Yes, you can, but you will still have to pay our minimum monthly fee. We strongly recommend that you list at least several thousand parts with us.
Currently, we can accept .csv, .xls, .xlsx, and tab-delimited files. For more information on additional feed formatting requirements, please take a look at our feed formatting page.
We require that distributors provide the manufacturer name, MPN, SKU, and a distributor-url for every part being listed with us. If your company does not have a SKU system, you may use the MPN as the SKU. For additional information on distributor-url, required and optional headers, and manufacturer requirements, please see our feed formatting page.
