CSV Import

Import your product catalog using CSV templates for easy bulk uploads.

Overview​

The CSV import method allows you to upload your product catalog using CSV files. This is ideal for:

  • Initial bulk product imports
  • Product catalog updates
  • Offline catalog management
  • Migration from other systems

Getting Started​

  1. Download Template

    • Get the CSV template from your FashionAI dashboard by clicking Settings > Products Manager
    • Review the required fields and format in "Spreadsheet Fields"
    • If your company's CSV format indicates that the image_1 field is not required, learn how to upload images in Image Upload
  2. Prepare Your Data

    • Fill in product information
    • Include required fields
    • Add optional attributes for better recommendations
  3. Upload File

    • Log in to your dashboard
    • Navigate to Settings > Products Manager
    • Upload your CSV file
  4. Validate Import

    • Review import summary
    • Import result can be total error (error appears detailed in imports list), partial (with list of non-imported products and why) or total success (all products were imported)
    • Fix any errors
    • Re-import the CSV file, products that were already successful will only be updated, not duplicated

Required Fields​

Find the required fields for your company in Settings > Products Manager > Spreadsheet Fields

Best Practices​

  1. Use Consistent IDs - Keep product IDs consistent across updates
  2. High-Quality Images - Use clear product images with good resolution
  3. Complete Descriptions - Provide detailed product descriptions
  4. Accurate Categories - Use consistent category naming
  5. Regular Updates - Keep your catalog up to date

Troubleshooting​

Common issues and solutions:

  • Import Errors - Check required fields are filled
  • Duplicate IDs - Ensure each product has a unique ID
  • Image Issues - Verify image URLs are accessible
