Import products using file url

  • Go to Lynks PIM Product Import and click on Add Another Source.
     
  • Choose the format of the file you want to upload.
     
  • Select the Import Intent. Define how the data should be handled:

    Add Data: New products do not present in Lynks will be created.
    Update Data: Existing SKUs will be updated with new information.
    Add and Update: New products will be created, and existing ones will be updated.
     
  • Select the Specification Key Strategy: 

    a) Single column strategy: 

    In this approach, each unique specification (attribute) has a dedicated column, and the corresponding SKU values 
    are filled in the respective rows. If a SKU does not have a particular specification, the cell remains blank.
     
SKUColorSizeWeight
SKU1Red12 
SKU2 1650

     b) Multi column strategy:

     This method organizes specifications using key-value pairs, where each 
     specification is divided into two columns: one for the attribute name (Key) 
     and one for its corresponding value.

SKUSpecification Key1Specification Value1Specification Key2Specification Value2
SKU1ColorRedSize12
SKU2Size16Weight50

   Best for: When specifications vary significantly between SKUs, allowing a more flexible structure.
