# Adding a Supplier's Products in Bulk
Adding a supplier’s products in bulk saves time and reduces manual data entry, making it easier to add and maintain large numbers of products efficiently.
At the heart of Supply’d is a powerful yet easy-to-use ordering system that allows you to order from all your suppliers in one place. For suppliers who are not yet on Supply’d, you can add them as **Custom Suppliers** and create the products you purchase from them, including their pricing, ordering information, and other relevant details. This allows you to manage purchasing and place orders with Custom Suppliers alongside your other suppliers. Suppliers and their products can be added individually or imported in bulk using a CSV file.

**Custom Suppliers vs Supply’d Suppliers**
* **Custom Suppliers** - Suppliers you manually add to Supply’d because they are not connected to the Supply’d platform. You are responsible for adding and maintaining their supplier details, products, pricing, and other relevant information. These suppliers are easily identified by the status.
* **Supply’d Suppliers** - Suppliers that are connected to the Supply’d platform. Their supplier information, products, and pricing are managed and made available by the supplier, so you do not need to manually add their products. These suppliers are identified by the status.

Products can only be added manually for **Custom Suppliers**. Products from suppliers connected through Supply’d are synchronised automatically and cannot be added or edited manually.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.supplyd.co/supplyd-erp/suppliers/adding-suppliers-products/adding-a-suppliers-products-in-bulk.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
