Vendor catalogs and Search Parts
Subscribe to a vendor’s price book at your dealer tier, then pull parts — or a whole line — into your inventory.

DiveDesk keeps shared vendor price sheets. Vendor Catalogs is where you say which ones you carry and at which price level; Search Parts is where you find parts in those catalogs and add them to your own products. Both are Admin and Manager only. A catalog is one vendor — every brand in that vendor’s book comes with it.
Subscribe to a vendor
- Open Vendor Catalogs — one row per vendor, with its Brands and a Parts count. Filter by vendor or brand… narrows the list.
- Pick your Price level. The vendor’s own dealer tiers come first under Your dealer tier, then retail, dealer, cost, map. Choose the tier you actually buy at.
- Click Subscribe. The row gains a Subscribed pill; changing the price level later re-subscribes at the new tier.
- Click the part count to browse everything that vendor carries in Search Parts, pre-filtered to them.
If the list says No catalogs available yet, the DiveDesk team is still importing sheets. Selling something no catalog has? Use + Add product manually.
Pull parts into inventory
- In Search Parts, type a part number, UPC, description or keyword and press Search.
- Tick the rows you want (the header checkbox selects the page), then click ☁ Bulk Add to Inventory.
- To take on a whole line, search with nothing ticked. When more than one page matches, an Add all N to inventory button appears; it works in batches of 100 and reports progress.
- Read the result: Added X products to inventory · linked Y you already stocked · Z already imported. Items you already had are linked, not duplicated.
Keep prices current
⟳ Sync Existing refreshes price and description on every imported product, adds images scraped since, and takes up any vendor UPC the sheet has gained — the result says how many, so reprint those labels. Products no longer in a subscribed catalog are left alone.
