How to Enable Legacy (Old) Import Feature of CSP

Overview

The CSP (Custom Shipping Plugin) provides an option to enable the legacy import feature for users who prefer the older version of the import process.

This legacy feature allows you to import data using the traditional method instead of the updated approach.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to enable the legacy import feature in the CSP Settings and explain some important considerations, such as compatibility with the Schedule Import feature.

1. Why Enable the Legacy Import Feature?

The Legacy Import Feature can be useful in situations where:

• Compatibility Issues: If you are accustomed to the previous import method, enabling this feature allows you to continue using the old system.
  
• Familiarity with the Old Process: Some users may find the older import process easier to use or more compatible with their workflows, especially if they have pre-existing templates or customizations in place.
  
• Data Import Flexibility: For users who have used the legacy version previously, this option ensures that no data is lost and that the older import mechanism is still available.

3. Important Considerations

Legacy Import vs. Schedule Import: The Schedule Import feature cannot be used at the same time as the Legacy Import feature.

If you enable the legacy import, the scheduled import will not function, and vice versa. Ensure you only have one of these features enabled at a time, depending on your import needs.

Save the settings once this option is enabled.

Once the settings are saved you will be able to access the older import feature simply by visiting the Import tab.

The Schedule import feature cannot be used along with the legacy import feature.

Enabling the Legacy Import Feature in CSP is simple and can be a great option for users who prefer the older import system.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can activate this feature and continue using the traditional import process.

Remember to consider the compatibility with the Schedule Import feature, as both features cannot be used simultaneously.
