Step 1 – Feed configuration for Shopify Excel import
There are several options exist how to upload Excel file
— from PC
— from URL, FTP, Dropbox, Google sheets etc.
— from Email
— sometimes it is necessary to download file from supplier website under client's login & password (it is possible but will require custom development)

Step 2 – Excel format selection during Excel Shopify import
— by default, the system does not know the format of file you defined,
— clever algorithm tries to detect format itself (in your case Excel file) for Shopify
— if you see any issue with format detection, you can set the right variant manually
Step 4 – Columns definition for Excel file
— each file for Shopify import has columns
— user has to define what column contains names, what column contains prices. It is columns matching
— there are 2 ways how to do that for Excel file at yfifx
1) via column definition
2) via product model fields definition(advanced mode – extended settings)
Step 4.1 — Loading categories during Shopify Excel import
1) If the categories and subcategories are located in different columns, then to load them, you need to define the name of the columns as Category1, Category2, etc.
2) If the categories and subcategories are located in the same cell, then we define the column name as CategoryMultivalued. Then go to the Extended Settings in the Categories tab, in the CategoryDelimiter line, enter the separator between the category and the subcategory. In my example, this is a slash.

Step 4.2 — Loading basic product data during Shopify Excel import
Basic information about the product – SKU, Name (required fields for downloading), Price, Quantity, etc. To load them, you need to correctly match the column names.

Step 4.3 — Uploading images during Shopify Excel import
1) If the links to the images are located in separate columns, then you need to define the name for each column as “Image 1 (URL)”
2) If all links to images are located in one column in one cell, we define the column name as “Image1 (URL)”. Next, go to the Extended Settings → Images tab, in the "ImagesDelimiter" line, enter the separator between the images.

Step 4.4 — Loading features during Shopify Excel import
1)Bulk loading of features. If the columns with features in the file go one after the other, then for the first column with the feature, we define the name as "FeatureFirst", the names and values of the remaining columns will be loaded automatically.
2) If the columns with features are out of order in the file, then the columns with features are defined as "Feature1", "Feature2" and so on. And enter the name of the feature in the "FeatureName" lines in the Extended Settings in the Features tab.

Step 4.5 — Loading products with variants during Shopify Excel import
1)To load products with variants, there must be a column with an SKU in the file that will combine all the variants (we define it as an SKU) and for each variant a column with its own unique SKU (we define the column as a CombinationSku). In the Extended Settings → the Combinations tab, we enter from which columns to take values for Price, Quantity, Image, etc.
2)Be sure to download the options variants — this is what distinguishes one product variant from another, for example, it may be the size or color of the product. To do this, we define columns with options as "Combination. Option1", "Combination. Option2”, etc., and in the Extended settings → the Combinations tab, in the "OptionName" lines, enter the name of the options.
