Import products
Product import allows you to create or modify a large number of products at once using an xls, xlsx, or csv file.
To access it, go to the My Products tab and click the “Import Products” button.
To modify the default product import configuration, click “Configure Import Columns” (1).
To ensure optimal organization of the imported information, it is essential to follow the order of the configured columns. To make this easier, you can download an .xlsx template (2) and simply add your products to it.
Once your file is complete, click on “Choose a file” (3).
Cieblink will automatically read your file and display a summary table (1) showing the data before import.
At this stage, the import has not yet been performed, and no products have been created or modified. You can therefore review the data that will be processed and, if necessary, make adjustments to your file before clicking “Restart.”
By hovering your mouse over the “i” (2) at the end of a row, you can see whether the associated product will be created or modified.
Finally, click the “Import Products” (3) button to start the import. A modal window will display the progress of the operation.
Import Column Configuration
The feature can be activated by clicking “Manage Import Columns.” Once activated, it allows you to select, in the left-hand column, the columns to import (1) and to define the link between the fields filled in during import and the columns in your imported file (2). Mandatory columns cannot be deselected. Multi columns can be associated with multiple columns in your document.
By default, the columns follow the order of those you selected. If the Manage Import Columns option (3) is deselected, the default mapping will be automatically restored. The column naming convention used in Excel files (A, B, …, Z, AA, AB, etc.) also applies to .csv and .txt import files. A single column from the import file cannot be used for more than one imported column.
When using Multi columns, separate the linked columns with a semicolon (;). The order you specify will be respected during import (for example: F;K;L).
