When Check marked, the Import New Products Option will expand to provide additional options.  All new products are imported with an inactive status.  This gives you the opportunity to review each product, set pricing, and make any other changes you want.  When you are ready change the status to active for any products you want to sell. 

New Categories will also be inactive until you review an activate them.  If you activate a product but not the category then the product will not be available through the menu system.

v  If you have more than 1 web store you can hold down the CTRL Key to select Multiple Stores.

 

Note: The New Product Section will apply only to those web stores selected in the Select Stores to import Into Selection Box.

 

v  Category Option: the category option by default does not categorize the new products; this prevents new categories from being created in your store/s.  However, this also means the newly imported products will need to be manual categorized.  If you want the new product categorized select the option: “Categorize New Products”.

 

v  Attribute Group Options: as with the Category Option, by default the Attribute Group Option Neither creates nor associates any Attribute Groups to the New Products. If you do not change the option to: “Assign Attribute Groups and Options to Products” the newly imported products will need the attribute groups manually assigned.

 IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending upon how many products and Attribute Groups a be updated, this process may take a while to complete. Do not close your web browser while this is running. Please be patient, you will receive a notice when the products have been synchronized. Also, please be aware that synchronizing with the Master Catalog will change products in your ShopKart database using the Master Catalog as the source for updating. Any changes you may have made to various data fields that are being updated, will be overwritten with the values in the master catalog.
