    · Different field types will be validated:
            · Date fields need to have a valid date
            · Price fields need to have a valid amount with a maximum of 4 decimals
            · GTIN (EAN) product codes, if used, need to be valid
            · SKU’s, Manufacturer part numbers and GTIN’s needs to be unique in your file, so may only exist once

Product data file requirements:

The maximum amount of products in the file may not exceed 20.000 items.

We apply a maximum file size. Please make sure your file size does not exceed the 2.5 MB.

We only support the file formats Excel (.xlsx) and CSV (.csv)


Pre check for your own product data file

If you are having doubts about the correctness of your own product data file and the ability of your IT-system to deliver the right data, you can choose to do a pre check.

With this pre check our customer care will check your file and deliver you a report with the outcome and advice on how to solve any emerged mismatches. Based on this report you will be able to assess whether you meet the criteria to setup this connection.

For this pre check advice, you will be charged € 280,00. Please contact customer care at support@onetrail.com for inquiries. 





Step 2: Test your file

When we receive your product data file, we will test and check it in various ways to guarantee that your data is entered correctly into our system.

We will contact you when we discover errors or missing data in your file.

When your file passed the test, we proceed to step 3. 



Step 3: Share your file

Now that your product data file is approved, we need to automate the daily processing of your file. 

We will provide you by email our Onetrail Server Location details. An daily updated version of your product data file must be provided on this server location. Onetrail will schedule a daily automated pick up of your product data file on this location. 

When this daily data sharing works, we will give Dustin a heads up. 



Step 4: Activate your connection 

After our heads up, Dustin will check that they are correctly receiving your product data via Onetrail into their IT-systems.

When this is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation from us by email that your Product Manager + sFTP connection for Dustin is officially up and running!

Dustin will let you know when your old product data sharing connection can be discontinued. 



Step 5: Update, monitor and maintain your connection


Provide a daily update

Dustin demands up to date product data from all suppliers. To comply with this, you need to provide a daily update of your product data file to our server location.


Upload Report

Onetrail monitors your product data flow and will let you know with an Upload Report when any irregularities occur.

This alert is sent by email to your technical contact person.
