Importing your own test products

To import your own product data, use Shopify's example template: product_template.csv. A few notes on the format:

  • each product has a unique handle and is on its own row
  • each further variant is on the next row, starting with the product's unique handle
  • each additional image is on the next row
  • set column Q (Inventory tracker) to 'Shopify' and add a dummy quantity in column R (Variant Inventory Qty)
  • for the demo, ignore the Google Shopping categories: they break the import unless they follow the correct syntax
  • add a final column called 'Collection' with the collection or product group name you want in the Cloudshelf demo
