How can I bulk import product installation guides using metafields in Shopify?

To bulk import product installation guides using metafields in Shopify, you can follow these steps using the DataEase app:

1. Set Up Metafield Definitions:

• First, ensure you have set up the metafield definitions for your installation guides in Shopify Admin. You can do this by going to Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Custom Data -> Metafields.

• Create a new metafield definition for your installation guides. For example, you might use a namespace like installation and a key like guide.

2. Prepare Your CSV File:

• Create a CSV file with at least the following columns:

• Handle: The unique identifier for each product.

• Metafield: installation.guide [type]: Replace [type] with the appropriate type for your installation guide (e.g., single_line_text_field for URLs or multi_line_text_field for text content).

Example CSV:

Handle,Metafield: installation.guide [single_line_text_field]

product-1,https://example.com/guide1.pdf

product-2,https://example.com/guide2.pdf

3. Import the CSV File:

   - Go to the DataEase app in your Shopify store.

   - In the “Home” screen, locate the “Import” section.

   - Click on the “Add File” button to add your CSV file or drag & drop it onto the app screen.

   - The app will upload and analyze your file. Ensure it recognizes your import sheet as “Products”.

   - Check the total count of items to be imported and verify that the data looks correct.

   - Click on the “Import” button to start the import process.
