What is a CSV file?
A CSV file stands for Comma Separated Values. As the name suggests, each field or value is separated by a comma. This enables you to import an existing product catalog from either a spread-sheet program or existing database. Simply use the ‘Save As’ function in spread-sheets and choose CSV as the file type. To export a database, you will need to consult the database’s manual. For example, in a MYSQL database, you use the “SELECT INTO OUTFILE …” statement. When you have a CSV file, you can simply import into your store through the Batch Option in Merchant Services.
