Use a template CSV, or download your existing products as a starting point.
You do not need to fill in every column but certain columns are required: product handle, product title, product description, variant title, variant option name, variant option value, and at least one variant price.
The exported CSV uses the same column format as the import template, so you can export, edit in a spreadsheet, and re-import.
Multiple variants of the same product share a Product Handle — one row per variant, with variant fields on each row.
Image URLs in the CSV must be publicly accessible. Use Product Image 1 Url for the thumbnail.
When you upload, your products will have status Draft and No Inventory. Before going live, make sure to set inventory, then change the status to Proposed.
