Upload Inventory Via .CSV
The Upload Products page in the inventory tab in Shipedge is very important since this is where you will be able to upload your SKUs and inventory information in bulk by uploading simple CSV (comma-separated values) files with the correct information. To upload a CSV file with your SKU information all you need to do is follow four easy steps and Shipedge takes care of the rest of the work for you. It is very important that you read through the Explanation section that is provided on this page so that you avoid any errors or issues.
To upload a CSV file you must do the following steps:
1. Download a Template – There are two standard templates provided, the main template and the extended template. The extended template simply has more detailed columns, but the main template should be fine for most uses especially replenishing SKUs that have already been entered.
2. Choose The CSV File – You must click on the Choose File button to browse your computer to find the CSV file that you wish to upload after you have populated the template CSV file with the information required of all the SKUs that you wish to upload to Shipedge.
3. Update SKU data if already in Shipedge – This checkbox is provided for you so that in case you wish to overwrite current SKUs that are already in the Shipedge system in the event that you have new information about the SKU that you wish to update by selecting this checkbox the system will overwrite any SKUs with the same SKU within the uploaded CSV file and replace the old SKU in Shipedge with the new information provided in the new CSV file.
4. Add – Finally all you have to do is click on the Add button and Shipedge will do the rest for you. The process may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the size of the CSV file you are uploading but rest assured that Shipedge will handle the entire process completely for you and when it is complete all your new SKUs will be listed and shown in Shipedge.
