• Shopify
• CS-Cart 2.0.3
• Magento
• Prestashop 1.1

How It Works

1. At first, you need to choose in a drop-down menu your target cart type, write its URL, download connection bridge and install it via FTP.
2. The next step is to select the entities you want to update. You also need to provide your data file URL. Then, choose the appropriate import option:
• Import New and Update Existing Products,
• Update Existing Products Only.

Note! Scheduled Import requires your file URL and will not work if the import is performed from a file.

3. Now, map the fields. Just pick the appropriate field name from a drop-down menu that suits field names of your file. Be sure you have the required fields: Product ID (number, SKU, etc.), Name, Description and Price. Images and Categories (with delimiters) are optional fields. You can map 20 additional fields, including Quantity, Status, Meta Keywords and many other too.
4. While Pre-Import Data Check, File2Cart will retrieve all data from your file and check whether everything is alright. If it is, you can start Demo Import of 10 products.
5. After they are imported to your store successfully, choose Automated Daily/Weekly Import. Pick the days and see all the information about your Scheduled Import and a recommended plan.
