Reviewing Existing Proposals
You can review proposals you’ve previously submitted to a merchant partner from the Products dashboard. Reviewing a proposal lets you check its current status, download the original CSV file, and track whether the merchant has approved, rejected, or requested changes.
This feature helps you monitor progress on both new product submissions and updates to existing products.
Proposal statuses
Proposals are organized by their status into the following pages:| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Proposals you have created but not yet submitted. |
| Sent to Merchant | Proposals that have been submitted and are awaiting merchant approval. |
| Returned by Merchant | Proposals that have been returned and require updates before resubmission. |
| Publishing | Proposals that are in process of being published live. |
| Completed | Proposals that are finalized and closed. |
