Import Bulk

Overview

Import Bulk takes a single category, collection, or listing URL and expands it into many products. Instead of pasting each product link individually, you point MicroPIM at a listing page and it discovers the products found there and queues them for import.

Use Import Bulk for one section of a store (a category or collection). To import an entire catalog, use Import from Website; to import a handful of known pages, use Import from Link.

How to run a bulk import from a listing URL

To bulk import, enter one category or listing URL and MicroPIM discovers every product it links to and queues each one for import.

1. Open the Import dialog and select the Import Bulk tab.
2. Enter a single category, collection, or listing URL.
3. Confirm the supplier agreement.
4. Select Start Bulk Import.
5. MicroPIM analyzes the URL, discovers the products it links to, and creates a scrape request for each one. Track them in the Import List.
