Check your exported CSV file

Once your exported CSV file has been downloaded to your computer, you’ll need to open it to check a few things. You can do this in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or any other program you might want to use.

Two fields in this file need special attention: FBT Products and After Add to Cart Popup Products. If you edit a product and click on the Sales Booster tab, you will note that the fields Products in Frequently Bought Together and After Add to Cart Popup can hold more than one value (multiple products).

In the CSV file, if these fields have more than one product selected, the values should be separated by a | . If not, you’ll need to update it to make sure it looks like the example below.
