Save your spreadsheet as a CSV file first, with column names in the first row.
- Open Import.
- Choose what you're importing: "Customers", "Products", or "Batches (stock)".
- Choose your CSV file. Purity guesses which column is which under "Match your columns"; fix any that are wrong.
- Check the preview. Rows missing a required field are marked; fix them in your file and re-upload if needed.
- Click the import button to bring in the rows.
| Importing | How rows are matched |
|---|---|
| Customers | By email. An existing customer is updated; a new email is added as a new customer. |
| Products | By SKU. An existing SKU gets the new name, price and description; a new SKU is added. |
| Batches (stock) | By product SKU and batch number. The product must already exist. A batch number that's already there is skipped, so stock is never doubled. |
Orders aren't imported from a file. They arrive automatically once your site is connected; see Connect your website.
Up to 10,000 rows and 5 MB per file. Every row added or changed shows up in Activity, same as doing it by hand.
