Customer and supplier upload via CSV does not differ much from the non-3PL customer and supplier data upload.

The main difference with a regular CSV product upload file is 2 fields listed below added to the CSV upload file:

N

merchant_slug

Merchant ID, found as described here.

The alias name can be used instead of ID

O

merchant_channel_slug

Merchant channel ID, found as described here.

The alias name can be used instead of ID.

P

merchant_slug

Merchant Alias, found as described here.

The alias name can be used instead of ID

Q

merchant_channel_slug

Merchant channel Alias, found as described here.

The alias name can be used instead of ID.

Any combination of these values can be used to create 3rd parties with a CSV file.

Preconditions:

  • Make sure each identifier_number in the CSV belongs to one third_party with the same name and identifier_type.

Here you can find the template.

Make sure to use exactly the format specified in the template for each entry and separate the values by ",".

Note: If using Excel, be sure to save every CSV file you edit in UTF-8 format before uploading.
