Creating a new product with the import tool can be done in two ways.
If you just want to create a single product you can use the import mode insert/create new. Which creates new products where id does not exist, regardless of name, and never updates existing products.
- Use the Insert/Create New import mode to create a single product.
- This mode creates new products where the ID does not exist, regardless of the name, and does not update existing products.
Product with Multiple Sizes:
You can create a new product with multiple sizes using the Insert/Update import mode. This mode creates a product if no matching ID or Name exists, and updates an existing product if there is a match.
How It Works:
- The first row creates the product with its Name and assigns an ID.
- Subsequent rows match the Name from the first row to add additional product items (e.g., sizes).
Example:
The import file below creates a product named Black Shoe with an auto-generated ID and Article Number 40331.
- Two sizes (S and M) are added, each with its own unique article number.
