FAQs
When will a new Product be created?
If you are uploading a Product (Variant) import, the system will perform a lookup for the SKU codes in your spreadsheet. If the SKU code exists, that Variant will be updated to match the data in your spreadsheet. If it does not exist, a new one will be created.
