Importing
Now that you have your import file you’re ready to go ahead with your import. But first, it’s important to backup your database. This is done so that you can restore to your backup after the import (thereby wiping the changes you made) if you need to.
To Backup:
- Click Main Menu then choose > General > Backup Data
- Select the location you’d like to save the backup.
- Click Next.
To import:
- Click Main Menu then choose > General > Import Data
- Select the Products data type at the top of the screen.
- Click the Browse button to select the file you’d like to import then click Next.
- In this screen match the inFlow field name to the right column in your file by selecting it from the drop down list.
- Once you’re satisfied with your matches, click Next.

inFlow will import your products and let you know what has been updated!
If your update didn’t go according to plan and you’d like to reverse it please use the backup you made before your import.
To Restore Data:
- Click the Main Menu button > General > Restore Data.
- Select your backup file.
- Click Next.
Now that you’ve restored your pre-import backup you can try the import again.
