Product Fields in the Import CSV

These field definitions describe the scope of TB.One's features and technical requirements. The channel requirements may differ from this. Generally, TB.One is able to store more characters per field than the channels will accept. You should aim to provide as many fields as possible while keeping the contents of the individual fields short and concise. Always keep any channel-specific requirements in mind!

You need to provide channel-specific columns for each of your channels.

 

TIP:
The table's second column only indicates, whether a field is considered a technical requirement by TB.One. Most channels require additional fields to be filled.

 

TIP:
An explanation of the variables in the field names (displayed in square, curly and angle brackets) can be found here.
