Find this feature

From the Main Menu of your Site Manager, click Data Update (in the Products column).

Introduction

SMC lists new products every month.  Since your e-commerce site is connected to the SMC inventory database, it is capable of updating these new products using the Data Update feature with just a few clicks.

Data Update Options

There are four options you can choose for a data update.  Read them carefully to make sure you know which one you want to choose.

Delete all existing departments and products (including non-SMC) and replace them with new SMC data.

This option will remove every single product and department from the site and replace them with the current set of SMC data.

If you have added products or departments to the site which you do not want to lose, choose another option.  This option removes all existing products and departments.

Delete all SMC products and replace them with new SMC data. All non-SMC products are preserved. Departments with non-SMC products will not be deleted.

This update option removes all existing SMC products and departments, and does not remove or overwrite non-SMC products.

Delete all discontinued SMC products and delete empty departments.

This update option removes all discontinued SMC products and all empty departments from your site, except for discontinued items that are still in stock.

If a discontinued item is still in stock, this item will leave it on your site.  If the discontinued item stock runs out later, it will not automatically be removed at that time.  You can run this data update option again to remove products now out of stock and discontinued.

Add all new SMC products that are missing from your store.

Using this option will add all SMC products that you do not currently have on your site.
