■ Export

Exporting can be done using only an excel sheet, or for assigning pictures to products as well. 

1. On the products page, click on "export" in the top right corner (see picture below).
2. A pop-up will appear where you can choose to export your products directly (4), which will export the data as an excel sheet.
3. In addition to that, you can turn "on" the translation button if you wish to translate your product details.    
4. You can then choose the language of exporting, choose the size of the images then click on "export", this way you'll also have the images exported.

Importing the images again after editing the sheet:

• If you ever need to edit your items using the excel sheet, you'll notice that each picture has a specific URL (under the product image column) so that once you re-import the excel sheet after editing it, all pictures will be automatically retrieved !! Below is an example of how the "product image column" will look after exporting the excel sheet !! 
  

Once your files are ready, you will receive an email from ecomz with your exported files.

That's all when it comes to importing and exporting products on your ecomz store!
