This section describes how to perform osCommerce customers import to osCommerce from .csv file - bulk update of customers.
Pay attention to each Wizard's page while importing osCommerce customers. Import is a rather complicated procedure and it may be destructive if performed incorrectly. Create database backup before importing customers, especially if you do it for the first time.
To import customers to osCommerce follow a few steps listed below:
3. Specify the .csv file path and name or use browse button
to select one.
You can load previously saved import configuration on this step.
4. Source file preview shows a part of .csv file selected to import. There are no options to set, but you should pay some attention to the following fields delimiter and quote character, if some are used.
If you carefully check the very first line of the example, you'll notice that some words enclosed in quotes (") and are separated by comma (,) symbol. That are two important options you have to pay attention to - you will have to setup these settings on the next page. Usually it is seen in the first line, no need to investigate entire file.
