      1. In Web Shop Manager,  hover over Catalog and click Products. 
      2. Highlight the product you wish to edit and click the Edit icon20190815__221428.

      5. In the Tags field, enter the product tags you wish to use. 
      6. Click SAVE CHANGES.

      🔎Note: In the Meta Keywords field, meta keywords must be separated by commas and entered with the most important meta keywords appearing first. You cannot repeat a word more than 7 times in the field. 

       

      Importing meta keywords and tags

      Setting up an import profile 

      Before importing meta keywords and tags to your products, you must have an import profile set up. Web Shop Manager has already created a template profile that you can copy to your own site.

      1. In Web Shop Manager,  hover over Data and click CSV Profiles. 

      2. In the search box, type Global Meta Keywords.

      3. Click Search. You should see an import profile with the title WSM (COPY ONLY) Global Meta Keywords/Tags.

      8. Optional: Rename the profile to something specific to your site and save changes. DO NOT make any other changes. 

        Creating a CSV spreadsheet for import 

        CSV spreadsheets can be created from scratch or exported as a list of current meta keywords and tags. Most prefer to export existing data and update with any needed changes.

        1. In Web Shop Manager,  hover over Data and click CSV Profiles. 

        2. In the search box, type Global Meta Keywords.

        3. Click Search. You should see an import profile with the title WSM (COPY ONLY) Global Meta Keywords/Tags.

        7. Save the file with a new name.  This preserves the original file as a backup in case something goes wrong.  The file type should already be set to CSV UTF-8.  If not, please update it.

        1. In Web Shop Manager,  hover over Data and click CSV Profiles. 

        2. In the search box, type Global Meta Keywords.

        • Red import errors appear in the report. 
        • An import report does not appear.
        • Import results are not what you expected.
