Import Export Tool

The PIM includes an import export tool for new product creation, customizable exports and round trip bulk editing via CSV files. Due to the nature of mass editing, restrictions are imposed throughout the process to ensure the integrity of your data. Please note that this is an advanced feature of the PIM and requires familiarity with several PIM features and operations. You are advised to read through the prerequisite articles below prior to attempting to use the import export tool.

Prerequisites

Import products using a profile

  1. Go to Import/Export menu and select profiles 
  2. Choose a profile and click import to the left of the gear icon for that profile
  3. You will be taken to the import wizard
  4. Choose an import type
    • All or nothing (strictest validation, any error will reject the whole file, errors are returned)
    • Partial (Rows with errors are ignored while valid rows will succeed, errors are returned as well as a separate file of successes)
    • Validate only (nothing is imported, columns/rows are validated and errors are returned)
  5. Choose a file - Must be a CSV file with UTF-8 Encoding
  6. Click Import
  7. Will be taken to import queue
    • Depending on the import type chosen you will receive up to 2 files along with messaging indicating if the file succeeded or had errors.

Note: It's not possible to update the inventory amount of any product through this tool
