Using the Quick Order
-
On the store, an Upload CSV button will appear.
-
Click this to open a dialog with two tabs: File Upload and CSV Paste.
a. File Upload
-
Either drag and drop your CSV file or select it from your computer.
-
A template is provided where you can enter SKUs and quantities. Products with matching SKUs in the product table will be added to the cart.
-
If you want to manually upload a CSV file, ensure your CSV file contains two columns: SKU and Quantity.
-
Once the CSV file is successfully uploaded without any errors, you will be directed to an intermediary screen where you can select the items you wish to add to your cart.
-
If there are errors in the file, you’ll see a notification at the top listing errors and their line numbers. A downloadable error report is also available.
b. CSV Content Paste
-
Use the text box to paste CSV content directly (formatted as SKU, Quantity, e.g.,
TSL-LM-A101, 9
). -
Click Validate Content to check the entries. If all SKUs and quantities are valid, you’ll proceed to a screen where you can choose which items to add to the cart.
-
Once the CSV content is successfully validated without any errors, you will be directed to an intermediary screen where you can select the items you wish to add to your cart.
-
If issues with SKUs are detected (e.g., missing SKUs), an error message and downloadable error report will be provided.
Tip: The maximum allowed size for the CSV file is 5 MB.
Once you’ve completed the Quick Order setup, you’re ready to start using the feature on your store. Quick Order feature is designed to streamline bulk purchasing, making it easier for your customers to add products to their cart quickly.
