You can decide to have products immediately listed when import is complete, or to have them merely imported and set to invisible, until you have reviewed the import.
You will find a sample import file here: http://app.santu.com/media/import_sample.csv
You can import up to 5 images per product. Simply create one column for each image URL in your import file. Then map all these columns to ‘Image URL’
Alternatively include all image URLs or file names in the same column and separate them with the the pipe symbol | .
You have two options to import the images into your store:
Upload your image to an online account and provide for each image the complete Internet address in your CSV file, such as http://website.com/images/picture-1.jpg
Add only the file name for each image to you CSV file, such as picture-1.jpg. Zip up all images listed in the CSV file into one zip folder. Select the zip file with your images with the same button you use to select the CSV file.
An attribute describes the variations of a product to make selecting a specific color or size easier. You can import products with attributes by grouping products with the same attributes.
To automatically add your products to different categories include the required category in a column in your import file. Then map it to ‘Category’.
To import multiple categories for a product create multiple columns and assign all of them to ‘Category’.
