Import and Export Price Books in B2C Commerce

Import a price book as either an editable or a read-only price book. A read-only price book takes less time to import but you can't edit it in Business Manager. The default is editable.

A read-only price book ID can appear in only one pricebook element in the XML file. When you import prices into a read-only price book and the same price book ID appears in multiple pricebook elements, only the price entries in the last matching pricebook element are imported. This behavior applies to the merge, replace, and update import modes.

  1. Importing a read-only price book requires enabling the global preference. You can change the preference later to import an editable price book. To use read-only price books, contact your Salesforce admin to enable the High Scale Price Books feature.
    1. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Administration | Global Preferences | Import & Export.
    2. Select Import All Price Books as Read-Only.
  2. To import a price book
    1. Click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Merchant Tools | Site | Products and Catalogs | Import & Export.
    2. In the price books section, click Import.
    3. Select one or more price books and click Next.
    4. Click Import.
    5. When the validation finishes, click Next.
    6. Select the import mode.

      If you're replacing an editable price book with an optimized price book, select REPLACE. In general, when importing an optimized price book, we recommend using REPLACE for the fastest import times and fewest import failures.
