I have recently been importing a customers products into Magento with varying success. Hopefully this post will point you in the right direction to avoid many of the pitfalls I have discovered.
I have found that the best way to import your products into Magento is to manually create a single product in each category, export the csv file of products, edit the CSV for the new products and then import again.
Export
- From the Admin Panel. ‘System’ -> ‘Import / Export’ -> ‘Profiles’.
- Select ‘Export All Products’
- Click ‘Run Profile’ from the left hand navigation
