Import your catalog from a spreadsheet

• A CSV file saved as UTF-8, or an Excel .xlsx file. Older .xls files are not supported.
• Required columns: name and price. Optional: sku, stock, category, description.
• Common header names work too, for example "product name" or "title" for name, "unit price" for price, "qty" or "inventory" for stock.
• Up to 5,000 rows per import. Prices may start with a currency symbol ($, ৳, £, €); a negative price or stock is rejected.

1. 1Step 1: Open Products (the Catalog page) and choose Import Catalog.
2. 2Step 2: Choose your CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file.
3. 3Step 3: Choose Preview. GorZesk reports how many rows are ready and how many need attention, with the reason for each.
4. 4Step 4: Fix any flagged rows in your file if needed and preview again.
5. 5Step 5: Choose Import. Rows whose SKU already exists in your catalog are skipped and listed, so re-importing never overwrites a product.

• Keep one product per row.
• Use one column per field (name, price, sku, category, stock).
• Remove blank rows and merged cells before importing.
• Give every product a SKU: it is how GorZesk recognises a product you already have.

The preview shows the row number and the reason, such as a missing name, a price that is not a number, or the same SKU on two rows of the file. Correct it in the file rather than in GorZesk.
