS or API	When the feature ‘Auto match on AutoQC’ is off, all products will receive a completely newly generated RSIN.	When the feature ‘Auto match on AutoQC’ is on, a call will be sent to RSIN service to request a possible match with high confidence.
As a Seller I want to update products in bulk or from UI	Render product form If the product has an RSIN and this RSIN is shared by 2 or more products, the brand and the name will be automatically blocked for update.	Propagate updated product RSIN is not changing after an update. The new attribute values are regularly sent to the Shop as well as to the RSIN service.
As an Quality Control Agent I want to match products to their suggestions	Bulk approve On performing bulk approve over a set of products with RSIN suggestions, a match with high confidence (auto match) will be performed.	Match Action If the agent decides to match a product to a suggestion, the system copies the RSIN to the QC-ed product. On approve without match a new RSIN is issued. On reject no RSIN is assigned.
As a Content Agent I want to relink products manually via RSIN web interface	Relink to new RSIN When a product is wrongly linked Search for RSIN Choose one of the products that share the RSIN Click on ‘Link to new’ Seller Center is notified back and the new RSIN is now visible in product edit form	Relink to existing RSIN Search for RSIN Choose one of the products that share the RSIN Pick one of the suggestions Match to it After matching is done Seller Center will be notified and the new RSIN can be found in the product edit form. Relink to an known RSIN After selecting the searched RSIN, on top of the new suggestions panel there is a search bar available. Search by the newly, yet unassigned RSIN Match to it After matching is done Seller Center will be notified and the new RSIN can be found in the product edit form.
As a Content Agent I want to relink products in bulk via RSIN web interface	Create a bulk import file after the model offer: country, shop SKU, Old and New RSIN	Import the file in order to relink products to the correct families. Seller Center will be notified and the new RSINs can be found in the product edit form.
Rollout operations	Rollout of the catalog including old master templates to RSIN On rollout the following 2 scripts will run Script to migrate all master products to the same RSIN Script to auto match with high confidence the entire catalog	Live to staging Copy For the time being the staging copy will reflect into an unsynchronised RSIN database. See details
Shop synchronization	RSIN will be published either in the create product API call or in a product content update call triggered immediately after the RSIN service responds with the assigned RSIN and Seller Center saves it to the product.
