items.csvDry runCheck before you import
A dry run shows every row before anything is written, and your current store stays open until you switch.
What moves
Your item export, mapped to products
These are the columns the importer reads, and where each one lands. A column with no place in Tanqory stays on this list with the reason, so nothing goes missing quietly.
10 columns land in a Tanqory field
2 not imported, with the reason on the map
Customers, stock levels and redirects move by CSV too
