Importing Brands
Before you can import product information through an auto integration, you need to import brands. This can be done on the integration's Product Import page.
To import brands:
In the Admin menu, select Catalog > Catalog Import.
On the page that opens, navigate to Product Import > Product integration name (Click on the name of your auto integration).
Click the Import Brands button.
The integration will import brands from the integration's data provider. You should expect to be informed about the progress of the import process via status messages displayed at the top right-hand side of the screen. Note that the status information is not updated in real-time; to get the most up-to-date information about the current status of the brands import process, refresh the page.
After refreshing the page, you will be able to see the imported brands as a list.
For details on the presentation of information on the list, see Importing Products with an Auto Integration.
After successful product import, the brands associated with the imported products will be added to your store's general list of brands on the Brands page (Catalog > Brands).
Re-importing Brands
To keep your brands information in sync with the information on the end of the data provider, it is possible to do a re-import of brands.
To re-import brands:
In your X-Cart store's Admin area, navigate to Catalog > Catalog Import > Product Import > Product integration name (Click on the name of your auto integration).
Click the Re-Import Brands button at the bottom of the screen.
The integration will do a re-import of brands. You should expect to be informed about the progress of the re-import process via status messages at the top right-hand side of the screen. Note that the status information is not updated in real-time; to get the most up-to-date information about the current status of the brands re-import process, refresh the page. On completion of the re-import process, the status will be "Brands data import completed".
