Checkout using an xls/csv file

Placement of an order using an XLS/CSV file is relevant in case of periodic purchase of the same product, since to use this functionality you need to know the article number. The article is a digital or literal value used to identify the product.

After the file contains the required number of product items and their article numbers are indicated, click the Download from file button,  which is also available in the Shoppingand Orders sections.

In the window that opens, select the field of the product identifier (article), which will be checked in the product catalog:

Click the Download  button  and specify the local path to the created file. 

If the file contains articles that are not on the platform, an error message will be displayed in the processing of the file. Those positions that are present on the platform will be recorded.

In step 2, indicate the modification of the product, if the product has one, but was not indicated in the file. You can also change the quantity of an item and remove it from the order if necessary by unchecking the Add to order checkbox for it.

Click Next, you will be prompted to select a warehouse, in case of using several warehouses:

After choosing a warehouse, click Next to add all downloaded products from the file to the cart.
