Preparation

Before importing:

1. Export orders from TCGPlayer Seller Portal
2. Save the CSV file to your computer
3. Don't modify the file structure or column headers
4. Ensure your SortSwift inventory is up to date

Uploading the File

Upload your TCGPlayer order file:

1. Navigate to TCGPlayer Import
2. Click "Import Orders" or "Upload File"
3. Select your TCGPlayer CSV file
4. Click "Upload"
5. System validates file format
6. File parsing begins automatically

File Validation

System validates your file:

• Format Check: Verifies file is valid CSV
• Column Headers: Checks required columns are present
• Data Validation: Validates order data
• Error Reporting: Reports any file issues

Preview Import

Review items before importing:

• Order Summary: Total orders and items
• Item List: All items to be imported
• Matching Status: Which items matched to inventory
• Unmatched Items: Items that couldn't be matched
• Total Value: Combined value of all orders

Import Settings

Configure how orders are imported:

• Import Mode: Deduct from inventory, track sales only, or add items
• Date Range: Filter by order date
• Auto-Match: Automatically match items to inventory
• Create Missing: Option to create inventory items if not found
• Skip Duplicates: Avoid importing same orders twice

Confirming Import

Finalize the import:

1. Review preview of all items
2. Verify settings are correct
3. Check matching status
4. Click "Confirm Import"
5. System processes all orders
6. Progress bar shows completion
7. Import summary appears

After Import

What happens after import completes:

• Inventory Updates: Quantities decrease based on sales
• Sales Records: Sales are logged in history
• Platform Sync: Updated quantities sync to other platforms
• Import Log: Import details saved to history
• Error Report: Any failed items are reported

Handling Errors

If items fail to import:

• Review Error Messages: Check why items failed
• Fix Issues: Correct data or inventory problems
• Retry Failed: Retry just the failed items
• Manual Entry: Manually add if automatic matching fails

Best Practices

• Regular Imports: Import orders weekly or monthly
• Backup First: Export inventory before large imports
• Verify Matches: Review matching before confirming
• Track Unmatched: Keep list of items that don't match
• Reconcile Regularly: Compare SortSwift to TCGPlayer inventory
