Import from Website
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Import from Website imports a full catalog from a website you have configured in MicroPIM. Instead of pointing at a single page, you select a saved Website and MicroPIM discovers its products through the site’s sitemap, then queues each one for import.
Use this method for a whole-store import. For a single section, use Import Bulk; for a few known pages, use Import from Link.

How to import a full catalog from a website
Section titled “How to import a full catalog from a website”To import a full catalog, select a configured Website, run a Sitemap Import, and MicroPIM discovers and queues every product URL from sitemap.xml.
- Open the Import dialog and select the Import from Website tab.
- Choose a configured Website from the dropdown.
- Select the Sitemap Import method to import all products from the site’s
sitemap.xml. - Confirm the supplier agreement and start the import.
- MicroPIM discovers the sitemap, filters product URLs, and processes them in batches. Each product becomes a scrape request in the Import List.
Sitemap discovery
Section titled “Sitemap discovery”- MicroPIM locates and parses the site’s sitemap, filters for product URLs, and imports them in large batches.
- Products are de-duplicated so the same URL is not imported twice.
- Depending on catalog size, a full-website import can produce many requests and take time to complete.
