Build an Inventory Import/Export Format

The Import Formats feature in Ecomdash is utilized to specify how .csv files are interpreted, while the Export Formats feature determines how the .csv file is written when it comes to exports. These files can be used to either create new products or update existing ones.

In this article, we will discuss how to add and set up the Inventory Import/Export Formats.
