How do I customize my Mini-Shop to include the products I want in the order I want them?

To customize your Mini-Shop simply create a CSV file with up to 150 products you want to display.
To create your CSV spreadsheet:
  1. Include 2 columns
  2. The first column should be your Product IDs
  3. The second optional column should be the unique sort priority corresponding to the order in which you wish the product to appear in your Mini-Shop.
  4. Save this file as "sellit.csv"
To upload your "sellit.csv" file to Sellit:
  1. In Control Panel go to "Store Editor"
  2. Click the right arrow next to “Publish”
  3. Click “Files”
  4. Click “Upload”
  5. Enter the path and filename or browse for your "sellit.csv" file
  6. Enter “sellit.csv” for the name you want the file to have on the server
  7. Click “Send”
  8. Make sure to click the "Publish all Staged Files" button.
Once uploaded, Sellit will automatically build your Mini-Shop.

I exported objinfo.xml and my images are still blurry!
  • This is most likely caused because you have not uploaded large product images in your Yahoo! store. The size of your large product images within the Mini-Shop are typically displayed around 400 pixels wide by 400 pixels tall.
  • You can change your images by logging into your Yahoo! Store Manager. Under the "Edit" heading click "Catalog Manager" and then click "Manage your Items." Now you can edit any individual product by adding a larger image.
  • After you have saved new images in your Yahoo! store, return to Sellit.com. Under the "My Account tab," click the blue refresh button to see the new changes.
