Do not import duplicate files

    I need to import data that I have in 2 files.
    First I import the 10 lines of “file 1” and then I go to Settings and load “file 2” which has 100 lines.
    As Unique Identifier I set the id which is different for each row.
    File 2 has 10 lines which are also present in file 1.
    When I import file 2, the lines (with the id) that were imported with file 1 should not be imported.
    To do this in Settings just uncheck “Update existing listings with changed data in your file” or do I have to do something else?
    Thanks

    Hi @ricsca2,

    If you’re not importing variable products, you can use an “Existing Items” import and disable the update option in the import settings: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/update-existing-posts/.

    If you’re using 2 “New Items” imports, you can either set up an XPath filter to remove the duplicate records, or use custom code and our API to prevent duplicates (here’s an example).
