- Click the + button to add a new import preset
- In File tab, choose a file (of CSV or XML format) that you’d like to import and enter the title of the preset
- Click Next step: map fields
Note: If you upload an XML file, you’ll also need to specify an XML target node in the field with the same name. The structure of XML files is unique and intricate, and not all data must be imported.
Switch to the Fields mapping tab. This is where you specify how to interpret your imported file:
- Match the columns or XML elements in the imported file with corresponding product properties.
- Check the example of imported data to see if the matching is correct. Make sure that the imported data follows the field format of the corresponding product property.
- If necessary, add a few modifiers. Modifiers are functions that help you change the imported data. Use the Modifiers list button to find out what modifiers exist and how to use them.

You can learn more about configuring product field mapping by checking Field Mapping page.
Switch to the Settings tab. It contains settings related to import behavior.
- Perform Test Import—enable this setting if you wish to import only the first five products from the file.
That will let you see if everything is set up correctly. If something goes wrong, it's easier to delete or fix five products than to deal with 500 after a full import. - Import Strategy—choose whether to import all products or only some of them:
- Import all products from the file—new products will be created, but if a product already exists (the existence is determined by product code), then it will be updated instead.
- Update existing products only—skip any products that don’t exist in your store; only products that already exist will be updated.
- Create new products only—skip any products that already exist in your store; only products that don’t exist in your store will be imported
- The are Additional Settings hidden in settings tab
- Delete existing files of downloadable products—if you enable this setting, then importing downloadable products will delete their existing files.
When the setting is disabled, importing a file of a downloadable product doesn’t replace the existing files, but rather adds it alongside them. - Delete existing additional images—if you enable this setting, all the additional images of a product will be replaced with the images specified in the imported file.
When the setting is disabled, importing additional images for a product doesn’t replace the existing additional images, but rather adds new images alongside the existing ones. - Delete existing attachment—if you enable this setting, then the existing attachments of the imported products will be replaced with the attachments specified in the imported file. If no attachments are specified, the old attachments will remain.
Click Import and wait until the file is importing. Once the file import is completed, be sure to check the new product listings. In case of any issue, contact us at Martmox.com.au
