Understanding the CSV File Structure:
Handles
Handles are unique names for each product and cannot contain spaces. You can use handles to update existing products or add product variants. While handles are not required, if you don't provide one, the system will automatically generate one based on your product name. If you need to find the handle to update existing products, you can export your current products to retrieve it.
Products with Variants
For products with variants, the CSV file structure is:
- The first row with the same product handle represents the main product.
- Variant names should be placed on the main product row under designated columns such as "Variant1 Name," "Variant2 Name," and so forth.
- The subsequent rows pertain to the product variants, and each row should include the corresponding variant values under columns "Variant1 Value," "Variant2 Value," and so on.
Main Product Vs Product Variants
The columns "Name," "SKU," "Description," "Publish," "Manage Inventory," and "Category" are specific to the core product and should be left blank in the CSV file for variant rows. These columns do not apply to variant entries.
