Catalog Format (v4)

Use this catalog format to keep your product catalog in sync with YBM Connect. It provides a structured way to exchange product details, bundles, prices and supporting data. The format can be used for a manual upload or an automated SFTP import.

v4 remains supported for existing integrations. Use the format already configured for your integration.

Required data

Each product requires a Product ID, Product name and category information according to the format configured for the existing integration. This legacy format is not intended for new integrations.

Column order

The columns below are mapped by position. Include every column and keep the order unchanged. Optional values may be empty, but their columns must remain in the file. Include a header row for people who work with the file, but do not rely on its labels for validation.

Use consecutive rows with the same Product ID for multiple bundles. All values other than the bundle fields must be identical on these rows.

Bundle fields are only needed when a product is supplied in a bundle. Leave the bundle size, bundle type and bundle GTIN empty for products supplied only as a single vessel or by weight.
