Overview
Using the Udo Import function you can upload from 1 to thousands of products in one quick process. To do this you will need to have your product data in a database or spread sheet split into the columns described below.
Please Note: If your data does not fit into these columns we can build you a custom import template to match your data.
Udo Product Column Headings
code (required and must be unique)
The code column must contain a unique product code for every product you indend to put online. If these are duplicated the Import will merge the lines with the same code together resulting in the last row imported overwriting the previous rows.
title (required)
The title column must contain the product name, as will be displayed in the product category, printed on Invoices, and in within the shopping cart.
price (required)
The price column must contain the product price excluding any GST. (eg $ 9.09 for a $10 inc gst price)
gst (required)
The gst column must contain the GST component of the product price. (eg $0.91 for a $10 inc gst price)
height / width / depth (optional)
The height / width / depth columns each contain the products packaged sizes in meters. These 3 columns are used together, with the volumetric constant in your shipping matrix to determine the products volumetric weight, and then the cost to ship this product to your customer.
weight (optional)

The related column can contain a list of related product product codes, seperated by a semicolon ( ; ).
category (optional - strongly reccomended)

- Mens\Tops;Mens\T-Shirts - This would ensure that the product is listed under the Mens category in both T-Shirts and Top, but not in Womens\Tops.
- Featured;New Arrivals;Laser Printers\Colour - This would put the product in 3 categories, with Colour being a child category of Laser Printers
