File Format:

  • The imported file must be in CSV format.
  • Each column header represents a field name, and each row contains values for a product.

Example Formatting:

  • In this example, "ACTION" is the field name, and "A" (Add) is its corresponding value, following the format specifications in this documentation.

Adding Products:

  • You can include multiple products in one file. Each product should be on a separate row.

Uploading Your File:
