Example products.txt file
 
Suppose you want your website in English (EN) and Spanish (ES). In addition, you send us two categories (ca1, ca2) and two products for each category (pd1, pd2, pd3, pd4). Then, if you want to group your products pd1 and pd2 in category ca1 and group your products pd3 and pd4 in category ca2, your products.txt file would look like:
 
ca1-EN-categoryname1
ca1-ES-categoryname1
pd1-EN-productname1
Description: Product/Service description in EN (English)
pd1-ES-productname1
Description: Product/Service description in ES (Spanish)

Promotional Price: $42.00
pd2-EN-productname2
Description: Product/Service description in EN (English)
pd2-ES-productname2

Categories

 
Specify a png image file for each category (ca#) included in the plain text file products.txt:
  • ca#-imagetitle.png - Minimum size in px: 872 x 297, where # will be 1, 2, 3 and 4 depending on the number of categories in products.txt.
  • We will use imagetitle in the filename as the title of the image.
 
Example ca#-imagetitle.png file
 
Following our previous example, where we have added two categories (ca1, ca2) to the products.txt file, then we must have one image for each category:
  • ca1-imagetitle.png - Image associated with category 1 (ca1).
  • ca2-imagetitle.png - Image associated with category 2 (ca2).
 

Products

 
Specify a png image file for each product (pd#) included in the plain text file products.txt:
  • pd#-imagetitle.png - Minimum size in px: 288 x 265, where # will be a number from 1 to 16 depending on the number of products in products.txt.
  • We will use imagetitle in the filename as the title of the image.
 
Example pd#-imagetitle.png file
 
Continuing with our initial example, where we have added two products to the product.txt file for each of the two categories (pd1, pd2, pd3, pd4), then we must have one image for each product:
  • pd1-imagetitle.png - Image associated with product 1 (pd1)
  • pd2-imagetitle.png - Image associated with product 2 (pd2)
  • pd3-imagetitle.png - Image associated with product 3 (pd3)
  • pd4-imagetitle.png - Image associated with product 4 (pd4)
 

Promotionals

 
Specify two png image files, one pu-xx-title.png (promotional up) and one pd-xx-title.png (promotional down):
  • pu-xx-imagetitle.png - Minimum size in px: 398 x 289 
  • pd-xx-imagetitle.png - Minimum size in px: 398 x 289
  • We will use imagetitle in the filename as the title of the image.
If the promotional items contain text, just as before, replacing xx with EN (English), ES (Spanish), DE (German), FR (French), IT (Italian), PT (Portuguese).
 
Example pu-xx-imagetitle.png, pd-xx-imagetitle.png files
 
Returning to our initial example, where we have decided that our website will be presented in English (EN) and Spanish (ES), then we must have the following files:
  • pu-EN-imagetitle.png
  • pu-ES-imagetitle.png
  • pd-EN-imagetitle.png
  • pd-ES-imagetitle.png
 

Example products.zip file

 
Taking into account the four examples above, i.e., assuming you want your website in English (EN) and Spanish (ES), which sends us two categories and two products for each category, in addition to the two promotional ones each in English and Spanish, your products.zip compressed file will contain eleven files:
  • products.txt
  • ca1-imagetitle.png
  • ca2-imagetitle.png
  • pd1-imagetitle.png
  • pd2-imagetitle.png
  • pd3-imagetitle.png
  • pd4-imagetitle.png
  • pu-EN-imagetitle.png
  • pu-ES-imagetitle.png
  • pd-EN-imagetitle.png
  • pd-ES-imagetitle.png
Replace imagetitle with the title of your images.
