Four small upload tools that change one thing on many products, matched by barcode.
The Update by barcode group of the Actions menu holds six tools that each take a short CSV file. This page covers four of them: Prices, Images, External ID and Translations. Enable products and Barcodes are in Barcode clean-up tools. They all work the same way: download the sample, fill it in, upload it, and the update runs in the background. Each page lists its Past runs.
The group is hidden on the free package.
Actions › Prices. Changes the selling price, for example from a supplier's price list. Up to 50,000 rows; barcodes that are not in your shop are skipped. Every product with that barcode gets the new price.
| Column | Required | Allowed values | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
barcode | Yes | The barcode exactly as saved on the product | 1234567890123 |
price | Yes | The new selling price | 12.50 |
Actions › Images. Replaces the main image of each matching product. The first two columns must be barcode and image, in that order.
| Column | Required | Allowed values | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
barcode | Yes | The product's barcode | 12311 |
image | Yes | A full image link, or the file name of a photo uploaded in the File manager | milk-1l.jpg |
Actions › External ID. Links products to the codes of another system, such as your POS or ERP. The first row must be exactly id,barcode,external_id.
| Column | Required | Allowed values | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
id | When matching by ID | The product ID | 1 |
barcode | When matching by barcode | The product's barcode | 1234567890123 |
external_id | Yes | The code from the other system | EXT001 |
The switch Match by barcode decides how rows are matched. Off: by product ID. On: by barcode, handy when the IDs are not in your file.
Actions › Translations. Adds names, descriptions and unit labels in another language. Choose the Language first; one file is one language. The first column must be barcode. The English texts are not changed.
| Column | Required | Allowed values | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
barcode | Yes | The product's barcode | 12311 |
name | No | The name in the chosen language | |
description | No | The description in the chosen language | |
unitLabel | No | The unit label in the chosen language | كيلو |
If the page says No other language is turned on, your shop only uses English. Extra languages are enabled for your shop by support.
