+# Customize Import Strategy
+
+In this document, you’ll learn how to create a custom product import strategy either by overwriting the default strategy or creating your own.
+
+## Overview
+
+Product Import Strategy is essentially a batch job strategy. Medusa provides the necessary mechanisms to overwrite or create your own strategy.
+
+Although this documentation specifically targets import strategies, you can use the same steps to overwrite any batch job strategy in Medusa, including export strategies.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Medusa Components
+
+It's assumed that you already have a Medusa server installed and set up. If not, you can follow our [quickstart guide](../../../quickstart/quick-start.md) to get started.
+
+### Redis
+
+Redis is required for batch jobs to work. Make sure you [install Redis](../../../tutorial/0-set-up-your-development-environment.mdx#redis) and [configure it with your Medusa server](../../../usage/configurations.md#redis).
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+If you use SQLite during your development, it’s highly recommended that you use PostgreSQL when working with batch jobs. Learn how to [install PostgreSQL](../../../tutorial/0-set-up-your-development-environment.mdx#postgresql) and [configure it with your Medusa server](../../../usage/configurations.md#postgresql-configurations).
+
+## Overwrite Batch Job Strategy
+
+The steps required for overwriting a batch job strategy are essentially the same steps required to create a batch job strategy with a minor difference. For that reason, this documentation does not cover the basics of a batch job strategy.
+
+If you’re interested to learn more about batch job strategies and how they work, please check out the [Create Batch Job Strategy documentation](./create.md).
+
+### 1. Create a File
+
+You must store batch job strategies in the `src/strategies` directory of your Medusa server. They are either TypeScript or JavaScript files.
+
+So, for example, you can create the file `src/strategies/import.ts`.
+
+### 2. Create a Class
+
+The batch job strategy class must extend the `AbstractBatchJobStrategy` class which you can import from Medusa’s core repository.
+
+For example, you can define the following class in the file you created:
+
+```typescript
+import { AbstractBatchJobStrategy, BatchJobService } from '@medusajs/medusa'
+import { EntityManager } from 'typeorm'
+
+class MyImportStrategy extends AbstractBatchJobStrategy {
+  protected batchJobService_: BatchJobService
+  protected manager_: EntityManager
+  protected transactionManager_: EntityManager
+
+  processJob(batchJobId: string): Promise<void> {
+    throw new Error('Method not implemented.')
+  }
+  buildTemplate(): Promise<string> {
+    throw new Error('Method not implemented.')
+  }
+}
+
+export default MyImportStrategy
+```
+
+:::note
+
+This is the base implementation of a batch job strategy. You can learn about all the different methods and properties in [this documentation](./create.md#3-define-required-properties).
+
+:::
+
+### 3. Set the batchType Property
+
+Every batch job strategy class must have the static property `batchType` defined. It determines the type of batch job this strategy handles.
+
+Since only one batch job strategy can handle a batch job type, you can overwrite Medusa’s default batch job strategies by using the same `batchType` value in your custom strategy.
+
+So, for example, to overwrite the product import strategy set the `batchType` property in your strategy to `product-import`:
+
+```typescript
+class MyImportStrategy extends AbstractBatchJobStrategy {
+  static batchType = 'product-import'
+  //...
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Define your Custom Functionality
+
+You can now define your custom functionality in your batch job strategy. For example, you can create custom import logic to import products.
+
+Refer to the [Create a Batch Job documentation](./create.md#3-define-required-properties) to understand what properties and methods are required in your batch job strategy and how you can use them to implement your custom functionality.
+
+### 5. Run Build Command
+
+Before you can test out your batch job strategy, you must run the `build` command:
+
+```bash npm2yarn
+npm run build
+```
+
+### 6. Test your Functionality
+
+Since you didn’t create a new batch job type and overwrote the functionality of the strategy, you can test out your functionality using the [same steps used with the default strategy](./create.md#test-your-batch-job-strategy).
+
+Specifically, since you create batch jobs using the [Create Batch Job](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin/#tag/Batch-Job/operation/PostBatchJobs) endpoint which accepts the batch job type as a body parameter, you just need to send the same type you used for this field. In the example of this documentation, the `type` would be `product-import`.
+
+If you overwrote the import functionality, you can follow [these steps to learn how to import products using the Admin APIs](../../admin/import-products.mdx).
+
+## Create Custom Batch Job Strategy
+
+If you don’t want to overwrite Medusa’s batch job strategy, you can create a custom batch job strategy with a different `batchType` value. Then, use that type when you send a request to [Create a Batch Job](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin/#tag/Batch-Job).
+
+For more details on creating custom batch job strategies, please check out the [Create Batch Job Strategy documentation](create.md).
