Streamline your product catalog management by bulk uploading items through Skupreme's comprehensive CSV template system for efficient inventory control.
Getting Started with Bulk Upload
To begin uploading multiple catalog items simultaneously in Skupreme, you'll first need to access the catalog management interface. Navigate to the Catalog module within your Skupreme dashboard, then locate and click the black "Add Items" button positioned in the top right corner of the screen.
Once you've clicked the Add Items button, you'll be presented with template download options to facilitate your bulk upload process. Skupreme offers two template variations to accommodate different user needs: a pre-filled template containing sample data to guide your formatting, and a basic template with empty fields ready for your product information.
Understanding the Catalog Feed Template
The Skupreme catalog template is a comprehensive CSV file designed to capture all essential product information across 36 different data fields. This template supports bulk uploads of up to 911 products simultaneously, making it ideal for businesses managing extensive inventories.
Core Product Information Fields
The template includes essential product details through dedicated "P_" prefixed columns:
P_SKU serves as your primary product identifier, while P_TITLE contains the product name that customers will see. The P_PRICE field accepts numerical values, with P_CURRENCY typically set to "USD" for pricing context. Your product descriptions go in P_DESCRIPTION, and you can include product page links in P_LINK. Visual content is managed through P_IMAGES_DISPLAY_IMAGE for your primary product photos.
Product Identification System
SkuPpeme employs a flexible identification system starting with the UPC field as your primary product code. The UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER_TYPE field specifies whether you're using SKU, UPC, or another identifier format. For additional tracking needs, SECONDARY_IDENTIFIER provides an extra identification layer.
Enhanced Product Attributes
The template supports detailed product specifications through multiple attribute fields. G_ATTRIBUTES_SHORT_TITLE allows for concise product summaries, while G_ATTRIBUTES_KEY_FEATURES_1 through G_ATTRIBUTES_KEY_FEATURES_6 accommodate up to six distinct selling points or product characteristics.
Comprehensive Packaging Information
Physical product specifications are captured through dedicated dimension fields. PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_HEIGHT_VALUE, PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_LENGTH_VALUE, and PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_WIDTH_VALUE record numerical measurements, while their corresponding unit fields (PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_HEIGHT_UNIT, PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_LENGTH_UNIT, PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_WIDTH_UNIT) specify whether measurements are in inches, centimeters, or other units.
Weight information follows the same pattern with PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_WEIGHT_VALUE for numerical weight and PACKAGE_DIMENSIONS_WEIGHT_UNIT for units like pounds or kilograms.
Shipping and Fulfillment Settings
The template includes shipping configuration options through boolean fields. SHIP_IN_BOX and SHIP_IN_MAILER determine packaging preferences, while SINGLE_FIRST_PACKAGING controls initial packaging protocols. These settings directly impact your fulfillment workflows and shipping costs.
Advanced Commerce Features
For businesses with complex pricing needs, PRICE_RULE allows you to specify pricing strategies beyond simple fixed amounts. The TAGS field supports product categorization and searchability, while STATE tracks item status within your catalog management system.
Specialized fields like CLASSIFICATION_CODE support tax and regulatory compliance, DUTY_RATE manages international shipping calculations, and MATERIAL captures product composition information. For marketplace sellers, WAYFAIR_SUPPLIER_PART provides specific integration capabilities.
Template Best Practices
When preparing your catalog data, ensure all required fields contain appropriate values and maintain consistent formatting across entries. Use the pre-filled template as a reference for proper data structure and formatting requirements.
Boolean fields should contain "true" or "false" values, while numerical fields must be properly formatted without currency symbols or units in value fields. Keep descriptions concise but informative, and ensure all product identifiers are unique within your catalog.
Uploading Your Completed Template
After populating your template with product information, save the file in CSV format and return to the Add Items interface in Skupreme. Follow the upload prompts to import your catalog data, and review any validation messages to ensure successful processing of all product entries.
The bulk upload feature significantly reduces manual data entry time while maintaining accuracy and consistency across your entire product catalog, making it an essential tool for efficient inventory management in SkuPreme.
