How do I import a CSV file into Shopify?
Upload your CSV to Shelvio exactly as your supplier sent it — no reformatting. Shelvio's AI reads your columns, maps them to Shopify fields, cleans the data, and shows a preview before publishing. You never rename headers or match a template.
How do I import an Excel (.xlsx) file into Shopify?
Shelvio imports Excel (.xlsx) files natively — you don't convert them to CSV first. Drag your spreadsheet in as-is; the AI detects each column and publishes clean products to Shopify. Shopify's built-in importer only accepts CSV, so this removes a manual conversion step.
How do I import products to Shopify without a template?
With Shelvio you skip Shopify's CSV template entirely. Instead of forcing your file into fixed column names, the AI works out what each column means, so any supplier file imports without prep. That is the core difference from Shopify's built-in importer, which rejects files that don't match its exact format.
How do I map the columns from a supplier's file?
Shelvio maps columns automatically with AI — it identifies price, title, SKU, description and more, even when headers are unusual or missing. You can adjust any mapping in the preview, and Shelvio saves it per supplier, so the next file from that supplier maps instantly.
Can I import a product catalog in another language?
Yes. Shelvio's AI detects columns regardless of the language of your headers or data, so a supplier catalog in Spanish, French, German or another language maps to Shopify without you translating column names by hand.
How do I bulk-update prices and stock on Shopify?
On the Ultra plan, Shelvio updates existing products in bulk using Shopify Bulk Operations, matching them by SKU, handle or barcode. Upload a supplier file with new prices or stock levels and Shelvio updates the matching products — no editing product by product.
