Elenco degli autori

Note: ShopFactory Pro package includes the basic Import Wizard - note that it can not import 'options and choices' or images. Also, it can only import data from comma delimited data files and text files (CSV, TXT).

ShopFactory Gold and Platinum plans include ImportWizard Pro, where it can import virtually any field supported by ShopFactory from an existing database.

1. Create a shop in ShopFactory and save the project.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the shop you are importing to has been previewed externally before importing products.

2. Close ShopFactory.

3. Prepare your import file - we recommend using CSV file format as this is more flexible than XLS format.

The fields supported in ImpWiz are listed here, http://help.shopfactory.com/help12/contents/en-us/d164.html

4. Click Windows Start -> Programs -> ShopFactory 14 -> select "Import Wizard" -> Import Wizard.

5. The Import Wizard dialog box shows up. Select the shop you want the products imported.

6. Select the database or file type you are using.

7. Click Next button.

9. Click Next button.

You will see a list of the products in the file if you have separate tables in this file you can select one of these from the dropdown list at the top of the window. Click on the Next button and you can select to import a tax with your products. You will need to already have this tax set up in the ShopFactory website that you are importing to. 

12. You will now see the field mapping window. You will be able to map the fields used in the file that you are importing from, to the fields available in ShopFactory. Once you have matched the fields, click Next to go to the import tool window.
