Managed File Imports

Managed File Imports allow you to submit bulk data for Quote Requests or Booking Sessions directly through your dashboard. Instead of exchanging files over email, you can upload your data and track your request status in real time.

Managed File Imports is specifically designed for clients without an API integration or Shopify store that quote entire sales or auctions at once.

Imports are typically completed within 48 hours, but complex imports may take longer. You can set a target completion date when submitting your request, and we’ll do our best to meet your timeline.

Request access to Managed File Imports from your Arta Customer Success Manager. This feature is not available with all subscriptions.
