  2. Click on the Add New Variants Update Task button

  3. Name the task and choose which of your stores (domains) you would like to create the task for

    1. You will be directed to the Mapping page

  4. Click on the + sign and choose the connection type the DataFeed file can be reached from

    1. In some cases, an authentication will be required to access the file - in this case, enter your Username and Password
