KornitX Platform Imports & Exports - ECommerce Data
What Is eCommerce Data?
Within the Kornit X Platform, your products can be set up with eCommerce data which can be downloaded within an export, updated with our import and generated in a feed to get products added to retailer sites and for many of our other integrations. eCommerce data is important as it allows for products within Product Manager to have descriptions, lead times, weights, notes, shipping carriers etc.
eCommerce imports must be imported as a CSV document.
Including this data on your products makes them look more professional and ensures an increase in product engagement. This data can be a massive benefit for suppliers and retailers. This following document details the definition and use of every column header, as well as some example and whether they are required for Feeds. LINK
This data is essential if you are hoping to add your products to Feeds, where other retailers can list your products.

Can I Set eCommerce Data Manually?
Yes, eCommerce data can be set manually by going into editing any product. You will find "eCommerce & Data" as one of the 6 main menus of any product. Within the info tab you will find all of the sections which you can add you information to.
This is a perfectly viable option if you need to make small changes but we recommend that you use the export/import as this is a quicker process and allows for multiple products to be updated at once.
Within Feeds this allows for retailers to access the products and view descriptions, in theory the more detailed the eCommerce data the more likely retailers will want to start establish a drop-ship integration relationship
How Do I Set Up eCommerce Data With The Import?
Like mentioned, eCommerce data can be added to Products via our CSV import option, this is the most used and best option for mass updating a variety of products with valid eCommerce data. To arrange this data you are best to run our "eCommerce Data" export from within a products category and open the file. Once you have this file you can add your information to the correct tabs. For example, you would add you sales description to the "ecommerce.sales_description", Lead times to "ecommerce.lead_time", Weights to "ecommerce.weight" and so on.
Once your file has been filled in completely with the relevant data you wish to add, you just need to access "eCommerce Data" from within the Imports section of Product Manager. Running this import will then automatically add this data to your products. To check this has worked completely we recommend wither downloading the export and ensuring the data is there or manually checking from within a products "eCommerce & Data" section.
