   • ItemNumber: This refers to the unique number identifying the product
   • ItemName: The name of the item
   • Price: The price of the item
   • Weight: The weight of the item, for shipping purposes. This number is in pounds, and may include a decimal point.
   • Taxable: Whether the item is taxable or not. Enter 1 if the item is taxable and 0 if it is not.
   

   Above is a sample file created for a Database Upload.
