How to Import Products

Overview 

You can add many products at once by importing a data file instead of creating each one by hand. You choose your file, set the delimiter that separates its values, and import. FieldPie reads the file and adds the products to your catalog. Setting the delimiter correctly is the key step, since it tells FieldPie how to split each row into fields. 

Before You Start

You need access to the Products/Services page and permission to import data. Prepare your file first and know which delimiter separates the values in it.
