The “Import Products” allows you to do just that, import your products into your mobile store.
*All product uploads and product management are done by CSV Spreadsheet files using your favorite spreadsheet software.
We recommend using OpenOffice Open Source Software. Its Free.
- To get started, download the SAMPLE.CSV file.
- Import/Open the file in your spreadsheet software. ( OpenOffice: File>Open )
Next part is entering your products into the spreadsheet.
There are 5 main fields (first row) that should not be deleted, edited, or messed with. (Leave them alone!)
- category
- producttitle
- productprice
- productimage
- productdescription
category allows you to place your product in a category, subcategory, or child subcategory.
- For categories with no subcategories, just enter in one category name ( example: Shoes )
- For categories with subcategories, enter “>” symbol in between ( example: Shoes>Mens )
Note: Only use alpha-numeric characters
producttitle is the products title. Not full description but a short one line title.
Note: Only use alpha-numeric characters
productprice is the products price. Only enter a numerical value. No dollar signs, no commas; Period OK. (example: 15 or 25 or 15.50 or 25.50 ) ($1,000 would be WRONG)
Note: Only use numeric characters (and a period for cents)
productimage is the products image. Enter just the image file name with extension. (example: NikeSneakers.jpg ). Do not enter a full path. *You will be able to upload a zip file with all of your product images under the “Product Images” Setting tab.
Note: Only use alpha-numeric characters (and a period for the extension)
productdescription is the products description. You may enter as many characters as you desire. Basic HTML tags may be used such as <br>, <p>, <hr>, <b>, <i>, and so on. Avoid using CSS as it should only be used in templates.
TIP: If your products are uploading with errors, remove all quotes (“) and non Unicode characters from the spreadsheet by using the Find/Replace tool.
Note: Recommend using only alpha-numeric characters
Upload the CSV file using the file browser in the Import Products tab.
If you have purchased a Theme/Template, you are able to choose the theme at this point using the dropdown menu. *If you did not purchase a theme, use the Default.
