Instead of adding partners manually, one at a time, an admin user can add many partners in bulk through Import Partner feature. To do this, a user needs to use a CSV (comma separated values) file that contains the partners' data.
You can add multiple partners in one go using a CSV file. You can download the sample CSV file by following the link on the Import Partners window.
To go to the Import Partners window, click Partners > Partners > Import Partner and follow the link "Click here to download sample file...". Once you download the file, you can update the values for the columns therein based on your requirements.
The fields' value details (in the CSV file) as shown in the example below is only for one partner. Similarly, you can add multiple partners in the CSV file.
