Important Considerations

Importing wishlist data often requires some manual processing, and there might be an additional cost depending on the volume of data. To get an accurate estimate, please share the approximate number of rows you plan to import. Our AI agent, Fin, cannot provide an estimate but can connect you with an agent. Simply say "talk to an agent" on the chat messenger, and a member of our team will assist you.

Preparing Data for Gift Lists and Registries

To import data into Swym Gift Lists and Registries, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Master File: Prepare a master file (e.g., registries.csv) that lists all registries and their key attributes. This file serves as the primary reference for the import process.

  2. Prepare Detailed Files: For each registry listed in the master file, create a separate file containing detailed data specific to that registry. These detailed files allow the system to associate each registry entry with its corresponding records.

By organizing your data into these two components, you ensure that the import process runs smoothly and that all registry entries are correctly linked to their detailed records.
