If you choose the No I need to download a list of my products option to download your product list for editing, you'll be presented with the attribute selection screen.

Once done, click the Build a Product Sheet button, then when displayed, click the Download Product Sheet button to download the CSV file. If you'd like to select other attributes or start over, select the Re-build Product Sheet option.

Once you have edited the required data in the downloaded CSV file, you'll need to upload the product sheet.


Encoding your CSV files with UTF-8 to help prevent errors

You can click the Choose File option and select your file or drag the file into the green box. Then click the Upload button.

Review and Confirm the changes. If you encounter errors when uploading the spreadsheet, refer to this handy guide to resolve them.

Your products and price lists have now been updated.

How to add new variants to a product

If you want to add new variants to a product, add a new row and copy the product ID but leave the variant ID blank.

Now, add 2 columns; Initial Cost Price and Initial Stock Level.

These columns are important because we set your MAC for the new variant based on these columns. If you leave them blank, then the MAC will be set to 0. Having your MAC set to 0 is a problem when you start receiving orders because you will not be able to calculate your profits. There is no associated costs with the variant.
