**Things that you should take note before you get started:** \\ \\ 

1. If you had updated any new product information in the Marketplace Seller Center, please perform data **sync back** to update the latest product information back to your SiteGiant's Product Listing. Refer to the guide for __[[home:demo:sitegiant:products:sync_back_product|Shopee]]__ or __[[home:demo:sitegiant:products:sync_back_product|Lazada]]__. \\ \\ 

2. **New iSKU** will be auto-generated whenever the system detected that there is no SKU for the product from Seller Center. Thus, if you wish to have the Product SKU of your own, **please fill up your SKU from the Seller Center** and perform sync back again. \\ \\ \\
