Manually importing products into Storbie

Prerequisites

You need to know WHAT products you plan to export, and GROUP them accordingly. You can use any of the following options for grouping:

• Department
• Catalogue
• Product Type
• Stock take Section
  
  They should be in a collection no larger than 3000 products. Storbie cannot import more than 3000 lines in a CSV. If you want to import more than 3000 products, you need to split the groups into multiples.
