Inventory Import Fields - Common Questions

The Item File Column Format list for Import Inventory Items has some fields that some users are unsure of.

The "Description" will contain the name of your product. The "Catalog Description" is a longer description that will show on your store if you are using the osCommerce Integration tie-in, otherwise this field can be left blank.

The "Reference ID" would be an ID assigned by a previous software system. It is not required, so it can be left blank.

When selecting import options the Full Import will erase your existing items and replace them with those in your CSV file while Partial Import will add to your existing inventory. If the item code matches an existing item, it will be updated.
