Mass Uploading Product Lists to Instacart

[victor1]

So, to me, the key feature of Instacart should be the ability to import large amounts of product catalogues into the back end.

For example, I partner with Supermarket X who already have a digitised catalogue of 2000 products in CSV file, with all relevant fields. I should be able to upload it using the Data > Upload CSV way.

However, due to the RandomID that is created using the “Dashboard” method, it is impossible to upload Multiple Stores/Products from the back end… Uploading products one by one is absolutely unacceptable when we are talking about catalogues of 2000+ products…

How can I get around this?

Hello, @victor1. Thanks for reaching out.

The possible workaround for the department_store/store IDs is the following - you need to create manually the list of stores/department_stores in your app in order to obtain their IDs. Then - populate the IDs into the CSV file, and upload the file.

A bit more detailed flow:

1. From the front-end part:

• go to Admin panel, create a new store (screen1, screen2);
• you can find the ID of your store in the All Stores table now (screen);
• add some department stores in order to obtain it’s ID (screen1, screen2, screen3);
  (you can change the list of departments in your DepartmentType data table)
• add one test article to the All Articles table (screen1, screen2).

2. The back-end part:

• edit the CSV file you want to upload with the department_store/store columns;
• add the department_store/store IDs in the CSV file (screen).

Hello,

Would the same logic apply in Marketo? I’m considering buying the template but I need to be able to upload multiple different vendors and their entire product sets in order to get started.

Thanks! Ami
