Bulk Import
Hi Luke
 
I want to make my text file for using bulk import feature. I have few questions on the format of the file:
 
1- For multiple pictures upload, Does the URLs need : or , as separator and I assume the images are unlimited for a product
2- We do not have any image attributes should be leave them blank
3- Should the Header texts be in the file or it is just a guid.
4-  If I upload my data once can I use the same file for later modification of e.g. Prices or Quantities,  In this way Does your upload utility updates the information for existing products
5- How can I automate upload (call it from a program ) or make a scheduled task for my everyday update of quantities.
6- I have wo level Category and sometimes three level , Does the bulk Import supports this Category/SubCategory by deltimited values. The sample shows a product in multiple category
 
Thanks
Bahram

Re: Bulk Import
1) use comma
2) yes, that's fine
3) what header text?
4) if you fill in SKU and keep it unchanged, it will do update rather than add a new one for the second time.
5) if you just update quantities, it's easier to write you own code and update database directly.
6) yes, it does exact that.
