(1)SKU: “Stock Keeping Unit” abbreviation, fill in the self-set barcode, so that the corresponding product can be quickly found when shipping later.

(3)product-type (product category): If you don’t know what category the product belongs to, you can query it in the “Valid Values” of the inventory file. For example, if the seller downloads the inventory of the sports category, you can select “Sporting Goods” here. The maximum length is 25 characters.
(4)product-title-English (product English title): The platform will automatically convert English into Spanish or Portuguese. You can also refer to the product titles and details pages of peer sellers or similar products. The maximum length is 150 characters. For example, for a LED sports rechargeable flashlight, you can fill in “Sport Wrist Watch LED Illuminated”.

Then, use the text column to organize them together, and then copy and fill in the form. If you need to insert two images, write the image link in the image column and use ~^~ to separate the product image URL, for example:
http://img2.mlstatic.com/sMLB_vIf_2331073219038.jpg~^~http://img2.mlstatic.com/sMLBvIf233107321 9038.ipg
