Import Products

The products must be imported as a CSV (comma-separate value file).

To import Products:

1. Click Settings > Data Management > Import Data > Products
2. In the Import Products page, Upload CSV File tab, click the [Browse] button to locate the product file you want to upload
3. If you have created a map profile previously that maps the columns in the imported file to the fields in product records, select it from the Mapping Profile list
4. Click the Next button. If you selected a Mapping Profile, it automatically maps the columns in the selected file to fields in the product record, and displays the association in the Map Columns tab.
5. If your file contains additional columns that you can map to existing fields, select them
6. Click the [Next] button, and click OK to confirm that the mapping options you selected are correct
7. In the Set Attributes tab, select the option to merge the new record with an existing record if you are updating your database and don't want to create duplicate records
8. To save the profile under a new name, enter the Mapping Profile Name and enter a new Mapping Profile Description
9. Click the [Start Import] button to import the data into the platform, or click the [Save Profile & Exit] button to save this mapping profile and import the file later.

If you import the file now, the progress appears in the import processing queue in the Products tab.
