Import Products

You can use the Product Import API to:

• Add new products, including:

  • main image files. See Importing Main Image Files.
  • custom data. See Importing custom data.
  • Make bulk updates to existing products.

You cannot use product import to:

• Delete existing products.
• Import product bundles.

The Product Import API uses a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file to import products, main image files and custom extension data. Each row in a .csv file represents a product you want to create/update. See an example file.

Each file can have 50,000 rows, including the header. If a CSV file exceeds 50,000 rows, an error is displayed, and the products are not imported. A CSV file must not be larger than 50 megabytes. If a CSV file is larger than 50 megabytes, a 503 client read error is displayed.

If you want to create/update more than 50,000 products or your CSV file is larger than 50 megabytes, you must have a separate CSV file and import each CSV file one at a time.

See Characteristics of CSV Files.
