Go to Products & Inventory > Products > Import > Quick Import.
Select the branch (location) where you want to add product data.

Go to the Products, Quantities, and Prices page.
Hover over the main fields such as Product Name and SKU to see what data is required in each field.
Add the product data.
Review the Input Validation column to make sure the data is correct.
Click the (💾) save icon, then close the file.
Step 3: Upload the Excel File to the Platform

Total products included in the file
