Import parameters
You download the import template by going into the Import Tool in the menu and clicking on New and then in the Template type drop down, choosing * Product Parameters*and clicking on download file template.
Below follows a description of existing columns. (There's also a short description in Merchant Center under View template description)
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| ProductId | Id for the product that the parameters shall import to. |
| ProductName | The products name. Mandatory if the Id is not filled in. Can be left empty is there is an Id. |
| ParameterGroup | Name of the parameter group. That which is set in the field Group Name in on the parameter group. |
| ParameterName | Name of the parameter. Field name on a parameter |
| Value |
The value you want a product to have on it's parameter. Needs to match a existing value if it's a type picker or multi picker.
If the value includes a number with decimals, the decimals need to be separated with a . (point) to work correctly. E.g 2.2 (not 2,2)
Once you clicked Next you are able to match the columns to each post. In this example the column Namn needs to be dragged to name.
When your import is finished you'll get a summary. If all products were imported correctly it will say either Inserted or Updated. If something went wrong it will say how many products which were Ignored or Failed.
When you have matched all the columns then press Start import, your products will then be enriched with parameters. Repeat the process to add the next parameter.
RULE of thumb: If you are importing a lot of parameters to products in one go ALWAYS start with one products to see that everything falls in the right places.
