AI Commerce CSV features – PIM-style bulk management of product information

How CSV Features Help Your Business?

• Fast Batch Editing: Instead of clicking through each product or category setting one by one, you can export all the data to a CSV file, edit it in Excel or another spreadsheet program, and import it back into AI Commerce. This speeds up campaign preparation, price updates, and product range expansion.

• Multilingual Content Management: In CSV files, each language has its own column, allowing you to easily add or update product names, descriptions, and metadata in multiple languages simultaneously. This is particularly useful for international sales.

• Easy Organization of Products and Categories: You can build a multi-level category hierarchy or update existing categories directly in CSV format. This ensures that your customers can efficiently find products and that your store remains organized even with large selections.

Extensive Support for Attributes and Attribute Sets:

• Customized Product Features: AI Commerce supports various types of attributes, such as select and multiselect, whose values (e.g., color list or brand names) are easy to update in batch editing.

• Management of Entire Product Structures: You can define different attribute groups (attribute sets) by product types, facilitating data maintenance and ensuring that products within the same category have similar attributes.

• Agile Expansion: Adding unique features, such as battery capacity or material, is effortless. You can update new attribute groups and their contents all at once—without individual manual adjustments.

• Scalable Product Management: Whether you are managing hundreds or thousands of products, the CSV-based process allows for fast updates and minimizes errors. This saves time, especially during seasonal campaigns or when introducing entirely new product lines.

Examples of Utilization

1. Updating Prices and Stock Balances: Export the entire product database to a CSV file, update the price fields or stock quantities in Excel, and import the file back with just a few clicks.

2. Seasonal Campaigns: Add campaign prices, discount percentages, or new categories all at once—perfect for organizing events like Black Friday or summer sales.

3. Brand and Manufacturer Selection: Update optional attributes (like brand, size, color) in one file. During import, you can define the order of optional values and translations into different languages.

4. Extensive Language Updates: If you are expanding to a new country, input new language versions with a single bulk import without individual manual entries.

5. Consistent Attribute Groups: Create separate attribute sets for different product groups (e.g., phones vs. clothing) and manage them conveniently with CSV. This ensures a consistent data structure across the entire range.

Features of Quality Batch Editing

• Validation and Error Messages
  The system checks the CSV structure before updating data. Invalid rows are skipped or a warning is issued, ensuring that problematic data does not make it to production.

• Capacity for Large CSV Files
  AI Commerce's CSV solution is designed to handle thousands of rows. Large product catalogs or extensive campaign packages do not slow down the process—the system adapts to growth.

• Partial Updates
  You can choose which fields (e.g. price, stock, meta-data) you want to update, leaving others unchanged. You can also target batch editing for a specific category area or product group.

• Backup and Security
  Before making extensive changes, we recommend backing up—this way, you can revert to the previous state if you notice something needs fixing. Secure practices ensure that your online store is always operational.

Benefits at a Glance

• Time Savings: Bulk edits and quick fixes with a single product management tool.

• Better Data Quality: Using the same CSV file ensures that information is consistent across all languages and product groups.

• Easy Scaling: Expanding to new markets or adding new brands is effortless when the basic framework is in place.

• Fewer Errors: When product information is updated centrally, you minimize human typing errors.

AI Commerce's CSV features encapsulate PIM-like power: seamless, multilingual product data management, comprehensive support for attributes and attribute groups, along with a suite of security and automation features that guarantee reliable batch editing. This keeps your online store up-to-date, scalable, and competitive—both in small campaigns and large product launches.
