Bulk Upload

Introduction​

The Bulk Upload extension enables merchants to update data in bulk using structured CSV files. It supports updates across products, collections, brands, locations, SEO, and path redirection without manual edits. The extension provides pre-defined templates for data uploads, ensures consistency, and allows tracking of import history for troubleshooting. This guide explains the features, available actions, and steps to use the Bulk Upload extension.

Getting Started​

  1. Brands: Use this section to add new brands or update existing ones in bulk. You can upload details like brand name, description, and logo, saving time on manual edits.

  2. Collections: Create handpicked collections or update existing ones. Easily add or remove multiple products in bulk within collections, helping you manage your store layout faster.

  3. Locations: Add multiple selling locations where your inventory is stored and sold. You can also export existing locations, make changes, and re-upload them for quick bulk updates.

  4. Product Details: Update product-level settings in one go. Enable or disable Cash on Delivery (COD), set Gift Wrap availability, and manage Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) with Max and Incremental values.

  5. Path Redirection: Manage URL redirects for your storefront to guide customers from old URLs to new ones. Supports 301 (Permanent) and 302 (Temporary) redirection.

    note

    Once uploaded, redirection cannot be undone.

  6. SEO Management: Improve your store’s search visibility by updating SEO metadata in bulk. This includes product titles, descriptions, alt text for product images, and SEO details for collections, blogs, and storefront sections.

How to Use the Bulk Upload Feature​

  1. Click Download Sample File to get a sample CSV template. This file includes all the required columns for the selected section.

  2. Open the CSV file using Excel or Google Sheets. Enter the required details for each item, ensuring all mandatory fields are completed to avoid upload errors.

  3. Save the file in .CSV format.

  4. Click Browse CSV or drag and drop the file into the upload area. The system will automatically validate the file and process the data.

  5. Click Submit to complete the upload. The system will schedule a job and process the data in the background.

  6. Go to the Import History section to review the status of your uploads. Each entry shows:

    • Total records processed
    • Number of successful updates
    • Errors, if any
note

If errors are found, download the error log, fix the issues in the CSV file, and re-upload.

Bulk uploads are irreversible: Changes made through bulk uploads, especially for Path Redirection, cannot be undone. Review your data carefully before submitting.
