The image should be placed in folder pub/media/limesharp_stockists/stockist/image/t/e/ (last 2 letters changed of course);
• if you want a stockist to be in multiple stores you can pass the ids of stores comma separated inside the store_id field;
• To make sure your csv file is formatted correctly, you can open it in a text editor. It should look like this (comma separated and quoted values):
