Importing Products (in bulk)

Using the Import feature, you can add or update multiple products at the same time. When importing products, you can specify the data in simple CSV format. StoreHippo uses the data from your CSV file and turns it into products in your store.
To import products through your StoreHippo you need to follow these steps:

Go to Products > Products section in StoreHippo Admin Panel. Click on the ellipses in the top right corner. On choosing the 'import' option, the followingdialogbox appears:

File

Click on Choose file and upload your product CSV file.

For a sample CSV, you can download and view our products CSV template. You can also export the products to get your existing products in a CSV file.

Advanced Options

For advanced import option or customization in import, click on Advanced Options. The following option appears:

The options are detailed below:

Update products/variants by SKU

This option is used if products are updated using SKU for products/variants. By default, products are updated using the _id field.

Do not create new categories

If we check this field, then new categories do not get created even if there are new categories listed in the file.

Do not associate parent category in products automatically

In product import, by default parent category gets associated with products even when only child category is given. However, if we check this field, then the parent category will not be associated.

Click on the Import button to initiate the import process.

Checking Status

You can check the status of the ongoing process when the import process is initiated. Click on the notification (bell) icon on the top right side of your admin panel to view the status of import.
