If AbanteCart fails to detect format the Import Wizard will start and ask you to select every column name and meaning you want to assign to column values.


Import wizard

Browse .csv file on your pc and select correct CSV delimiter.


After file upload, select a destination


AbanteCart will try to set columns name's meaning on the fly but you can change columns meaning with selectbox


To update products please set on what column wizard should look to update existing products


If your data contain multiple values for categories or images in one column you need to select a delimiter.

For example, your product has multiple images so in one column you can set multiple images  - url1,url2,url3

Or set full category tree you want to create and assign to the product - parent category name, child category name, child category name

Multiply categories trails

To assign the product to multiply categories trails (paths) please add more columns for example 

category 1 column with Makeup, face

category 2 column with Makeup, Skincare

images path

To import images you can also upload them to your server and in the images column set full server path to each image file



Map export

To avoid spending time on columns meaning selection you can export the mapping of columns|meanings to apply next time you upload a similar file

Copy the mapping code somewhere and apply it next time. All columns|meanings selected will be mapped to your file again


Map change

Take a note: if you remove or add some column to your file please create a new map. The old map key will ignore your new columns!
