Import products - CSV file example


Recommended Posts

You can find example files under the csv import tab.

 

Do you mean that "Available fields" on the left side of CSV IMPORT? I've tried to make one in excel but it doesn't work at all. so thats why I'm asking for simple example.

Please follow the link that parsifal provided.

 

It is not on the right side. The link for the example files is right under the UPLOAD button.

 

Please look for "Click to see our samples import csv files."

 

I've got it. Thank you. I thought it will be easier to fill all field up .

 

By the way, can you help me with:

Have You Think .CSV Creation is a tough Job...

Its quite easy..

 

1.Collect your List in Excel with Product ID,Description,Name...whatever you want

2.When saving Select CSV (MS DOS) Ignore the Service Messages

3.Open it in Notepad++.You can See the Character Separated Files.

4.Again Select Encoding & Choose Encode in UTF-8.Save it

5.Upload it & Select the Columns...

 

Simple;But to be keen in Documentation...

Keep Trying

I upload more then 10 thousand products in my website..

 

there are many things u have to do if u want Bulk Upload ...

 

1st things u have to know about excel formate

 

when u going to upload bulk products u have to download Sample Products CSV file from ''CSV Import option'' at right side.

 

Dont open That Sample CSV file u have to make sum changes in your Microsoft Excel application..

 

1st - go to Excel > Option > Advanced options > Unchecked System Separators and in Decimal and thousand separator both option fill Use comma (,) 

Press OK Save.

( try open Sample Product File if all menu show correct then dont attempt 2nd option )  

 

2nd - now open empty excel file. again go same to Excel > Option > Advanced options > Scroll Down Bottom in General menu > Web Options > Encoding >

Save Documents as Western European ( Windows ) Select and click ok save it.

 

well probably at this time. Sample product file must show correctly.

 

at this point if you  Use Fullstop ( . ) that ill be show as Comma (,) Thats normal

 

well now fill your sample file with 10 bulk Products

 

when u done with fill everything on csv file

 

go to prestashop CSV Import > 

 

What kind of entity would you like to import? Please select > Products

 

click upload file >  select you file and upload 

 

ISO 8859-1 encoded file? > click Yes

 

Field separator > ;

 

Multiple value separator > ,

 

well other last 4 option use it if want does not matter

 

Click next step

 

make sure ur all menu same as formate

example Id as ID

Name as name

Categories as Categories

 

when all name match press Import CSV Data

 

thats all.

 

 

( if u stuck at category creation i preferred to do manually and in products csv formate you can use them with comma (,) 

example if u create category in your website as main Category Phone then inside phone > apple , sony, samsung

so in csv file if you imports apple Products so u have to write   > Phone, Apple

                                                       If samsung products    > Phone, Samsung

if there no subcategory for products  u can direct write same name

 

Best of luck i hop this ill help sum 1
