Learn how to add products individually or in bulk to your E-commerce platform. This guide will walk you through setting up product fields, and managing both individual and bulk product imports efficiently in your dashboard.
Overview:
The Adding products feature allows Admins and Exhibitors to add products individually or import them in bulk using a template, simplifying the process of managing product catalogs. Follow the steps below to add or import products seamlessly.
Prerequisites:
- Access to Admin/Event Owner role or Booth Admin role for Exhibitors.
- Set up customizable fields in the E-commerce Item Form under the Registration section.
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Adding Individual Products:
- Navigate to the E-commerce Dashboard in the left-side panel.
- Click on the Add Item button located in the top-right corner. This opens the add item form.
- Fill out the form fields as required. The fields are customizable and should be set up in advance in the E-commerce Item Form under the Registration section.
- For guidance on creating and customizing fields, refer to the Registration Form guide: Guide on Registration Form Customization.
- After filling in the necessary fields, click Save to create the product item in the dashboard.
2. Importing Products in Bulk:
Bulk import allows you to add multiple items simultaneously using a CSV template.
- In the E-commerce Dashboard, click the Import button.
- Download the CSV template to view the required fields, which align with those you’ve defined in the E-commerce Item Form.
- Note: In the Booth column of the CSV file, enter the booth ID, not the booth name. Booth IDs can be located in the Booth Management section.
- Populate the CSV file with product information following the structure provided.
- Once all product data has been added to the CSV file, import the file back into the dashboard. The items will then appear in the product list.
Tips:
- Use individual item addition for detailed, one-off entries and bulk import for high-volume updates.
- Double-check all CSV entries, especially the booth IDs, before importing to prevent errors.
- Avoid adding currency symbols with the item amount/price during entry or import to prevent errors.
By following these steps, you can efficiently manage product additions, whether individually or in bulk, to keep your catalog up-to-date and well-organized.
