# Files format

The entire format is represented as an `.zip` archive containing the following `.csv` files.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only zip-archived files are processed properly in case of an import - a simple `.csv` file upload won't work.

Files within the archive must be named accordingly as in the documentation below.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The maximum archive size is 250 MB.

The maximum single file size within the archive is 1000 MB.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Columns are separated using ","(comma) or ";"(semicolon) separator depending on the configuration.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Files have to be UTF-8 formatted.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Cell value needs to be escaped with the " sign if it contains a column separator.\
`"sku1,sku2" - for`comma separator

`"the ; sign is called semicolon"` - for the semicolon
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The files are placed in the zip archive as top-level entities.\
Those should not be placed in a subdirectory within the archive - an often-made mistake for MacOS users - when using the right-click menu on a directory containing files and using the option `Compress "directory"` which does just that.
{% endhint %}

Below you can find an example of import data.
