Import from Link
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Import from Link pulls product data from specific product page URLs. Paste the address of a product you want in MicroPIM and the platform scrapes the title, description, price, images, and other available fields, then creates the product for you.
Use this method when you already know the exact product pages you want — for a full category or catalog, use Import Bulk or Import from Website instead.
