EasyPopulate

Creating products from a CSV

EasyPopulate

Rather than enter products one-by-one in the admin panel, some storeowners prefer to use tools that will import a CSV containing product information. One such tool is called EasyPopulate. Other spellings of this name include:

  • “Easy Populate”
  • “EZPopulate”
  • “EZ-Populate”

You can find EasyPopulate in the Plugins Library. Many versions exist; the one version linked here is the most recent and well supported.

Notes on using EasyPopulate:

  • Loading data is a two-step process: first you upload the file, then you import the data.
  • The key for product data imports is the model number field. You may wish to use Find Duplicate Models as an aid to making your model numbers unique if you suspect you have duplicates.
