Importing Inventory

Three ways to get vehicles into MP Poster: CSV/Excel files, dealer DMS exports, or direct URL scraping.

Method 1 — CSV / Excel Upload

Most common path. Export your inventory from any system as CSV or Excel, then drag-drop into MP Poster.

1. Click Inventory → Import → Upload File.
2. Drag your CSV/XLSX file into the drop zone.
3. MP Poster auto-detects columns: year, make, model, price, mileage, VIN, etc.
4. Review the preview. Adjust column mapping if needed.
5. Click Import. Vehicles appear in your inventory.

Required Columns

• year or Year
• make
• model
• price (numbers only, no $ signs)

Optional Columns (Auto-Detected)

• mileage, odometer, miles
• color, exterior_color
• vin
• body_type, body (Sedan, SUV, Truck, etc.)
• transmission (Automatic, Manual)
• fuel_type, fuel (Gas, Diesel, Hybrid, Electric)
• description, notes
• images (comma-separated URLs or local paths)

Method 2 — DMS Feed URL

Pro and Agency plans support direct feed pulls. Most DMS systems expose a public inventory URL or CSV feed.

1. Click Inventory → Import → From URL.
2. Paste your feed URL (e.g. https://yourdms.com/feed/dealer123.csv).
3. Click Fetch.
4. MP Poster downloads and parses the feed. Same column detection as file upload.

Method 3 — Manual Entry

Adding a single vehicle? Inventory → + Add Vehicle → fill the form. Photos uploaded via drag-drop.

Managing Inventory

Edit

Click any vehicle row. Edit fields, swap photos, update price. Save.

Status

Each vehicle has a status: available (default), sold, pending. Sold vehicles skipped automatically when posting.

Bulk Delete

Filter by status, select all, click Delete. Or Delete All from settings to wipe inventory clean.

Photos

Each vehicle supports up to 10 photos. Photos are stored locally — they don't get uploaded to Facebook until you actually post. Recommended: 1200×800 pixels minimum, JPEG or PNG.

From CSV

If your CSV has an images column with URLs (one per line, or comma-separated), MP Poster auto-downloads them on import.

Manual Upload

Click a vehicle → Manage Photos → drag-drop image files. Reorder by dragging. First photo = main listing photo on Facebook.
