Updating A Few Products

You can erase all columns other than the ones you are using and SKU. All items will need to have a value for the columns you are using. If you are updating 10 products, 6 with inventory amount and 4 with prices, you will need to break them into two separate CSVs or leave the original information in for those not having a change.

You can also use this method to add new products as long as they have the required information as below.

Required Product Attributes for New Products:

• sku
• _attribute_set
• _type
• name
• description
• short_description
• price
• status
• visibility
• tax_class_id

Once your updated and new products are prepared in the .CSV file, you are ready to upload.

The file that you upload must be in Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format. If you use a Mac, save the CSV as CSV (Windows) file type. Most spreadsheet and database applications can create CSV files. CSV files must have specific characteristics in order to be imported. The total size of upload-able files cannot exceed 110M.

Currently you can not use this method to mass upload or update with images.
