# Oxid

Oxid eSales is a German eCommerce platform. You can import your product data from Oxid using a plugin created by our partner Response GmbH.

In this article, you'll learn how to import your product data from Oxid after installing and setting up the Oxid Channable plugin.

***

### Before you start

You'll need

* A Oxid account
* An Oxid Channable plugin that's installed in your Oxid backend.

### Step 1: Generate tokens in Oxid

* Log in to your Oxid eshop backend.
* Go to **Extensions > Modules**.
* Select the Channable plugin.

* Within your Channable plugin, go to the **Settings** tab.
* In the **Basic settings** dropdown, choose how you want to export your product data to Channable.
* Note your **Store token** and **Store URL**, as you will need these in the next step.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Create your Oxid connection

* In Channable, open the project where you want to import your product data.
* Go to **Setup**, click **+ Set up import**, and select **Oxid**.
* Fill in the required information:
  * For **Label**, give your import channel a descriptive name (e.g. "Oxid").
  * For **Oxid token**, fill in the **Store token** generated in Step 1.
  * For **Oxid URL**, paste the **Store URL** you noted in Step 1.
* Click **Connect with Oxid**. This takes you to your import settings.
  * For **Name**, give your Oxid connection a descriptive name (e.g. "Oxid").
* Click **Start import**. You'll be redirected to the **Edit Mapping** page to map your product information.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Map your products

This page displays your import fields (fields retrieved from your Oxid webshop — e.g. price, description, title), and corresponding project fields (Channable's standardized fields used to streamline channel setups).

Note: Our system will automatically detect and map most import fields to our standardized fields, but it's important to review and adjust these before importing.

* 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.
* 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**.
* 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**.

Once you've finished mapping, click **Save & Import** to start importing your product data. Depending on how much data you're importing, this can take some time.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Check the **Status** column in **Setup** to monitor your import progress. Your product data is fully imported when the Status is **Finished**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: Review your imported items

After your product data has finished importing:

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

You're good to go! Your items are ready to use to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
