Part 2: Edit the Downloaded Excel File

1. Updating Packaging Information

  • Open the downloaded Excel file.
  • Locate the columns for packaging details: Minimum Items in a box, Maximum Items in a box, Box Length, Box Width, and Box Height.
  • Update these values as needed for each product. Ensure the dimensions are for the final, packed product to ensure accurate shipping calculations.

2. Updating Product Images

  • Find the columns labeled Image 1, Image 2, etc.
  • In these cells, you must paste the public URL (link) of the new image you want to use. You can get these links from image hosting services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
  • After entering all your updates, save the Excel file.
Important: You must provide a direct public link to the image file (e.g., ending in .jpg or .png). Do not paste the image itself into the Excel cell. Also, do not modify the Product ID or Vendor Code columns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Why is accurate packaging information so important?

The box dimensions (length, width, height) and weight are used to calculate shipping costs for customers and logistics partners. Inaccurate data can lead to incorrect shipping charges, causing issues for both you and your customers.

2. How do I get a public URL for my images?

You can upload your images to a cloud storage service like Google Drive or Dropbox. After uploading, you must change the sharing settings to make the file accessible to "Anyone with the link" and then copy the public sharing link to paste into the Excel file.

3. What happens if I make a mistake in the file?

If there is an error in a specific row (e.g., an incorrect Product ID or a badly formatted image URL), the system will skip the update for that row and proceed with the rest. It will not affect the other products in your file. It's always a good practice to double-check your file before uploading
