This article is a guide on how to import products from a CSV file using TakeApp. The steps are straightforward and will allow you to efficiently import your product data.
How to bulk product upload using CSV file
Step 1: Navigate to the Admin > Products. You will find the Import button.
Step 2: Download the CSV template.
Important: Always download our sample CSV template by clicking "use our sample CSV template."
Notes: Products without ProductID and VariantID are considered new products
- Products with same handle will be imported as variants of the same product. - Categories from the CSV will be added, not changed. If you input an empty category, the current category won't be removed.
Step 3: After you have finished populating the template, click Import
again. Then click upload products using CSV
. Once the CSV file is selected, you will be able to map which column in the CSV file corresponds to which destination column.
Step 4: After the columns are mapped correctly, click the Continue button. You will then see which rows of the CSV file will be imported. You will be able to verify the names of the products being imported, their descriptions, categories, and variant names.
Step 5: Next, click the Submit button to complete the import process. You will receive a confirmation of successful import. Click Done to finalize the process. At this point, the imported products, for example, "Pasta" and "Apple Pie", will be added to your product list.
Step 6: To verify the import, you can check the details of the imported products. For instance, if you check "Apple Pie", you will see that it has three variants: small, medium, and large. Each variant is identified under the "Apple Pie" product using a specific handle.
Step 7: For products imported without variants, such as "Pasta", you will see that it has no variant and only a single price.
Step 8: Also, when uploading the CVS file, you can include "Product Unit" (e.g., KG, G, L, PCS), "Unit Value," and "Visibility", if needed.
