PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE STILL IN BETA MODE FOR SHOPIFY UPLOAD. Please send us your Shopify spreadsheet for review prior to uploading.
We are thrilled to offer the feature of uploading your Shopify and/or your Etsy store to IndieMe. There are some adjustments and/or additions you will have to make to your products once you upload your Shopify/Etsy CSV file.
To upload your Shopify/Etsy spreadsheet you will click on the Artist tab>Manage My Store>Manage My Products>IMPORT then select the Shopify or Etsy option. Please do not make any adjustments to the column names as that will affect a successful import.
Etsy CSV file: please note this file will include underscores in your keywords. These must be removed prior to upload as they will affect your being found in search results. You can perform a find/replace function in Excel to remove them and replace them with commas. The most efficient way to do this without altering any other data in columns is to copy the column data for keywords and paste it into a new tab on the spreadsheet. Go to that new tab and perform the find/replace feature, then copy the new keywords with commas back to the original tab and delete the new tab. Be sure to save your file.
Your images will upload however you may need to refresh the page after upload to view all of them. Please note we only allow up to 500 SKUs.
Once uploaded you can continue to tweak each product either manually or by using our Bulk Edit feature. To use this feature, select Export from the Manage My Products Page. Your store will be downloaded to a CSV file (do not alter the column names).
Before you continue to edit your products you must MANUALLY enter at least one Category. Select a product and click on the name. Scroll down to the Category section and enter as many categories as you choose. Select one or more for the product you are working on and save. You can now continue with the Bulk Add feature.
The following are required fields that will need to be filled out prior to your store being live on the platform. These fields ensure your product line will be visible in our Search Engine:
- Item Type: Select from the dropdown and/or enter the appropriate choice in the corresponding column on the CSV file
- Product Code: Pick what fits your product and/or enter it in the CSV file
- Product Style Code: Pick what fits your product and/or enter it in the CSV file
- Product Media: Pick the correct option in the drop-down and/or enter it in the CSV file
- Product Theme Code: Pick what fits your product and/or enter it in the CSV file
- Keywords: You can add up to ten (we encourage you to enter all 10) please do not enter underscores, just a comma between tags.
- Category: Enter the category or multiple categories.
If you are manually updating the product be sure to save! If you are using our Bulk Edit feature you can now upload the file by selecting Bulk Edit on the Manage My Products page and select Bulk Edit and the option Update Products using IndieMe CSV file. If there are any issues to be resolved the system will warn you in a pink box, follow the listed issues to resolve all.
As always we are here to help. Please let us know if you need assistance or have questions at service@indieme.com.
