This article provides information on how to configure the settings in the Import Options section of an auto integration's settings.
For integration-specific details on configuring general import options, consult the following articles:
General Import Options
Import mode: Specify the mode that you would like to use for importing products through this auto integration. Available options:
Add new products and update existing ones [default option];
Add new products only;
Update existing products only.
Choosing wisely is crucial to prevent data conflicts if you use multiple integrations.
Update existing products by: Specify how you want to match products already in your catalog with those being imported using this auto integration. Technically, two products will be considered the same if they have the same identifier. The identifier to base the matching on can be one of the following:
Manufacturer Part Number [default option];
Product SKU.
Update: If you have specified in the Import mode setting that products should be updated during an import, select the data fields to update. At least one data field must be selected; otherwise, no data will be updated. To view the list of updatable data fields supported by a specific auto integration, refer to the individual documentation for that integration. See the links below in the section "Integration-Specific Documentation on Import Options".
Important: If using multiple auto integrations, careful selection here is very important to avoid overwriting data imported through other integrations.
New product status: Specify whether products newly imported from ASAP Network should be automatically assigned the status "Available for sale". Select one of the following options:
Active: The "Available for sale" property of newly imported products will be set to "On".
Inactive: The "Available for sale" property of newly imported products will be set to "Off".
Note that the selected option will apply to newly imported products only and will NOT affect any products imported earlier.
