How to configure CSV, TXT Feed

If you select a CSV or TXT file type at the tab Content Settings, you can create/edit attribute schema for your feed.

Note

When you use pre-installed templates, you need to verify that the attributes from the template response are set for the same values as your store attributes.
If this attribute does not exist in your store, set the appropriate product attributes or patterns for the same line.

Content Settings

Before creating the attribute scheme, you need to fill in the required file settings:

New CSV

  • Fields Delimiter - delimiter which allows you to split a text into columns in your feed file. Supported delimiters are:
    • Comma ","
    • Tab "\t"
    • Colon ":"
    • Space " "
    • Vertical pipe "|"
    • Semi-colon ";"
  • Fields enclosure - allows you to enclose data in your feed file.
  • Include Columns Header - set to "Yes" to include a header row (attribute names) in the first line of your feed file.
  • Extra header - set to "Yes" to include an additional header row in the first line of your feed file. It will always be above the first attributes row or columns header.

Field Mapping

In the field mapping table, you can add/remove rows, change rows ordering, set the output type, and the symbols limit. Each row in a mapping table is a column in the data feed file.

To add a new column to your CSV feed, you need to create a new row and fill it with a few parameters:

  • Column Name - the header column name.
  • Value Type - the following types are available:
    • Pattern - allows you to enter a static value or use patterns like those from the XML template.
    • Attribute - allows you to select any store attribute from the drop-down list.
    • Parent Product - allows you to export configurable products. In this case, simple associated products will have an attribute. If you have configurable or bundle products, we suggest you use this Type Parent Product with the fields: "Product URL", "Grouped ID"
  • Value - allows you to select the attribute or put in place the pattern for the column output.

Note

To modify the Value output, click on the cogwheel in the required column to use the Add Modifier button.
There will appear a list of available modifiers for usage.
