How to Upload Your Product Feed
The easiest way to import your products into Pricefy is by connecting your e-commerce platform directly. Our automated import process will handle everything for you.
Alternatively, you can upload a CSV file.
If your e-commerce platform is not yet supported by our API’s quick import system, please upload your CSV file to a server and provide the address during the onboarding process. We’ll take care of the import from there.
You can also upload the CSV file by dragging it into the designated upload area.
Processing typically takes just a few seconds to a minute, depending on the size of your CSV file.
Direct connection
Pricefy uses proprietary API technology that allows you to send your product data simply by connecting your e-commerce platform with a single click.
If you use one of these platforms you can sync your catalog without having to upload any CSV file but simply connecting your e-commerce.
Magento
Shopify
BigCommerce
WooCommerce
Storeden
FTP / CSV
Feed URL
The file should be placed on an HTTPS or FTP address from which we can retrieve it. If you have IP address restriction (such as a firewall), you need to make sure that our server (IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has access to the file.
Please do not use timestamps or other information that will dynamically change the feed URL as this will prevent us from fetching the file.
Encoding
Use one of the following encodings for the CSV file:
UTF-8
UTF-16
ISO-8859-1
Windows-1252
Format
The format must be CSV. Note that the pricing file cannot be in Excel or any other non-text format. If you want to speed up our processing and your updates, compress the feed using gzip / zip.
CSV
The data must be structured in rows and columns, where one row represents a product and each column consists of fields with product information.
Each field or column must be separated by a comma (,).
Use “field qualifiers” at the beginning and end of each field. The recommended “field qualifiers” are single (”) or double (“”) quotes.
Below you can see a video about how to upload your CSV file by inserting the link during the onboarding process.
