CSV product import

CSV import is a Growth feature. It creates or updates rental configuration for existing Shopify products; it does not create Shopify catalog listings.

Prepare the file

1. Open Products and its CSV import action.
2. Choose Download template from the import page.
3. Keep the template headers. The required product_handle matches a Shopify product handle, not its title or full URL.
4. Enter one row per product. If a handle is repeated, the first occurrence is used.
5. Export a CSV file with proper quoting for fields containing commas.

Blank cells are ignored when updating settings. Do not use a blank cell to clear an existing value; edit the product directly or use a supported explicit value.

Common fields

Field	Format or purpose
product_handle	Existing Shopify product handle.
pricing_mode	DAILY, TIERED or FIXED.
price_per_day / fixed_price	Plain numeric amount.
total_units	Rentable physical capacity.
stock_mode / variant_inventory_json	Stock mode and valid JSON for variant configuration.
buffer_days_before / buffer_days_after	Preparation time around bookings.
duration_options	Use the current template’s package format.
available_weekdays	Pipe-separated weekdays, such as Mon|Tue|Wed.
pickup_time / return_time	HH:mm.
deposit_type / balance_collection_method	Use the supported values in the template and product settings.
delivery_methods / addons	Use the template’s compound-field format.

The downloaded template is the reference for all supported columns. Do not assume every new app setting is importable simply by adding a similarly named column.

Import and verify

1. Start with a small file containing representative products.
2. Choose Upload CSV and inspect every row result.
3. Correct failed rows in the source file before retrying.
4. Open imported products and compare pricing, dates, units and deposit settings.
5. Test a storefront quote, multiple units and any relevant variant.
6. Expand to larger batches only after the pilot matches your intended settings.

Keep the source file and import results for later review. For simply connecting Shopify products without applying spreadsheet configuration, use Bulk product linking.
