How to access on Fynd Commerce
  1. Commerce Panel
  2. Products
  3. My products
  4. Bulk Action
  5. Import

You can assign multiple identifiers to products—such as EAN, SKU, or UPC—using the bulk import feature in the Commerce Panel. This helps merchants manage inventory more accurately across different systems.

Before you start​

Ensure you have:

  • A unique identifier value for each product (for example, EAN, UPC, or SKU).
  • A public link to your product identifiers file in Excel or CSV format, structured using Fynd's import template.

Step 1: Access the bulk import tool​

  1. Sign in to the Commerce Panel.
  2. Navigate to Products > My products.
  3. Select Bulk action > Import.
  4. Under Bulk import, select Product.

Step 2: Download the product import template​

  1. On the import screen, select the following:

    • Product type (Standard, Set, Composite, or Digital)
    • Department
    • Template (based on the selected department and category)

  2. Select Download template, and choose either Excel or CSV format.

Step 3: Add product details in the template​

Open the template file and fill in the product information. Mandatory columns are highlighted in green.

For each product, enter the following in the appropriate columns:

  • name: Enter the product name.
  • item_code: Enter the unique item code for the product.
  • brand: Select the associated brand.
  • category: Choose the relevant product category.
  • description: Provide a detailed product description.
  • short_description: Enter a short summary of the product.
  • Fill in other product specifications as required.

Step 4: Add product identifiers​

To add product identifiers:

  1. Locate the following columns in the template:

    • GSTIN type: This is a dropdown menu. Choose the appropriate identifier type, such as:

      • SKU (Stock Keeping Unit)
      • EAN (European Article Number)
      • UPC (Universal Product Code)

    • GSTIN value: Enter the actual identifier value corresponding to the type selected.

  2. For products with multiple identifiers:

    • Use separate rows for each identifier.

    • In each row, repeat the values for:

      • item_code
      • brand

  3. In the Seller identifier column:

    • Enter the identifier you use to track inventory (for example, EAN).
    • This value should correspond with one of the identifiers listed for the product.

  4. In the size column:

    • Enter R to denote a regular size.
    • Repeat this value in all rows containing different identifiers for the same product.
note

Only the item_code, brand, GSTIN type, GSTIN value, Seller identifier, and size columns need to be repeated for each identifier row. Do not duplicate other product data across these rows.

Step 5: Save and upload the import file​

  1. After entering all identifier data and mandatory product fields, save the file.

  2. Return to the Import screen in the Commerce Panel.

  3. Upload the file.

  4. On the preview screen, review the data:

    • Total number of products
    • Any rows with missing or invalid information

  5. To correct any errors:

    • Download the file, make the changes offline, and upload it again.

  6. Once validated, select Upload to start the import process.

Step 6: Review import status​

  1. Go to Upload history to track the file status:

    • Status: Pending, Completed, Failed, or Cancelled
    • Number of processed records
    • Count of successful and failed entries
    • Template name
    • Upload start time
    • Uploaded by (user information)

  2. Select the file name to view detailed logs.

  3. Select Refresh to update the file status if it still shows in progress.

Step 7: Verify product identifiers​

Once the upload is marked as Successful, go to My products and:

  • Search for the product using its name or item code.
  • Open the product details to view the linked identifiers.
