Bulk Import & Export of Coupons
ClipMyDeals comes pre-integrated with LinkMyDeals.com Coupon Feed to put your website/App on complete Auto-Pilot.
However, you can also use our "Bulk Import Tool" to import coupons and deals into ClipMyDeals with a CSV format.
- Go to WordPress > Coupons > Toolbox > Bulk Import
- Download sample file format to start adding your coupons
- Once your file is ready upload the file in CSV format by clicking on "Import File" button.
- If the file is too big or your server has a short time-out setting, you may want to consider uploading offers in multiple smaller files.
Below is a brief description of each of the fields in CSV template:
- ID:
- For 'new' coupons - keep this field empty
- For 'updating' existing coupons - use the 'post_id' of the coupon. If you have exported the coupons from the 'toolbox', this column will already have 'post_id'.
- title: Title of the offer.
- description: Short description of the offer.
