Importing Bundles
Overview
Bundles are two or more items sold together. Creating a bundle allows you to group items that are exclusively sold together or group items that can be purchased together and separately.
This document covers the process of importing bundles, which is done using a CSV or JSON file.
File Guidelines
You can import products using a CSV or JSON file only; no other data or file formats are supported.
-
SKU is a required field to create or update a bundle.
-
When adding a SKU to a bundle, enter the quantity to add in the same cell as the SKU itself. For example, if a bundle requires two of item 12345, enter 2, 12345 in the SKU cell.
-
When updating or upserting bundles, entering null in a spreadsheet cell will override existing values with blank values.
Although not required, we recommend that you download the template file to use as a guide when creating your own file for import to minimize errors during the import process.
Attribute Data Format
When preparing your file for import, ensure that the attribute data format aligns with following attribute type requirements:
-
String: Ensure the data is in text string format. If a string attribute contains multiple values, the values need to be sent as a stringified array, for example:
["a","b"]
. -
Number: Numerical data only.
-
Boolean: Use true or false only; other values will be ignored.
