Another of our Advanced Parameters<\/a> in PrestaShop 1.5 is the CSV Import. This section allows you to import data using files that use the CSV format> CSV means Comma Separated Values and is usually a simple text file populated with rows of data. The data fields are separated by a specific delimiter such as a comma (most common), tab, or semi-colon. The import function will take the file and import the data into the proper place within the database.<\/p>\n

    \"csv-import-step2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  5. Once you have set up your configuration, simply click the Import CSV data<\/strong> button found in the upper right corner of the screen. This initiates the import of the file into your database.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
