Imports: Attributes

The Attributes Import provides a convenient way for Fulfillers to import and create Attributes against Products in the Platform. 

The required import format is CSV. 


What is the Attribute Import used for?
The import is used to create Attributes or to edit existing ones. 

Create: Add new Attributes to Products in bulk.

To create new Attributes, the relevant Products should first be 'selected' or filtered in Product Manager prior to generating an Attribute Export.

The generated CSV file serves as a template, allowing the Product data to be added in a format that is then suitable for use with the Attribute Import to update the Products. 
It is recommended that Imports are tested on a sample range prior to rollout across a high volume of Products.

Edit: Update existing Attributes across a range of Products. Some typical use cases are;
  1. To review / replace the Values in bulk. 
  2. To review / edit the Attribute settings in bulk.
To edit Attributes, the relevant Products should be 'selected' or filtered in Product Manager prior to generating an Attribute Export.

The generated CSV file serves as a template, allowing the Product data to be edited in a format that is then suitable for use with the Attribute Import to update the Products.
It is recommended that Imports are tested on a sample range prior to rollout across a high volume of Products.
