This article details how to import your products from your shopping cart into Sproxi. After connecting your store to Sproxi, any saved changes are updated/saved/changed in Sproxi as well. The import feature imports your catalog from your store into Sproxi.
Once imported, Sproxi will detect web hooks from your shopping cart reflecting those changes in your listings in Sproxi for that specific store. Once you import your listing for the first time, you may not ever need to import again. There are some occasions when you may want to re-import.
When a new product is created in a connected shopping cart, Sproxi holds this listing in what we call an “unconfirmed” status. This status offers a layer of protection to prevent malformed or incomplete creation of Google Listings in Sproxi. For additional information about this, please consult the KB article titled “Orphaned and Unconfirmed Listings from Your Shopping Cart.” The important thing to know about unconfirmed listings related to imports is that once you re-import your shopping cart into Sproxi, any listings in “unconfirmed status” are automatically “confirmed” and no other actions would be required.
Products may be imported directly from a connected sales channel and/or from a CSV import. This article outlines the process of importing products from a connected Shopify store. The process for WooCommerce is similar.
