Import Bulk
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Import Bulk takes a single category, collection, or listing URL and expands it into many products. Instead of pasting each product link individually, you point MicroPIM at a listing page and it discovers the products found there and queues them for import.
Use Import Bulk for one section of a store (a category or collection). To import an entire catalog, use Import from Website; to import a handful of known pages, use Import from Link.
