Creating or importing products

If you have access to Dashboard, you can access the catalog. Log into your Dashboard and hit the Catalog button on the left menu bar to get started.

Upload your products directly in Dashboard one by one or through bulk import. If you have a large catalog and prefer to import programmatically, you can use the Catalog API (documentation coming soon).

Create a product 

1. Go to Catalog and click on Add product in the top right-hand corner.
2. Add your product details. The only field required to create a product is the SKU and/or product ID field(s). These fields will be used to reference your catalog products. Learn more about Catalog’s identifiers.
3. Optional— Add your classification details.
4. Optional— Add your shipping information (weight, dimensions, units of measure, etc.).
5. Optional— Add restricted countries.
6. Click Save product.

Importing products 

1. Download the Catalog CSV template here.
2. Map the product details in your system to the CSV template above. Learn more about the product detail fields.
3. Save the file as a CSV.
4. Upload your new CSV file to Catalog here by dragging and dropping your file or by clicking browse to find and select your file.
5. Follow the prompts to review your uploaded items and correct fields if there are any errors.
6. Click Save.

If you upload duplicates of the same unique identifier combos in the same CSV, Catalog will create a product for the first one and ignore any duplicates that follow.
