How to edit items using inventory file
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

Hi,

I am a new seller. I have imported some items from my Amazon store. I try to modify some attributes of my items using the inventory files. But it creates a new listing instead of changing the exist listing. Does bonanza have any ways to edit the existing items using an inventory file?

A CSV file can be uploaded and an existing item updated with new/changed information. In order to do that, the CSV file needs to contain a “force_update” field and the appropriate value in that field. Also, the item listing has to have an “ID” field. The ID field is how the system identifies the item as the same item when updating the information.

I have items whose sizes are listed in the title and in the traits… I only want to update the title, quantity, and traits fields… can I do this via csv or do I have to have all of the required fields as if it were for a new listing? oh, and I have force_update=true… Thanks !

Inventory file only imports the listings..to make changes to listings you will need to use the batch edit, unless you just delete the old and then re-upload a new file with the corrections

Batch Edit Items
Item Traits (click on large green button to change/add traits)

Search Optimize to change/add remove attributes…

To Answer Brilliantly

Remember these tips:

  • Use links to other sources to support your opinions
  • Use examples where possible
  • Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?

Should I post a comment or an answer?

You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

Post an answer for:

  • Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question

Post a comment for:

  • "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
  • When you would like the original poster to provide more details
  • When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
