Adding Fields to Product Info
 

I'd like to add additional information about products in the Details area.

Such as,

Color, Size, Features, Materials.

The problem I face is that my current supplier updates their catalog daily which I can download in .csv format. Each one of those options is in a separate column which I would like to be able to identify like !COLOR then have any of the information in that column to display under

Detals:
SKU
PRICE
COLOR
SIZE
MATERIAL

etc. etc.

Also when I download my products I see a !CATEGORYID is there any way for me to get around using this? and just use the !CATEGORY to place products threwout the store?

Any help would be great.

Have a look at this, will explain how to import:

As for the extra data, use Extra Fields :)

Wow I didn't even see that lol. Thanks balinor.

Re: Adding Fields to Product Info
 

Ok so I've enter the extra fields and when I export them it looks like this

Row # 1[Products]
Row #2 !PRODUCTID | !PRODUCTCODE


Row # 50 [Product Extra fields]
Row # 51 !Color | !length |


is there any way i can put the [Extra Fields] and [Products] on the same line (row #1) ? so when I reach the end of the Products options it will start [Product Extra fields] on Row 1 instead of row 50? Or will this not accept during uploading?


Does this make any sense at all? haha

Also everytime I try and import anything even as small as 2 options i get,

Error of recognition the first row of CSV-file (should be the columns names).

I have tried

[PRODUCTS]

!PRODUCTCODE !PRODUCT !PRICE

and

[PRODUCTS] !PRODUCTCODE !PRODUCT !PRICE
What the hell am I doing wrong?

I'm saving the file as .csv with comma and trying to import as comma.
