Databases Upload Options

After selecting a Pages or Products file to upload, you will be prompted to select some specific upload options.

If you are uploading a simple delimited text file, ShopSite will check the file to match up column names in your file with the column names in ShopSite's tables. If any column names do not match up, you will be prompted to change the field mappings.
Unique product/page identifier
By default, ShopSite uses the product or page name to uniquely identify that item from others in the list. You may optionally specify the Product SKU or the Page File Name as a unique identifier in the upload file, or have no unique identifier. ShopSite will use the unique identifier to match products or pages that already exist with the appropriate items in the upload file, and will update that item, rather than create a new item.
New products/pages
Select whether you want ShopSite to Add or Ignore items in the upload file that do not match items already in the ShopSite table. In most cases, you should have ShopSite add new items, unless your table contains items you do not want to add to ShopSite at this time.
Link options
If you are uploading a large database that contains several files, you may want to check the box to defer linking until all the files have been uploaded. This can save considerable time for extremely large databases. After uploading all the required files, you can click Update Links on the Database Upload screen.

Click Upload File to begin the upload.
