2.1 Account Setup
Once your Wizart PIM account is created, you’ll receive a welcome email with login credentials and instructions to access your account. Upon logging in for the first time, you’ll notice that while your My Products collection is initially empty, you won’t be starting from scratch.
Wizart automatically shares a default collection of product articles from the Wizart space, available under the Shared Products tab. These shared products will populate your account within approximately 10 minutes after setup, providing you with an initial set of materials to explore and work with. This ensures that your catalog isn’t entirely empty as you begin managing your own products.
2.2 Initial Product Upload
When you’re ready to upload your own product data to PIM, it involves two main components:
Product Images: High-quality images of materials like wallpaper, tiles, or flooring.
Metadata: Product information such as brand, collection, SKU, and material type.
Steps for Uploading Products:
Prepare your data: Bundle your product images into a ZIP file, and create a CSV file containing the relevant metadata (e.g., product names, SKUs, descriptions).
Log in to your PIM account and go to the Import tab.
Select the appropriate product type from the drop-down menu (e.g., laminate, wall mural, vinyl flooring).
Download the default CSV template (if required), fill in the necessary fields, and upload it along with the ZIP file.
Click the Import button and wait for the upload to complete. You’ll be notified when the data is successfully added, along with details on any issues that may have occurred.
After uploading, your newly added products will be available in the My Products tab for you to manage, edit, or delete as needed.
2.3 Import File Requirements
Before uploading your product images and metadata, it’s important to ensure that your files meet Wizart’s specific formatting and data standards. This includes proper image dimensions, file types (e.g., JPEG, PNG), and the CSV file structure. Meeting these requirements helps prevent upload errors and ensures that your products are accurately displayed in the Visualizer.
The import file requirements include:
Image files: Must be high-resolution and follow specific naming conventions.
CSV file: Should contain fields such as product name, SKU, brand, collection, and product category. Ensure the CSV format matches the downloadable template provided by Wizart.
For more details, refer to the File Upload Requirements section, which includes downloadable templates and step-by-step instructions for properly formatting your product data.
By following these steps, you can quickly and efficiently set up your product catalog in the PIM system, making your own products available for use in the Wizart Visualizer and Visualizer API while also benefiting from the shared products already configured in your account.
