Excel import/export

Importing a file allows you to quickly add or update information about a large number of products. You can also export product information from the catalog to update it in a third-party service.
The Solomono team has developed a convenient functionality for working with Import / Export files - Excel (CSV), XML (YML), but it is very important to create it correctly so as not to make mistakes. Management is done through the administration panel: -> "Products" -> "Import/Export":

And export the products that are already on your site.

To do this, click the "Export" button, select "Excel"

In the window that opens, using the drop-down lists, select what you need to export or leave it unchanged. Next, click "Export"

 

 

After you have created an Excel file, you need to open it and fill it with your data.

In this case, you can remove those columns that you do not need.

VERY IMPORTANT:
1) You cannot delete the "product code" and "EOREOR" columns.
2) the "code" of the product must always be unique and not repeated.
3) you can not name several columns with the same name.

Here is a screenshot of the file that needs to be filled in, some columns and rows have been removed.
