Macro substitutions for fields can be used, the list of which is in the base catalog grid or price list grid settings.
Internal macro substitutions are also available:
Wholesale price
If you need to upload several values in the Wholesale_price field, then you need to create several additional fields in the base catalog, for example:
then for these fields you can specify wholesale prices manually or automate the process by writing a formula for each field to form a wholesale price, an example of a formula for the "Price wholesale1" field, which sets a 5% discount:
{Товар БК: Цена} - ({Товар БК: Цена} / 100 * 5)

Export data to CSV format
The Industries Portal supports CSV export, but remember that product categories are not exported to this format. To upload data in CSV format, you must select this format in the "Settings" tab.
You can also set the column and row separators you need. The default column separator is the tab character (TAB).
The file encoding is always UTF-8.
The flag "Unload product attributes" allows you to enable/disable the export of product attributes and their values.
FTP setup
You can specify the parameters of access to the FTP server where the upload file should be uploaded 
Schedule setting
This function will give you the opportunity to generate a file according to a schedule. When exporting the prom ua file, a permanent link will be created, which you can specify in your prom ua personal account and update the portal as needed 
How to impose a restriction on uploading data
You can shorten the list of products to be exported to the promua portal, specify the conditions under which products should be unloaded, for example, it can be a certain category of products or the status "In stock", more details. 
How to update the products of the trading platform prom.ua, tiu.ru (XLSX format)
To upload data to the site prom.ua, tiu.ru in XLSX format, you need to create a file in Elbuz, to do this, select the desired template and click the "Upload" button 
Next, download the file or copy the link to it, then open the personal account of the trading platform, go to the menu "Products and services" -> "Import positions", then you need to select the file created in Elbuz 
Next, click the "Start Import" button. After that, the data in the file will be checked, if everything is in order, then the data will be loaded from the file 
Attention! After uploading data to the marketplace website, if new categories or products have been added, it may be necessary to download the product catalog from the marketplace in XLSX format and load it into Elbuz. 
Why is this additional operation needed? When creating categories and products on the site of the trading platform, unique numeric IDs are created, they are necessary for Elbuz to subsequently upload data to the trading platform in order to inform it that these records are already in its database. Category and product IDs can only be obtained by uploading an XLSX file from the marketplace. If this operation is not performed, then the next time the site of the trading platform is updated, duplicate categories and products will be created, because the XLSX file downloaded from the Elbuz will not contain information about the IDs assigned by the trading platform. Here is a link to a comment from a trading platform representative. 
After reading this comment, we can conclude that the "Product_ID" field must be filled in the uploaded XLSX file, so it is always filled when uploading from Elbuz based on the UUID field from the base catalog, in order to identify products uploaded from Elbuz Trade Jumper for re-uploading to the trading platform. If you need to store a Unique_ID in Elbuz, then you need to download an XLSX file from the trading platform and load it into Elbuz. Description of the fields below.
| Item_ID | string up to 255 characters | The identifier is required to uniquely match the product in the import file with the same product on the company's website. May contain characters and numbers. |
| Unique identificator | positive number | A unique product identifier is service information that is used to identify a product or service exclusively on our portal. This identifier is filled in automatically during export and should not be changed manually. The value of the unique identifier is a number that can be found in the link to the product on the portal or on the company's website. |
Forced limitation of the length of uploaded data
The marketplace has a limit on the length of fields, so it may be necessary to force a reduction in the number of characters for fields. You can use a formula for this. For example, for the "Item_code" field, we unload the value from the "Manufacturer's Article" field and limit the length to 25 characters, the formula: SUBSTRING({BC Product: Manufacturer's Article}, 1, 25) 
Uploading values in multiple languages
In the product card, you can specify the name and other fields in Ukrainian .png "How to create a profitable online store on Prom ua")
