The problem it solves

Adding products to your online store one at a time is slow and easy to mess up, especially when you are loading dozens of items for a new line or a test store. You end up copying details back and forth between a spreadsheet and your store admin. This lets you list everything in a sheet once and skip the manual entry.

Who it fits

Online store owners or merchandisers who need to add many products to Shopify at once.

How it works

  1. You start the process once you have finished filling in a spreadsheet of products
  2. It reads each row, including title, price, SKU, and stock count
  3. It skips any product that already exists in your store so nothing gets duplicated
  4. New products are created in Shopify with inventory tracking and stock levels already set
What you get

Whole product catalogs live in one pass

List your new products in a spreadsheet and they appear in your Shopify store already, complete with the stock levels you set.

What you get

New product listings live in your Shopify store, fully stocked and ready to sell.

What you need

A Google account for the spreadsheet and a Shopify store with admin API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
