Exciting news! Our product CSV import tool has been upgraded with several new features and improvements. These enhancements are designed to make your importing process smoother and more efficient than ever before. Check out these updates and see how they can benefit your workflow.
Image import 🌅
The tool now has a dedicated mode for importing images directly from external URLs. Just upload a file with product ID or SKU and a columns with the image URL and we'll do the rest.
Oh yeah, we also support importing WEBP now!

Stock import 📦
With dedicated stock import, you can quickly and easily update stock on multiple products. All you need is the article number of the product/variant and the stock level.
There are a few caveats to bear in mind, which are explained here.
New way of handling stock
Previously the import tool calculated stock based on available and reserved.
This has now been rewritten to use a new field in the database dedicated to physical stock. The change should not affect the import other than making it go a little faster.
Product slug
First, what is a "product slug"? It's the name at the very back of the URL, after /products/ pointing it to the correct product.
When updating a product it's not recommended to change the slug as it may affect SEO and in worst cases even cause 404.
With the new changes to the import changing the slug is something you'll have to activate manually. Turning the product slug toggle on will use the product name to update the slug, unless you've actively selected a column in your file to be the new slug.

Note, when updating slug redirects has to be setup manually
New category update option
Previously only categories without sub categories could hold products, but with the latest release we've added the option to add products to parent categories which has sub categories.
This however requires a setting to be toggled on my our staff. Contact support if necessary.
