Shown below is an example of the most commonly used attributes for bulk uploading:

Product Name:  Name of the product.

Product ID:  Unique ID given for the product.

Price:  What you want the price to be.  Note that you do not want to use currency symbols like the $ sign as it will not work.

Unit Weight:  Here you specify the weight of your products.

Is Taxable: Specifies if the item is to be taxed.

Description:  Here you enter your full product description.  HTML is allowed in this field.

Attribute Caption (1-3):  Name of the option that gets displayed on the website.
