Import products from CSV

CSV import is the fastest way to add a large catalog when you’re getting started, or to update many products at once.
  1. In the Shopify Admin, open PopUp and go to Products
  2. Select Import CSV
  3. Download the template, fill it in, and upload it

​
Download the template

The template is available directly from the Products page. It includes the correct column headers and example rows.

​
Column reference

Don’t change or delete the SKU column. PopUp automatically generates a unique SKU for every product (e.g. VEG-TOM-001) — it doesn’t appear in the product form, but it’s present in every exported file. When you re-import a CSV, PopUp uses the SKU to find the matching product and apply your updates. If you change or delete a SKU, PopUp won’t recognise the row as an existing product and will create a duplicate instead.

​
Rules

  • Column headers are case-insensitive — SKU, sku, and SKU* all work
  • Lines starting with # are treated as comments and ignored
  • A row is skipped if sku, name, or price is missing
  • type must be exactly weight or item — other values are rejected
  • If a category name doesn’t exist yet, it will be created automatically
  • Existing products are matched by id first, then by SKU as a fallback

​
Example rows

​
Import results

After uploading, PopUp shows a summary:
  • Created — new products added
  • Updated — existing products changed
  • Skipped — rows with errors (listed with row number and reason)

​
Export your catalog

  1. In the Shopify Admin, open PopUp and go to Products
  2. Select Export CSV
  3. The file downloads to your device
The exported file includes all columns from the table above, plus id (readonly). You can edit it and re-import to bulk-update your catalog.
