I created my sales file, how do I upload it into Easy Uploader?
Once you have created your file, you can upload it via Easy Uploader.
Depending on the location of your images (if they are stored locally or if they are URL links), the system differs slightly. Indeed, if your images are stored locally, the system will ask you to upload them.
For each file you create, we advise you to create a folder containing the images of this file. This will allow you to easily download all the images in the same sales file, without having to navigate through your image folders.
If, on the other hand, you use URLs, you can simply add them to your sales file. Adding URLs saves you time as you don't have to upload the images for each of your sales. However, by using URLs, there is a risk that some of your images may not be retrievable. We cover this in our last point

However, if some of your images could not be retrieved (wrong URL), the items linked to them will not be put online. You will be informed via the email we will send you after uploading your file. This will indicate the number of items that could not be processed. A link allowing you to download the file containing all the unprocessed items will also be included in the email and will be available for 7 days. Once the file has been reworked, repeat the above steps.
If you upload a file and do not confirm it, you can continue where you left off for up to 7 days. To do this, go to the "Easy Uploader" page and click on "Continue".
I used URL links for my images, some could not be retrieved, what can I do?
In this case, the items linked to them will not be put online. You will be informed of this via the e-mail we will send you after uploading your file. This will indicate the number of items that could not be processed. A link to download the file containing all the unprocessed items will also be included in the email and will be available for 7 days.
The most common reasons for the failure to retrieve images are:
- the URL is not correct
- there have been too many calls to the server where the images are stored, it no longer responds to our download requests
By means of the file sent by email, we invite you to check the URL's linked to the unprocessed items.
- If the URL does not display the image, it means that it is incorrect, you must correct it before restarting the upload.
- If the URL displays the image correctly, it means that it is correct. You are then in the case where there have been too many calls to the server. As this type of blocking is temporary, we invite you to re-launch an upload of the file containing the sales not listed.
