Import Products

You can Import Products into the system from any Comma Separated Values (CSV) File. CSV file format is a universally accepted way to move data between systems. Most spreadsheet programs and databases can save data as a CSV text file so it is an ideal way to upload and create Products automatically in the system.

   
 

Select Formatted Text File to Upload

CSV File: Click on the [Browse] button to select a CSV text file from your local computer that contains the Products that you wish to import.

NOTE: You do not need to import all the available columns.
 

Import Options

Update Existing Products: Select this option if you want to update (overwrite) existing Products with the same Product ID found in your import file.
