Example use case – seasonal product launch

A fashion store launches its Spring Collection with 250 new items.

  • Supplier provides a CSV with SKU, name, price, description, size, and color.

  • Store uploads the file to Elovate, maps the headers, enables Create New Products on Missing SKUs, and assigns them to the "Spring 2025" website.

  • After validation, the products are imported in minutes and appear in Magento, ready for sale.
