To successfully import new or existing products using the import template or an edited export file, certain guidelines must be followed.
Note: It is recommended to download the file as a CSV file and edit it using Google Sheets.
Important guidelines for editing:
- Fill in required fields: Make sure to complete all mandatory fields correctly. For new products, the product ID is crucial as it determines whether the product is a simple product or a product with variants. Certain details must be identical for all variants of a product.
- Changes to existing products: If you are making changes to existing products, you must not change the product ID or variant ID. These IDs are necessary to assign the changes to the correct products in the system. For new products, create a new row for each product.
An overview of the most important columns, their meanings, and the input rules can be found in the PDF file, which you can download here.
