CSV Product Uploads

ShippingEasy supports updating your PRODUCT catalog via CSV file. This guide outlines which fields can be updated with a CSV file upload. For more help getting started:

Required Fields

Fields marked with * are required.

ShippingEasy Column

Alias SKUs

A SKU that maps to another product. Learn how to set up SKU Aliases. When specifying multiple Alias SKUs, use the following format:

  • SKU | SKU

We can replace, not remove, an Alias SKU. We will update you if you upload another alias for the same product. If the field is blank, we take no action on that item.

IMPORTANT: include all Alias SKUs listed for your products as these values are set per upload.

Bundled SKUs

For bundles with a single SKU, use the following format:

When specifying a bundle with multiple SKUs, use this format:

  • SKU: Qty | SKU: Qty

  • Ex: SE123: 1 | SE345: 1

NOTE: Unit Cost is the per-unit cost of a product for a specified supplier. This may be referenced from Product and Supplier details.

When there is no value to specify for the Supplier SKU or Unit Cost, omit that value, but do not omit any colons (:).

  • Ex: ACME: : 9.99

When specifying multiple suppliers, use the following format:

  • Supplier Name: Supplier SKU: Unit Cost | Supplier Name: Supplier SKU: Unit Cost

Video: Uploading Products (SKUs) via CSV file

ShippingEasy's Product CATALOG provides a centralized hub to store all your product information. This information is then used to update your orders automatically, matching the product SKU to override data synced from your store.

Products in New Orders

If your store platforms include Amazon, Bigcommerce, eBay, Magento, Volusion, or Shopify, product catalog entries are automatically created for items included in new orders. However, there may be advantages to uploading your entire catalog proactively.

Product listings can be added individually or all at once via CSV file (in bulk). The video below will show you exactly how to upload products via CSV file.
