Match-based import can allow users to augment additional data to existing items that are already in PDX based on matching values for a single attribute that exists in PDX as well as in the import spreadsheet. The match-based import is for augmenting or updating existing products only as this process will not import new products.
The number of products affected by the match-based import is identified.
In the spreadsheet example below, all existing products in PDX with a Style ID that matches any of the values listed in the spreadsheet column 'STYLE ID' will be identified by the import process. Those identified products with matching 'Style ID' values will have their attribute values updated based on the data contained in the imported spreadsheet. In this instance, the values contained in the 'Country of Origin' and 'Sellable in Store' columns will overwrite the existing values or create new values for those attributes in the products with the matching 'Style ID' value.
Note: The attribute values from the match identifier column will not be affected by the match-based import.
