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

To import Products:

  1. Click Settings > Data Management > Import Data
  2. From the list of objects, choose Products
  3. In the Upload CSV File tab, click the [Browse] button to locate the product file you want to upload
  4. If you have created a Mapping Profile previously, select it from the Mapping Profile list.
    (A Mapping Profile maps the columns in the imported file to the fields in product records.)
  5. Click [Next].
    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.
  6. If your file contains additional columns that you can map to existing fields, select them
  7. Click [Next].
  8. Click [OK] to confirm that the mapping options you selected are correct
  9. 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
  10. To save the profile under a new name, enter the Mapping Profile Name and enter a new Mapping Profile Description
  11. Click the [Start] button to import the data into the platform.
  12. Alternatively, click [Save] to save this mapping profile for later use.

Once the import starts, progress can be monitored in the Import Queue.
