Export Settings: Basic Set-Up

If no interface is yet activated on the tab Preferences of your export settings, first select one from interfaces. Alternatively, you can define your own interfaces.

Selection of Interface and Export Profile

Interface - Select an interface: Preconfigured interfaces can be activated in the section My Account -> Subscriptions". Individual interfaces can be set up and managed on the menu Interfaces -> Interface Creator".

Select an Export Profile - Select an export profile for your interface or create a new profile. Export Profiles save the settings for an interface and therefore control the content of individual export files or data streams that get created by it.

Export Profile

Settings for interfaces with downloadable export files

• File Type

Choose how you want to download your export files, for example, as a ZIP package or separately.

Note: This field is only visible for those interfaces, that have a value in the "Split File" setting.

• Name

freely selectable, only for internal display

• File Name

Name of the file to be downloaded (please, do not use special characters, spaces etc.)

• Short Description

Short Description of your settings (optional).

• Split File

Here you can specify the maximum number of items (records) that are to be included in an export file (optional).

Suppose your export file from csv4you.com contains about 5000 records and is about 10 MB in size. However, the import into your shop system allows only 2 MB per file / upload. For example, if you enter 1000, you will get 5 files, each with 1000 records and approximately 2 MB size. These 5 files can be then sequentially imported into your system.

• Modify Direct Link 'xXxXxX'

If you have already saved an export file, you can change the URL for your file at any time, e.g. for safety reasons (optional). The link to your export file can be found in the box on the right.

Settings for Interfaces with Data Streams (Direct API)

• Name

freely selectable, only for internal display

• Short Description

For product texts stored in different languages

Note: These two options are only available if at least one product text in a 2nd language exists in the data pool.

• Currency | Convert

Select a currency and whether the prices from the data pool shall be converted into this currency.

Example: You have U.S. dollar values in the data pool, but all prices of your export file must appear in Euro. Then select EUR and yes.

This of course is also possible vice versa - should you have EUR values in the data pool and need U.S. dollar prices for your interface.

The content of the price field is automatically adjusted to the selected after decimal format.

Wählen Sie ein Template für die Produktbeschreibung aus

Produkttemplates müssen unter Schnittstellen ->Produkttemplates angelegt und eingerichtet sein. Ist kein Template bestimmt, wird beim Erstellen Ihrer Exportdatei der Wert aus Beschreibung übernommen, der in Ihren einzelnen Datensätzen/Produkten hinterlegt ist (Datenpool ->Produkte).

Mit Hilfe eines Templates lassen sich die einzelnen Beschreibungstexte z.B. um zusätzliche Bilder, allgemeine Texte oder Hinweise erweitern. Diese müssen dann nur ein Mal im Template zusammen mit dem Platzhalter für die Produktbeschreibung gespeichert werden (siehe dazu auch Hilfetext unter Schnittstellen ->Produkttemplates).
