Quick start

This guide walks you through a complete import from start to finish. Allow 10–20 minutes for a first run, depending on file size and how many issues need fixing.

Before you begin

Prepare a CSV or Excel file with a header row. If you are unsure about column names, that is fine — you will map them in a later step.

Supported import types:

• Products — catalog and inventory fields (name, SKU, brand, quantity, price, etc.)
• Stock quantities — on-hand stock updates
• Min-Max quantities — replenishment thresholds

Step 1 — Open Imports

After signing in, go to Imports from the main navigation. This is your dashboard for every file you have uploaded.

Step 2 — Start a new import

1. Choose New import (or equivalent action from the imports page).
2. Select the import type that matches your file.
3. Upload your CSV or XLSX file.

Import Ready reads the file and prepares it for column matching. You will see status updates on the import card as processing completes.

Step 3 — Match columns

1. Open Match columns for your import.
2. For each row, choose which field in Import Ready your file column represents (for example, map Variant SKU → SKU).
3. Resolve any mapping errors shown on the page (duplicate mappings, required fields left empty).
4. Click Continue, review the summary, and confirm.

Validation runs automatically. When it finishes, the import moves to Review data.

Step 4 — Review and fix in Import preview

1. Open Review data to enter the preview grid.
2. Check the Issues badge — it shows how many errors and warnings remain.
3. Click issues to jump to the affected row and column.
4. Edit cells directly or use Actions → Bulk edit column for repeated fixes.
5. Use Actions → Delete lines to remove rows you do not want to import.
6. Use Actions → Add line if something is missing from the file.

When the error count reaches zero and you are happy with the data, proceed to save.

Step 5 — Save your changes

If you edited anything, an Unsaved changes bar appears at the bottom of the screen.

1. Click Save changes and confirm.
2. Wait for validation to refresh with your saved edits.

Note: Import and some export actions require saved changes. Save before leaving if you want your work to persist.

Step 6 — Download or import

Download corrected data

• Click Download CSV and choose Standard CSV or Shopify product CSV depending on your destination.

Import into your workflow

• When all errors are resolved and changes are saved, click Import now.
• Confirm whether to overwrite existing records if prompted.
