Shopify Template Tool: Convert Supplier Data to Shopify Product Imports

Transform messy supplier catalogs and client data into clean, Shopify-ready product import templates. Map fields, clean data, and format for seamless bulk uploads to your Shopify store.

What the Shopify Template Tool Can Do

Convert supplier catalogs, client spreadsheets, and product data into properly formatted Shopify CSV templates. Handle complex product data with variants, images, and Shopify-specific requirements.

Field Mapping

Automatically map supplier fields to Shopify columns like Handle, Title, Body, Vendor, Product Type, and Tags.

Variant Handling

Process product variants with sizes, colors, and options. Generate proper Shopify variant rows with SKUs and pricing.

Image Processing

Handle product images, format image URLs properly, and create image rows in the Shopify import template.

Data Validation

Validate data against Shopify requirements, fix formatting issues, and ensure all required fields are present.

Understanding Shopify Product Import Format

Shopify uses a specific CSV format for bulk product imports. Each product can have multiple rows for variants, images, and other data. The tool understands these requirements and formats your data accordingly.

Key Shopify Fields:

Product Fields:
  • • Handle (unique identifier)
  • • Title (product name)
  • • Body (HTML) (description)
  • • Vendor (brand)
  • • Product Type (category)
  • • Tags (comma-separated)
Variant Fields:
  • • Variant SKU
  • • Variant Price
  • • Variant Compare At Price
  • • Variant Inventory Quantity
  • • Option1 Name/Value (Size, Color, etc.)

The tool automatically handles the complex structure where one product might span multiple rows in the CSV - one for the main product info and additional rows for each variant, image, and SEO data.
