Sure would to start loading my inventory in square, but the csv file will not download.

Mine will not download either. I recently switched from PayPal specifically for this feature. Please resolve.

@pellet_dude - I wasn't able to replicate this issue using your account. Would you mind resetting your browser? You can also check out these troubleshooting steps.

@sprinklechallah - While I'm not seeing any issues with the "Import Items" tool, I was able to see an issue with the "Export Items" tool. Does that sound correct? I'll sync up with our Engineering Team, and then loop back with you when I have more details.

Hi,

I cleared my cache and checked my cookie settings. I also tried in addition to chrome: firefox and explorer. All give me errors.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

@frankBMC - It sounds like you may also be experiencing the same/similar issue as these other sellers. I went ahead an moved your comment here and added your account to the ticket that I sent over to engineering.

I have some items in my library, but want to add more. When I click on import, I don't get the template. I have tried everything I can think of. I have many more to add and don't want to do them by hand. Please advise.

@nanc512 - You should be able to locate the template by using the "Export" option.

When I click export, I get a csv file of my catalog. I imported items when I first started adding to my register and it worked. I am not sure what it is wrong, probably user error. ha ha

@nanc512 - It's on us. We're currently experiencing some issues with our Import/Export tool. You can just edit the exported file, edit it, and then import it. It will update your item library.

I tried that and it was a mess, the fields aren't the same, I had one sku per item and it inputted the same sku twice, I had to delete both. I was hoping this would work for me for all my shows, local sales, etc.... I am not sure it is the right choice. I am having too much trouble trying to streamline getting my items added. Very disappointing.

@nanc512 - So sorry to hear my suggestion isn't working for you. 😕 I did try to replicate what you described by taking a peek at your Export .CSV, but I'm having a hard time seeing the issue. Would you mind sharing more details?

Re: Can anyone send me the item template csv file?

nanc512 — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 19:34:44 GMT

I did an export and deleted the items, left the headers in place, added my new items to the sheet. I just tried it again. I named the file itemsbulk-template, because I found out that was the template name. This time it tells me there is 1 error in my document, but it doesn't tell me what it is.

@nanc512 - Is it possible that you may have changed or deleted a column/column title? It's extremely "delicate."

Re: Can anyone send me the item template csv file?

nanc512 — Mon, 19 Sep 2016 20:26:25 GMT

The template won't download, so I don't know for sure. Is it the same format as the export or the items bulk template?
