Product Import Template

If you’ve exported your products from Webflow, the CSV should have everything formatted correctly to immediately import into CartGenie.

If you’re exporting from another platform, then you will need to format your document before importing.

Importing Categories

CartGenie will automatically create categories and add the relevant products to each since the categories should be included in your product export file from Webflow Ecommerce.

info icon
Note: Categories in WF Ecom’s export file are separated by semicolons (;). If any of your categories have a semicolon in their name (ex: “My; Category”), this will cause these to be recognized as separate categories in CartGenie (ex: “My” & “Category”). Be sure to remove any semicolons from category names before exporting your products from Webflow Ecommerce

If you want to import a separate additional list of categories, you can do that here:

How to import categories

Upload a CSV to add product categories

Importing Variants

If you want to import several variants of a product, you can either import the original parent product and then add the variants in CartGenie’s product editor (easiest option), or you can do it with a little formatting in your doc.

  1. Ensure all variants of a product have the same values in these fields:

    1. Product Slug

    2. Product Name

  2. Set the individual values of each variant for the remaining fields as needed

    1. Be sure Option 1 Name (same with Option 2 and 3 if needed) is the same for all variants of the same item

    2. Set the value of Option 1 Value for each variant (same with Option 2 and 3 if needed)
