To create an upload template in Yandex Market (YML) format, open the "Upload product catalog" window by clicking on the shortcut on the desktop

or by selecting the menu item

then click "+" and select format "Yandex Market (YML)"


After creating the upload template, you can switch to editing mode, to do this, click on the "Pencil" button


You can choose what data you want to upload to the YML file

• Photo - links to product photos (picture tag)
• Attributes - attributes and values (param tag)
• Options - allows you to upload option products (feature under development).

XML Upload Template

An upload template allows you to customize your data upload settings. Specify the tags you need, tag values, specify the address of your site, the name of your online store and other information. The XML template is divided into blocks:

• File header
  Provides general information about your store.
• Categories
  Required to create a list of categories in categories tags
• Tags after the category block (categories)
  Serves for inserting a tag block after the categories block, for example, for inserting delivery conditions for products (delivery-options)
• Products
  Required to create a list of products in offers tags

To select a base directory field, press Ctrl + Space

You can also use the field ID, which can be taken from the base catalog grid settings


For the "Categories" block, it is also possible to specify macro substitutions, for example:

{Category: Category ID (number)}
{Category: parent category ID (number)}
{Category: Category ID (UUID string)}
{Category: Parent category ID (UUID string)}
{Category: Category ID on third party site}
{Category: Category name}
{Category: Brief description}
{Category: Full description}
{Category: Meta Title Tag}
{Category: Description meta tag}
{Category: Meta Tag Keywords}
{Category: HTML H1 tag}
{Category: SEO Link (CNC)}
{Category: Category URL on a third-party site}
{Category: Shipping cost}
{Category: Group_number} (data is loaded from prom, tiu, deal, evo portals from XLSX format)
{Category: Parent_number} (data is loaded from prom, tiu, deal, evo portals from XLSX format)

Yandex Market accepts several types of product descriptions:

• Simplified type (offer)
• Arbitrary type (offer)

The difference between a simplified and an arbitrary type
Simplified and custom types are suitable for most products. Both types provide equal opportunities and provide the same quality of linking to model cards and publishing on the Market.
In the simplified type, the manufacturer, type, and product name are specified in one element. In a custom type, this data must be specified in separate elements, that is, in your database, in addition to the name of the product, a separate field "Model" must be filled in so that you can use a custom type.
By default, the XML template in Elbuz is set to "Simplified Type", which does not contain a Model field, thus making it easier for you to prepare data for the YML format.

Formulas and macro substitutions

You can use formulas in the product block template. To do this, you must specify a formula enclosed in square brackets [[формула]] .

To upload a full description, add the description tag and the value ![CDATA[{BC item: Full description}]] to the template

To upload a brief description, add the tag ![CDATA[{BC product: Brief description}]] to the template

To upload a short description as a product attribute, add the param tag and the {description_short} value to the template

• {portal_id} - category ID on a third-party site (marketplace, portal)

How to upload numeric category and product IDs instead of symbolic ones
By default, symbolic identifiers are uploaded to the XML file, only numeric identifiers can be used, for this it is necessary to replace the macro settings of symbolic identifiers with their numeric counterparts.

For the "Categories" block:
{uuid} -> {category_id}
{uuid_parent} -> {parent_id}


For the "Products" block:
{uuid} -> {product_id}
{category_uuid} -> {category_id}
