Page: Products >> Import and export
You can read a general description about importing and exporting in the chapter Import and export, above.
In the import file, the following columns are mandatory for creating new products:
If no further data is specified, the products are created using the corresponding alias and are assigned to the default product type. The default settings are used for all other required data. If other columns are filled in the import file, the values are entered for the corresponding attributes.
In the import file, you can enter the file name for images which have already been uploaded or a reference to the image file. Enter a reference if the image is already in the Internet. This is comparable with uploading product images in the administration; see Product details – Images, above.
These alternative entries are possible for the following columns in the import file:
