How to add products in bulk?

If you have hundreds of products, adding them manually can be tedious. That’s why bulk add is here to the rescue. Now you can add details of multiple products, set prices, and upload them in one go.

Note: The bulk add feature is only available on desktops and laptops.

To bulk add products, go to Products and click on the Bulk add products button on the top right. You’ll see the below screen. In order to do a bulk add, first, you need to download the excel template. Click on the sample XLSX template to download the template.

Open the template once it’s downloaded. You’ll see different columns for which you have to fill in the details. Let’s understand what these columns mean.

• Variant title: In this column, you can specify the variants of your product.

  • (Note: The name of the variant and the product need to be the same)

• Head Category: Enter the category to which your product belongs.
  For example: If you are selling an Iron man round neck T-shirt, it will belong to Head Category: Tshirts.

  • Note: If your product belongs to multiple categories, you’ll need to add comma separate values. For example: If the product is a Long Sleeve Round Neck Tshirt it can belong to 2 categories i.e round neck t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts

• Sub Category: Enter the sub-category of the product. If your product does not have any subcategories you can leave the field empty. For example: If you’re selling an Iron man round neck T-shirt, it will belong to Head Category: Tshirts, and sub-category: Round Neck Tshirt.

• Product Unit: Choose the appropriate unit for the product from the drop-down menu.

• Product Description: In this section, add details and information about the product. You can enter them as both text or as an HTML snippet.

• Variant1: In this category, you can specify the 1st variant of the product.
