Import ICEcat product specifications
Import ICEcat product specifications
To import the product specifications from ICEcat the field features must be added to the import file or template. Since the specifications are added to the end of the product description, it is advised to also include the product_desc field.
A sample CSV file would look like this:
product_sku;manufacturer_name;product_name;product_desc;product_s_desc;features
NP-R522-ET01DE;Samsung;;;;This example CSV will load the Samsung R522-Aura T6400 Edira laptop product information.
Styling the table
The product specifications are added as a table to the end of the product description. The table has an ID called prod_features, this can be used to style the table. Each table row that contains the group name has a class called feature.
