Import and export

Page: Products >> Import and export
You can import and export products as well as the complete product catalogue.
You can read a general description about importing and exporting in the chapter Import and export.
Products
During product import/export, all data that directly belong to the product are transferred.
To create new products, the ID [Alias] is required for the import file.
In the import file, you can enter the file name (such as camera_s.png) or a links to the image file (for example, http://imageserver/ProductImage/camers_s.png). The references are used if the image is already available anywhere in the Internet. If only a file name is provided, the image must be uploaded to the product details previously and the corresponding views must have been generated.
A simplified process exists to importing many products with their corresponding images. This is described on the page for product import in the Tips and tricks area under Import images to products and categories during product import.
Product catalogues
Importing a product catalogue occurs through multiple steps, since not all data can be provided in one file. When importing this data, a sequence must be observed. This is described on the page for product import in the Tips and tricks area under Import product catalogues from other systems.
