products tab
This tab lets you massively select which products to enable/disable for the synchronization and the association with their respective eBay object numbers. This operation is vital in order to avoid duplicated listings on eBay. If a product is already present on eBay, but the respective object number is not present in Prestashop because the product was not synchronized using Fastbay, it is mandatory to enter its number so to link the Prestashop product with the one on eBay. This operation can be performed manually, product per product, or using a file that can be loaded with the system described below.
The tab is subdivided into the following panels.
products data
- Upload CSV file: if you have a lot of eBay object numbers and you want to associate them to the respective Prestashop products it is possible to upload a CSV file containing those data. It is mandatory that the file does not contain a header and that there are only two columns, the first one with the Prestashop product ID, the second one with the eBay object number. Each column must be separated by a ; (semicolon). Once selected the file using the Browse and upload system, it is necessary to upload it clicking on the Upload button, then you can click Import button – Make sure to follow the order described in the following image:
- Here are some examples of possible CSVs:
WRONG (there is a header)
ID;OBJECT_NUMBER
1;123456789123
2;123456789124
3;123456789125
WRONG (the separator is not a semicolon)
1,123456789123

CORRECT
1;123456789123

- Import data: once the CSV file has been uploaded as explained before, click on Start to import data.
