      Using Import Profiles

      How to create, load, and manage Import Profiles in Plytix to save your import settings.

      When importing a CSV file of your products and attributes you must go through a matching process. Import profiles let you save the settings you choose. This way, the next time you need to import a similar CSV file, you won't need to match all attributes all over again. 

      In this article, we will go over:
