3. "Select file": Drag and drop the file back into Prediko
4. "Select header row": this will be the column name that we are grabbing for upload
Note: if you are using the template, we will auto-select the header row
5. "Match column": match what column has data
6. "Validate data": see data that we are planning to import
7. "Confirm": Upload the data
IF you have any errors, you can correct the data, upon receiving the error.
How to fill out the Templates
If there is an instructions tab on the download file, make sure to follow these accurately as any deviation may result in errors. All columns marked with an asterisk* is a mandatory field and must be filled in and make sure to remove any example data that may be in the file.
Here's an example of a correctly filled out import ✅
Errors!
If there are errors in the import they will be displayed in red on the Validation section of your import process. The reasons for the errors will be displayed on the same validation screen. You will not be able to proceed with the import unless all the errors are corrected.
Alternatively, you can ignore rows with errors and decide to import only the rows without any errors.
The most common errors include empty or partially filled-in cells, incorrect formatting, and data not present in Shopify (such as SKUs)
Make sure to leave the pre-existing instructions in place (no need to delete) these rows at the top of the file. In the Supplier import example above, the template starts at Row 5 and so this needs to be left in place here meaning the "SKU (Variant name)*" cell should always appear in A5 in this example.
If you are still receiving errors even after troubleshooting all of the above, please contact our support team through the chat.
