Importing your products from CSV, Shopify or WooCommerce

Bring your catalog in from a Storix template, Shopify or WooCommerce CSV or a generic file: map columns, review warnings and errors, then commit the import.

Launch basics

Nobody re-types two hundred products by hand, and with Storix nobody has to. The Import products flow loads your catalog from a file — an export from Shopify or WooCommerce, or a simple spreadsheet you fill yourself. You will find the button on the Catalog screen («استيراد منتجات»); the import is a two-permission operation, so make sure your account holds both Manage products and Manage pricing before you start, because a import that cannot write prices is stopped before it begins.

The flow is a staged wizard, and the staging is the point: nothing reaches your live catalog until you have seen exactly what will happen. First you pick the source: a Storix template file (.xlsx or .csv) for a clean start, a Shopify CSV export, a WooCommerce CSV export, or a generic CSV for which Storix walks you through mapping your column names to its fields.

Map, review, commit

For a generic file the mapping step shows your column headers and asks which Storix field each one feeds; for Shopify and WooCommerce exports the mapping is known, so you start at the review. The review screen is a two-column verdict: rows that will import cleanly, and rows carrying warnings (a missing field Storix can default) or errors (a row that cannot import, with the reason on the row). Fix errors in the source file and re-upload, or import the clean rows now and the rest later — staged rows wait on their own review screen until you deal with them.

Getting a clean file out of your old platform

Before exporting, clean the old catalog: one product per row, prices as plain numbers without currency symbols, and variant options in consistent columns. The twenty minutes of scrubbing saves an evening of error-chasing during mapping. If your old store used product metadata heavily, decide before importing which of those fields actually matter to the new storefront, and let the rest go.

After the import

Walk the catalog once after committing: spot-check images, variants and prices on a handful of products, then place a test order for an imported product to prove the whole chain — price, stock, shipping — survived the migration.
