Using the Import Products template, you can create products and update product details, including default sell and purchase prices, product groups, and last costs in bulk.

πŸ€“ Tips:

  • Do not remove any columns or cells that are not due to be changed for a product. Blank cells along a product's row in the template will remove any existing data in the product record's matching field upon import.

  • Save numerical-based field columns, e.g. Barcode and Phone Number in Text or Number formats in the CSV to ensure the full value is imported correctly.

The table below describes each field, displayed per column in the template, included in the fixed template, and how it should be used.
