After successful completion of the import of brands, you should be able to import products from ATD. It is recommended you check and adjust your brand-specific import settings before importing products.
It is possible to launch an import of products for any specific brand manually or to adjust an import schedule for individual brands so import can be done automatically.
The Product Import page for the ATD integration in your X-Cart store's backend will be the hub for all your product import operations.
In this section, you will be able to view the list of your ATD brands with detailed information about the import of product data for each brand.
The section columns provide the following information:
Brand Name: The name of the brand (as received from ATD)
Products: The number of imported products. The number is a link that allows you to access the product list.
Brand ID: The AutoSync Brand ID.
SKU Prefix/suffix: The SKU prefix / suffix - as configured in the brand import settings.
Import Schedule: The brand's scheduled import date and time.
Import Status: The current import status for the brand.
Each brand on the list has its own Settings button that allows you to adjust the import preferences for the brand, if necessary.
Each brand that can be imported has its own Import button that allows you to manually launch an import of products for it.
If an import button for a brand is not provided, it means that the import settings configuration for this brand still needs to be completed. Typically, that is the case if you have not selected the categories to be imported. Once you complete the brand-specific configuration of your import preferences, the import button should appear in its designated place.
To manually launch the import of products for one specific brand, click the Import button opposite the brand name. Clicking the button will create a task to import product data for the brand. If the system needs to handle more than one task, the task will be queued.
It is possible to launch the import of products for multiple brands at once. To do so, you can select the brands for which you want to start product import and click the Import button at the bottom of the screen. Depending on your selection, the button name will be either Import Selected:
or Import All:
The integration can provide notification messages on the same page about the data import status. To see the current status, refresh the page.
The import status for specific brands will be shown in the Import Status column.
Successfully imported products will be shown in the Products column of the brands list. The column will show the number of successfully imported products, and you will be able to access the list of those imported products by clicking the number link. If you get errors in the process of importing certain products, it will be stated in the Import Status column. Similarly, you will be able to click on the link to see what products could not be imported correctly or were imported with errors.
Import tasks that are currently queued or in progress can be canceled by clicking the [X] button.
Note that stopping an import process does not happen immediately; it may take a few moments for the cancel action to take effect.
