Advanced Import - Import data from XLSX spreadsheet file

1. Go to Catalog - Import/Export
2. Choose an Advanced import option

If you have a CSV or XLSX file that was exported from another eCommerce platform or any other source, like an inventory list from a supplier, then you need to rebuild it to fesh.'s format. If the file format doesn't match, then the import fails. 

Import process:

1. Before you start

1. Download the fesh.'s template import file. You can use it as a template for creating your own XLSX file or copy data to this template. Note! All import data have their own import files!
   
   

   Products

   Categories

   Product Attributes

   Product options
   
   But the best practice is to create one or two products manually in Catalog - Products and make an export. In this way, you will get a ready import file format with all needed fields and you will only need to add the rest of the products to the already filled columns
   
   

2.  Copy data into the appropriate columns of the template file. It's recommended that you delete all the empty columns and rows from your file, so it doesn't cause any errors.

2.  Once you’ve prepared your import file, you can start the import

1. Go to Catalog - Import/Export and choose an Advanced import option
2. Choose import type - update all data or delete all old data before Import
   
   Before product import, you have to create or import all store catalog structures - categories, product variants, and technical attributes and only after that, you can import products. fesh. will create all non-existent categories, but the best practice is to create all catalog structures before the products import
   
   
3.  Click Choose file and select the import file from your computer
4.  Press Import button
