Import & Export Products
Bulk import products from a CSV file or export your product list.
Overview
If you have many products to manage, adding them one by one can be time-consuming. Accoraze lets you import products from a CSV file and export your existing products to CSV for backup or migration.
What You Can Do
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Import | Upload a CSV file to add new products or update existing ones |
| Export | Download all products as a CSV file |
Before You Start
Download the Template
Always use the official CSV template provided by Accoraze. This ensures the column headers match what the system expects.
- Go to Products → Import / Export
- Click Download Template
- Save the CSV file to your device
Required Columns
The import template includes these columns:
| Column | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Product name |
| price | Yes | Selling price (numeric) |
| sku | No | SKU code |
| barcode | No | Barcode value |
| category | No | Category name |
| quantity | No | Initial stock quantity |
| low_stock_threshold | No | Low stock alert level |
| description | No | Product description |
Do not change the column headers. Leave optional columns empty for products that do not need those fields.
Importing Products
- Go to Products → Import
- Click Choose File or drag and drop your completed CSV
- Click Upload
- Review the preview — check for errors or warnings
- Fix any issues shown in the error report
- Click Confirm Import
If a product with the same name or SKU already exists, the import may update it instead of creating a duplicate. Check the preview for details.
Common Import Errors
- Missing required columns — Ensure
nameandpriceare present - Invalid price format — Use numbers only, no currency symbols (e.g.,
19.99not$19.99) - Duplicate SKU — Each SKU should be unique
- Encoding issues — Save the CSV with UTF-8 encoding to avoid special character problems
Exporting Products
- Go to Products → Export
- Optionally filter by category or stock status
- Click Download CSV
The exported file contains all products matching your filter, with all fields populated.
Updating Existing Products
To update existing products via import:
- Export your current product list
- Open the CSV and update the values you want to change
- Re-import the file — products are matched by SKU or name
- Review the preview and confirm
Limitations
- Import works from CSV only. Other file formats are not supported.
- Large imports may take a moment to process. Do not close the browser during import.
- Import is one-directional (CSV to Accoraze). To migrate back to another system, use the export function.
