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.
SKU | Color | Size | Weight |
---|---|---|---|
SKU1 | Red | 12 | |
SKU2 | 16 | 50 |
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.
SKU | Specification Key1 | Specification Value1 | Specification Key2 | Specification Value2 |
SKU1 | Color | Red | Size | 12 |
SKU2 | Size | 16 | Weight | 50 |
Best for: When specifications vary significantly between SKUs, allowing a more flexible structure.
