Example of Product Import¶

This article describes how you can test the import functionality of your store or marketplace by importing a CSV file that we already prepared for you.

1. Download the CSV file with test products:

   • for Store Builder with one seller
   • for Multi-Vendor with several sellers

   Note

   You’ll be able to view or edit a CSV file in a spreadsheet application, for example, Microsoft Office Excel or Google Sheets.

2. In the Administration panel, go to Settings → Import data → Products (Deprecated). Alternatively, you can use the advanced import; it is described in another article.

3. In the Import options section, specify the following settings:

   • Update existing products only—don’t enable this setting; the product doesn’t exist in your store yet. If you enable this setting, the product won’t be imported.
   • Images directory—do not change the value of this field.
   • Price decimal separator—leave . in this field (it is the default value).
   • Category delimiter—leave /// in this field (it is the default value).
   • Feature variants delimiter—leave /// in this field (it is the default value).
   • Directory for the files of downloadable products—do not change the value of this field.
   • Set quantity of all products to zero—do not tick this checkbox.
   • Delete existing files of downloadable products—do not tick this checkbox.
   • CSV delimiter—select Semicolon.
   • Select file—click the Local button and select the downloaded (or created) CSV file.

4. Click the Import button. You will see the following notification:

   • Adidas Women’s Daroga Mesh Casual Shoe in the Shoes category.
