A price list is spreadsheet with a list of prices of products or services, usually received from supplier, manufacturer or provider. In most cases it is used to let the merchants know about the price change and signals about the necessity to update goods in catalog to keep up with market competition.
Price lists the most oftentimes are used in the spheres where items’ prices are changing regularly: now sky-rocketing and later dramatically going down or vice versa. For instance, price changes are especially critical for travel agencies selling tours online or other stores with goods with highly variable pricing.
If you ever needed to manipulate with product information in Magento 2 (Magento Open Source 2, Adobe Commerce) on a large scale, you already know that it is pretty much long and tedious process.

The application supports CSV, XML, XLS, XLSX, TXT and ODS formats, since providers can provide you any.

Again, here is what you need to do:
