<h4>CSV Format</h4>
Your CSV must contain at least one lookup column: ID, SKU, or Slug. All other columns are optional.
Accepted column names (and aliases):
 Canonical key 
 Accepted aliases
 <code>id</code> 
 <code>product_id</code>

Column names are case-insensitive and accent-insensitive. Spaces and hyphens are treated as underscores.
Supported delimiters: <code>;</code> (semicolon), <code>,</code> (comma), <code>\t</code> (tab), <code>|</code> (pipe). Use Auto (recommended) to let the plugin detect automatically.
A downloadable CSV template with a sample row is available directly from the plugin interface.
