How to import products

Importing products from Webflow or other platforms is super easy with CartGenie.

Exporting Products From Webflow

In your Webflow site, navigate to the CMS tab and then Products

In the top right corner, find the “Export” button and click it. This will download a CSV of your products.

Importing Products to CartGenie

Go to the Products tab in CartGenie

Click the “Import” button in the top right of the page and upload the CSV from Webflow.

You should now see all your products loaded into CartGenie!

Note: If you are not using Webflow Ecommerce, be sure that your products import file has all the necessary column names listed below.

Product Import Fields

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.

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:

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 Handle

   2. Product Name

   3. Product Description

   4. Product Categories

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)
