How to Mark a Competitor Product

Overview 

FieldPie lets you flag an item as a competitor product so you can track rival goods separately from your own catalog. You can set the flag when creating or editing a product, and you can also set it during an Excel import by using the Competitor column. Flagging competitor items lets you record and analyze the competitive landscape alongside your own products.
