How to import your product information?


1. Open the xlsx file and fill in the cells with your product information under the corresponding colu1. mn (if applicable):


Note:

  • Please do NOT delete or change the columns on the file
  • The columns “URL” and “Product ID” will be automatically generated after the product has been uploaded to your store via this method, therefore you do not have to fill it up yourself.
  • To add a product with many combinations (e.g. colour + size), please create each combination as a product option, eg:
    • Product Option 1: Blue + Small
    • Product Option 2: Blue + Large
    • Product Option 3: Red + Small
  • You can upload multiple image and video URLs for the overall main product, but only one URL for each product option (which will be the featured image when you click that certain product option).
  • Only YouTube video URLs are able to be registered in our system
  • If you uploaded product photos to other platforms, please copy and paste image URLs to the file. You can use Dropbox or Google Photos. We do NOT recommend Facebook photos
  • The product category must already exist in your store before you designate it in the file

For further instructions on how you should format the product information under each column, you may click on “Learn How to use” at the bottom of the “Import / Update Excel” page. 

A pop-up will then appear informing you how to input your product information
