Importing UPC Question with pulling the rest of the data?

Post by koltz »

I have a list of UPC codes, if I just import the UPC codes, will the rest of the data get automatically pulled from Amazon, or do I need to do something else to get the data like opening each item?

Thanks for your help!

Copy paste the list into add multiple feature under edit (the field is a one liner but it can handle a list separated by returns). It will then do a search for each and import all the information. Alternatively if you do import the list as a text file it will only import the UPC number; but select all and use the get more info command under the advance menu to download more data. Both techniques will work, but I recommend the first as it will proceed through the search sites until it finds information, unlike the get more info that will only use the selected site.

Thanks for the quick post, is there a limit on how many can be pasted in the first method?

Thanks,

If there is a limit, we have yet to hear about it. :)

Well it supported over 3000, so I am very impressed, though waiting now to see how long it takes to process.
