Import a Catalogue

Instead of manually taking the efforts to create your products one-by-one, you can choose to do it all together in bulk.

Figure 6: Sample File note
You will get drop-down boxes for certain columns in the Excel file. Example: Brands, Gtin type, Currency, etc.
The first row highlights the headers. Hovering over any of them with your mouse pointer will show a brief description (see GTIN column below). The columns that are highlighted in green are mandatory to fill. It's recommended that you also fill the optional fields as it enhances the product description.
Figure 7: Sample File Content
Fill all the product details, similar to what we saw in the previous section. In this case, we have created a catalogue of 3 products.
- Case 1: Product has only one identifier (GTIN Type), e.g. EAN.
Figure 8: Excel File Example 1 - Case 2: Product has more than one identifier, e.g. EAN, SKU, UPC, etc.
We have seen in the previous section that if a product has multiple identifiers, one of the identifier has to be made PRIMARY.
Figure 9: Making An Identifier As Primary In the excel file, PRIMARY is referred to as Seller Identifier.

Creating a set of products is slightly different, because a set may contain different size and quantity. You can enter these sizes and quantities in new rows, as shown below. Note that you will have to rewrite the Item Code, Brand and Size Group in the new rows.
