Feature

Product imports and product updates

Import2Shop brings your wholesalers’ product data into the app and keeps prices and stock up to date on a schedule. That works through ready-made connections to more than 60 wholesalers or through your own CSV, XML or Excel file.

How does product data get into the app?

Ready-made wholesaler connection

There is a ready-made connection for more than 60 wholesalers, such as Kosatec, Nedis, BigBuy, vidaXL and Competec. A wizard takes you through selection and connection test.

Own importer

Your supplier is not on the list? You connect their CSV, XML or Excel file yourself, fetched via URL, FTP or SFTP.

Shopify shop as supplier

A supplier's Shopify shop can be connected as a source too.

In the app

Setting up a wholesaler

Every supplier has its own settings page.

1. Select the supplier

Or create your own source with “New Importer”.

2. Connection data

Feed address and credentials you receive from the wholesaler.

3. Functions

Recalculate prices, reset quantities or delete items that dropped out of the feed.

4. Import schedule

An interval in minutes or a fixed time of day, plus the hour in which new items are created.

Updates

What gets updated?

You decide per supplier with switches. The fewer fields, the faster the update runs.

1. Prices and stock

The two most important values, switchable separately.

2. Inactive on 0 stock

Sold-out items are deactivated and no longer sold.

3. Feed tracking

If the wholesaler drops an item, it is deactivated. If you wish, the app also deletes it in the shop.

Overview

Is the import running? The dashboard shows it

Imports, background tasks and exports sit side by side.

1. Next run

When the supplier will be updated next, and how long the last run took.

2. Start and stop

You pause the schedule before bigger changes.

Own importer

How do I connect my own CSV file?

The own importer handles CSV, XML and Excel. Up to five files can be merged through a shared column, for example master data, stock and pictures.

1

Name the source

Address of the file via URL, FTP or SFTP, plus delimiter and header row.

2

Map the columns

You map the columns to the fields, from SKU and name to prices and stock to pictures, categories and variants. A preview shows the data.

3

Test run

The test shows errors and warnings without saving anything.

4

Activate

After that the importer runs on a schedule like any ready-made connection.

Afterwards

What happens after the import?

Calculate prices

A price template per supplier, category or item turns purchase price or RRP into your sales price.

Map categories

You link the wholesaler's categories to those of your shop.

Choose your range

You release single items, whole categories or manufacturers for the shop. New items of the category follow automatically.

Transfer to the shop

Changes go to Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, Gambio and eBay on the export schedule.
