Managing Variant Suggestions

Uploading Variant Suggestions

The sole method for uploading variant suggestions to the Kaufland Marketplace is through CSV files. This format is advantageous for submitting multiple variant suggestions simultaneously, allowing for batch updates within a single file.

Uploading Variant Suggestions via CSV File

To upload a CSV file to the Kaufland Marketplace, it must first be made accessible for download via a public HTTP or HTTPS link. Once the file is available online, you can submit the URL to the Kaufland Marketplace. The system will then download and process the file asynchronously, verify the data's validity, and integrate it into the database. Please note that there is a limit of 30 feeds per day for uploading variant suggestion data. Therefore, it is advisable to combine data for multiple variant suggestions into a single CSV file whenever feasible.

The following steps show the process for importing a CSV file into the Kaufland Marketplace via API:

1. Create a CSV file for variant suggestions (as detailed on the Variant Suggestions CSV Files page).
2. Upload the CSV file to a publicly accessible web server (e.g.,http://www.example.com/my_variant_suggestions.csv).
3. Submit a POST request to the /variant-suggestions/feed/upload-by-url endpoint in the REST API. The request body should contain a JSON object with the URL. For example, the JSON would be:

   {
   	"url": "http://www.example.com/my_variant_suggestions.csv",
   }
   

4. Await processing. Depending on the volume of suggestions, it may take hours or even days for the data to be checked and processed. You can check the current status of your file using the /variant-suggestions/feed REST API endpoint, which provides a list of all your import files and their statuses. If the async_import_done attribute of a file is set to 1, it indicates successful import into the Kaufland Marketplace.
