# Import listings from a marketplace

Bring the listings you already have live into your inventory: choose the account, tick the listings, review the matches and import them.

In this tutorial you bring the listings you already have live on a marketplace into your RUIT
inventory. Each listing becomes a product, with its photos, and stays linked to its listing. It
takes **five minutes**, plus however long RUIT takes to bring them in if there are many, and you
can repeat it whenever you like: whatever you had already brought in is updated, not duplicated.

**You need** a marketplace account [connected to RUIT](https://ruit.es/en/docs/how-account-linking-works/) and a
[verified phone](https://ruit.es/en/docs/verify-your-phone/); if it is not verified yet, RUIT asks you to do it
when you import. For Wallapop and Vinted you also need the [extension](https://ruit.es/en/docs/install-the-extension/)
connected and the browser open for as long as the import lasts. Importing is not a paid feature.

## 1. Open the import

In **Inventory**, press **Add products** and, in the **Add to Inventory** window, **Import
Listings** (2). RUIT shows you the marketplaces it can bring listings in from.

**Import Listings** (2) brings in what you already have live; **Create Product** (1) is for
creating one by hand.

Under each marketplace, how many accounts you have connected on it. **CSV/Excel** is not a
marketplace: it is the import from a file.

**IberLibro** listings are not read from your bookshop: when you pick it, RUIT asks you for the file
you export from AbeBooks, as explained in [selling on IberLibro](https://ruit.es/en/docs/marketplaces/).

## 2. Choose the account

Press the marketplace. Your **Accounts** on it appear below: choose the one that has the listings
and press **Continue**.

An account that shows as **Expired** has to be reconnected first, with its **Reconnect** button.
And if, when you choose it, you see **Please wait for the current import to finish**, that account
already has an import running: there can only be one at a time.

## 3. Tick the listings

RUIT shows you that account's listings as cards, with their photo, their title and their price.
Tick the ones you want to bring in and press **Continue**. At the bottom, next to the button, you
can see how many you have ticked.

_Screenshot: The Select Listings step for a WooCommerce store: cards with the photo, the title and the price of each listing, four of them ticked, the Filters and Select all buttons at the top, and 4 selected next to the Continue button at the bottom_

Four listings ticked. **Select all** ticks every listing in the account, not just the ones you can
see.

**Select all** asks you to confirm and takes a moment to gather the listings if there are many.
From Wallapop and eBay you get the listings that are for sale, and from Vinted all of them except
the closed ones; on Wallapop and Vinted, **Filters** lets you choose other statuses, such as the
reserved ones.

## 4. Read the summary

Before bringing anything in, RUIT compares each listing with the products you already have and
tells you what will happen to each one. Nothing has been imported yet.

_Screenshot: The summary We've analyzed 4 listings from WooCommerce with four cards: 1 will be updated, 1 will link to an existing product, 0 of 1 reviewed with its Review button, and 1 will create a new product; below them, the note that unreviewed items will be imported as new products, and the Import button_

A summary with all four cases. Only the cards that have some listing in them appear.

- **Will be updated.** You or someone in your organization had already imported that listing. RUIT
  refreshes the product's title, description, photos, condition and shipping, but does not touch
  its price, its stock or its SKU.
- **Will link to an existing product.** The listing has the same EAN, ISBN or SKU as one of your
  products. Instead of creating another one, RUIT links the listing to that product, which keeps
  its title, its photos, its price and its stock. With **Review** you can see which product each
  one goes to.
- **We've found possible matches**, with its count of reviewed ones. The listing looks like one of
  your products, but RUIT is not sure which one. You decide in the next step.
- **Will create a new product.** It does not look like anything in your inventory. On your first
  import, it is normal for everything to end up here.

RUIT only links on its own when an identifier matches: the EAN or the ISBN on any marketplace, and
the SKU on eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop and Todocolección. A similar title is never
enough, so Wallapop and Vinted listings go to review or to a new product.

## 5. Review the matches

If there is a possible-matches card, press its **Review**. RUIT shows you those listings one at a
time: at the top, the listing you are about to import and, below it, up to five products in your
inventory that look like it.

_Screenshot: The Review matches screen: at the top, the listing to import, a watch from WooCommerce at 245.00; below it, an inventory product with the same title, its SKU, its price, the Title match label and 100% match, and the Search for another product and Create new product options; at the bottom, Skip, Confirm all and the line of keyboard shortcuts_

A listing with one candidate. The numbers mark its similarity, **Search for another product...**,
**Create new product** and **Confirm all**.

For each listing, choose an outcome:

- **The product that matches it**, if it is in the list. Each candidate says why it looks similar,
  the same SKU or EAN or a similar title, and by how much (1).
- **Search for another product...** (2), if the right one has not come up: you look for it in your
  inventory and press **Link Now**.
- **Create new product** (3), if it is none of yours. **Skip** does the same.

Once you choose, RUIT moves on to the next listing. When you have finished, press **Confirm all**
(4): you go back to the summary, which now says how many will be imported as you reviewed them.
Nothing has been imported yet.

If you are reviewing a lot of them, the screen works with the keyboard: `←` and `→` move between
listings, `↑` and `↓` go through the options, `Enter` chooses and `S` skips.

## 6. Import

Press **Import**. If you have left possible matches without reviewing them, RUIT reminds you with
**Create new products?**: **Review them** takes you back to the review and **Create as new** imports
them as new products.

The window shows the progress, with the new products, the updates and the errors counting up in
real time. You can close it: the import carries on by itself and, when it finishes, you get a
notification and an email with the result. **Cancel** stops it; whatever has already been brought
in stays.

At the end you will see **Import Successful!** and how many products have been imported. Press
**View in Inventory**.

_Screenshot: The import window at the end: Import Successful!, Successfully imported 1 products, the Products updated card with a 1, and the Home and View in Inventory buttons_

An import of a single listing that was already in the inventory: it has been updated, not
duplicated.

## What you have achieved

Your listings are now products in your RUIT inventory, each one linked to its listing. From now on
RUIT keeps their price and their stock up to date on that marketplace, and you can publish them on
the others.

**Next step:** [publishing your first listing](https://ruit.es/en/docs/your-first-listing/), to take one of these
products to another marketplace.

## If something is off

- **I cannot see the summary or Review matches.** In a narrow window, like a phone's, the import is
  simpler and does not look for matches: it tells you how many listings are left without a product
  and you choose between **Import** for all of them as new products or **Link** for each one by
  hand.
- **"Extension Issue" on Wallapop or Vinted.** RUIT could not read your listings through the
  extension: check that it is connected and try again. If it disconnects halfway, whatever is left
  is not brought in and counts as an error; import again with the browser open.
- **A product has arrived with stock 0 or as new.** Each marketplace hands over what it has. From
  Shopify the condition always arrives as new and, if the listing had no quantity, the stock arrives
  as 0 (from WooCommerce, as 1). From Wallapop and Vinted, the product arrives with one unit and a
  SKU that RUIT generates.
- **The category is missing.** RUIT products have no category: you choose it when you publish, on
  each marketplace.
- **A new listing has ended up on a product I already had.** If its SKU is the SKU of one of your
  products, RUIT links it to that product instead of creating another one, even if you have not
  reviewed it.
- **I chose a product in the review and RUIT has created another one.** When importing, RUIT checks
  each link again and creates a new product if the chosen one is no longer valid: because it is
  archived or it has run out of stock, or because on Wallapop, Vinted or Todocolección it already
  has a live listing on that marketplace. The screen does not warn you.
- **"Download error report" appears.** Download it: it is a CSV with each listing that has not been
  imported and the reason why.
