USAGE

  • First we must set some settings before upload an excel file,
  • Choose which product form data assign to in your excel,
  • After edit all rows or just using in excel, save settings,
  • Select your upload file and submit form.

USAGE NOTES

CATEGORIES

You can use only one row for a product, so if you want to set product's category information from excel read above.

EX. product info with product categories

COLUMB A COLUMB B COLUMB C COLUMB D
Product Model Product Name Main Category Name  Sub Cat. Name

In this example our products goes to; Main Category -> Sub Category -> Sub Category, but if you whant to set multiple main category take a look example above.

COLUMB A COLUMB B COLUMB C COLUMB D
Product Name Main Cat|Main Cat 2 Sub Cat 1|Sub Cat 2 Sub Cat 1,2|Sub Cat 2,2

In this example our product goes to; Main Cat -> Sub Cat 1 -> Sub Cat 1,2 and Main Cat 2 -> Sub Cat 2 -> Sub Cat 2,2 categories.

Sortly for multiple category you can use sperator " | " between category names.

Product Options

For add an option to product, you should add new row for product option. If another row has same product model, system get this row as product option.

Example for product option

COLUMB A COLUMB B COLUMB C COLUMB D
Model001 Prod. Name 127.00 10
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Model001 OPTION NAME|OPTION VALUE NAME +50.00 5
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Model001 OPTION NAME|OPTION VALUE 2 NAME +50.00 5

If you want to add more options you can add more row What has to same model number.

  • You should use same quantitiy columb for options quantitiy info.
  • You should use same price columb for options price info.
  • If you want to " - " prefix for price, you can set price columb "-50.00"
  • Dont use curreny sym in price columbs.
