We have the BV2013 installed and I am getting to know it, but I am stumbling on the product import a little.
I have exported a few items to see the format. My problem is after I make some changes or try to add a new item, the import fails. What is the correct file format(.CSV, TXT,??) to import new or updated products.
Thanks
Craig

Typically those are .txt files, which is what you get when you do an export. |

OK Got it.
It was the "" that was creating the error. When I did the export every field name and data exported was in "". Example "Sku" "SitePrice" and when I removed( "" ) them from the data the import worked fine.
Thanks

Is this statement true for a New product or just updating existing products
"For the product import, the Sku, ProductName, and SitePrice fields are required. Everything else is optional."
