This will soon be built into the system as shown here: [https://www.wix.com/code/home/coming-soon](https://www.wix.com/code/home/coming-soon).

In the meantime, you can follow the directions in this article: [Velo Tutorial: Importing and Exporting Collection Data with Code | Help Center | Wix.com](https://support.wix.com/en/article/how-to-import-and-export-collection-data).

Yes, I found the article and am working through it now. I’m getting an arror:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token C in JSON at position 0

while importing.

My first two lines of data look like this:

**Citta;CodProv;Prov;Cod;Cap;CodCat;Cod1**  
**Abano Terme;PD;VEN;49;35031;A001;19726**

The data in your post is CSV. You need to first convert the CSV data to JSON. There are many online tools that will do that for you.
