Import items products from inRiver

If you use inRiver, you can import your product data using a connection created by XSARUS. 

In this article, you'll learn how to set up your inRiver connection with the API URL and API key you received from XSARUS.

Step 1: Create your inRiver connection

1. In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
2. Go to Setup, click + Set up import and select inRiver by Xsarus.
3. Fill in the following information:
   1. For Label, give your channel a descriptive name.
   2. For URL, paste your webshop URL. 
      Important: Be sure to remove any extra / at the end of your URL. The URL should end with the domain extension(e.g. .com, .net)
   3. For API Key, enter the API key you received from Xsarus.
   4. For Language, select the language your product data is in.
4. Click Connect with inRiver by Xsarus to finalize your connection.
5. Give your connection a name.
6. Click Start import. You'll be redirected to the Edit Mapping step to map your product information.
    

Step 2: Map your product data

Edit mapping displays fields retrieved from your inRiver account (e.g. price, description, title). 

In this step, match your imported fields to Channable's standardized project fields. Channable does most mapping automatically, but it's important to review and adjust before importing. 

1. Compare and adjust mapping.
   • Review your Import fields against Channable's matched Project fields. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
2. Check and correct field types.
   • Check that the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click Edit next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click Save & Import.
3. Exclude fields (optional).
   • To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the Select column for that field and click Do not import selected fields.
4. Once you've finished mapping, click Save & Import to start importing your product data.

Step 3: Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

1. Go to the Items page to view your imported products.
2. Click on an item to see detailed information. 

Your inRiver import is now successfully set up! You can now use this product data to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
