How to Add a New Product 

  1. Go to Products → Product List → Create New Product
  2. Enter Short name (e.g. Kimono Cardigan) and select Unit (usually Piece)
  3. Click the expand button (Additional parameters)
  4. Choose Product Category (blue tag) → select the deepest level
  5. Click + Product groups → pick existing group or type a new one (we recommend creating groups first under Product Groups menu)
  6. Click Confirm – you’re now in the full product passport

In Product Passport you can now fill everything properly:

  • Full product name & internal code
  • Description + attach spec sheets/photos
  • Supplier-facing and Customer-facing names & codes (different if needed)
  • Gross weight, volume (m³/piece), HS code, inventory buffer
  • Upload product photos (drag or click +)

Save when finished. The item instantly appears in your catalog, B2B store, and reports.


How to Bulk Import Products via Excel

  1. Go to Products → Product List → Import (top-right button)
  2. Click Download template → fill → save as .xlsx (one sheet only)
  3. Drag file or click to select → Import preview

Minimum required

  • Item code (if blank → system auto-generates)
  • Short item name
  • Main unit of measure

Optional (but pay attention here)

  • Product category
  • Product group
  • Full name, description, weight, volume, HS code, etc.

Critical note – Category & Group names

  • The system treats text exactly as written.

    • “Women’s Tops” in system + “Womens Tops” in file → it will create a new category (duplicate mess).
    • Same with Product Groups.

  • Recommendation: either

    • Create all categories & groups first, then copy-paste the exact names into your Excel file, or
    • Leave category/group columns blank during import and assign them later (safer & faster).

Other rules

  • Item code & Short item name must be unique (duplicates = blocked).
  • Everything else can stay blank – add later per item.

In preview: orange = required OK, blue = optional OK, red = error (fix directly), grey (with strikethrough) = value disallow.

When only orange/blue → Confirm import.

All items are now live. Next step → use bulk-edit to assign correct categories/groups if you left them blank.
