Importing products from a CSV file

You can download an example CSV file from here

• The first row in the CSV is reserved for the header columns. These must be in the correct order and spelt correctly. See below for the order and explanation of each.
• The file must be saved in csv format (.csv).
• The main product 'Handle' (which contains all of the product information, title, long description etc) must appear in the CSV before any of it's variation rows. See example CSV.
• For each group of product 'Handle', the import will update product if handle exists already or create new if handle has not been imported previously.
• SKU's must be unique. So creating a new product with an existing SKU, the import will throw an error.
• The image must have a valid URL.
• 'Tags', 'Option Names' and 'Option Values' must be separated by semi colons.
• 'Visible', 'Stock Track' and 'Stock Unlimited' have to be set to 'yes' or 'no'.
• 'Option Values' and 'Option Names' must have the same amount of entries.
