This allows the merchant to put all of their products in a CSV sheet in their own time and then upload them all at once.\ \ The merchant can also use the import function to bulk update already existing products. Using different import profiles the merchant can select which section of a product to update and which sections to ignore. Click here to download the Import Sheet with examples. ### How to Import Products 1. Fill in the Import sheet and save it as .csv 2. Click on System 3. Select Import 4. Click on the Create Icon in the top right of the page 5. This will take you to the profile select page. You will need to create a profile if you have not already. Click on the Create Icon in the top right of the page again 6. Enter a profile name. Try to use a description that you will recognise in the future. If you are doing a bulk import of new products you can use a Name of New Product Imports for example 7. From the Plugin drop down select Basic Goods Products 8. You do not need to enter or edit any of the other details under Profile 9. Edit the Basic Goods Product Settings so that it will only import the details you wish.

Choose the file you wish to upload 12. Click Okay 13. Click on Validate, this will go through your import sheet and look for errors.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://support.storefront.co.za/features/system/import.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
