Uploading the file

Once you have all your data in CSV format, you can upload them to your

store's database using the form in the "Import" sub-tab of the "Tools" tab.

Load your file from your computer by clicking "Browse", confirm by

clicking "Upload".

The page is updated, and a form appears:

The name of your file will appear in the drop-down menu named "Select

your .CSV file". Then:

 Select the type of data contained in your file, using the drop-

down menu named "Select which entity to import". In our case, we

are importing products. Once you have selected the type of data, a

list of the available fields will appear on the right, which could help

you refine your CSV file – at least for the order of the columns,

which will soon prove handy.

 Select the language of the imported content. If the target

language is not available, you must install it first, in Tools >

Languages.

 Select the file encoding. Simply indicate if the file is iso-8859-1 or

not. If not, then it is assumed the files used UTF-8.

 Select the field separators. We suggest that you leave the default

values ("field separator" with a semicolon ";", "multiple value

separators" with a comma ","). But obviously, if your CSV file is built

differently, you should change these values accordingly.
