If you have not found a supplier on our Marketplace who can meet your expectations or your partner is just not listed here, you can use a DataFeed file easily to create your products to upload them into your store.
Please note, that this feature is available only for Shopify, ShopRenter and Jumpseller stores.
To set up your import task and start uploading the products to your store, follow the steps below:
Creating the task and adding the file
Go to the Retailer Center at the top right section of the page by clicking on your initials
Go to the All Apps menu on the left side
Select and Install the DataFeed Manager Import App
Later, you will find it under the All Apps menu
Go to the Import menu of the DataFeed Manager App
Click to Add New Import Task
Name the task and choose the store you wish to import products to
You will be directed to the first page - the Mapping
Click on + Add new to choose the connection type you will use
Supported file sources: FTP, URL, File upload, Google Drive URL, Google Docs, Dropbox URL.
If you have an API or SOAP connection, contact our support staff, you will not be able to select that connection type there
Add the file in the Source settings section
In some cases, authentication is required to access the file; in this case, enter your Username and Password
If you choose the File upload option, you will need to select the file type as well
If the product details are provided by the supplier in separate files (such as price and stock in different feeds) you can add more files following the same steps. Please, keep in mind:
The files have to be from the same supplier
The connection type has to be the same for every single file
File type can be different
Syncee ID has to be the same value in every file
Click on Upload
Click on Save
The fields from the file will be displayed now on the right side of the Mapping page
Completing the Mapping
Scroll down to the Mapping section and click on it to see the fields
Drag and drop the fields from the right to their respective fields on the left. This way you tell Syncee which value in the file should be used for the Title or Prices for example
Product ID, Title and Price are mandatory fields
Please note that the “Filterable fields” is not uploaded to your store. It is for filtering purposes only in Syncee in the next step. You could map any field here to use the values for filtering. Eg:. “To import” and “Do not import”
Once done with the mapping, click on Save and next
