Product Catalog Management
Can I upload products in bulk?
Summary
Merchants can manage product catalogs in ShopIQ and may use available catalog workflows to add multiple products efficiently. Bulk product upload depends on the supported product import method, available data format, and implementation workflow. Merchants with large catalogs can also request help from an Implementation Partner.
Who this is for: This article is for merchants who have many products and want to add them to ShopIQ without creating each product manually one by one.
Can I upload products in bulk?
ShopIQ supports product catalog management for large and growing catalogs. Merchants can add products manually and use AI-assisted workflows to speed up catalog creation. For bulk product upload, the exact process depends on the supported import method, available product data format, and the merchant's setup.
If a merchant has a large catalog, they should prepare structured product data and work with ShopIQ Support or an Implementation Partner if needed.
What product data should I prepare?
- Product name
- Product description
- Product price
- MRP, if applicable
- Product category
- Sub-category
- Collection
- Product images or image URLs
- SKU
- Stock quantity
- Size
- Color
- Material
- Variant options
- Product tags
- SEO title
- SEO description
- Shipping weight, if required
The more organized the product data, the smoother the catalog setup process.
Can I upload product images in bulk?
Product images can be added to products with no fixed limit on images per product. Each image file can be up to 20 MB. If images are being imported from an existing system, image URLs may be used where supported. Merchants should ensure they own or have rights to use the images.
Can AI help with bulk catalog creation?
Yes. AI can help speed up bulk catalog creation by generating product titles, product descriptions, SEO metadata, product categorization, product tags, collection content, product visuals, and catalog content.
AI-powered catalog generation consumes AI credits.
Can I import from another ecommerce platform?
Migration from another ecommerce platform may be possible depending on the data export available from the previous platform. Merchants moving from Shopify, WooCommerce, Dukaan, or other systems may be able to use product exports, spreadsheets, or structured data to recreate the catalog inside ShopIQ. Full website themes, code, and platform-specific layouts are not imported as-is.
Can I bulk upload product variants?
Product variants can be created in ShopIQ. ShopIQ supports up to 5 variant options — Color, Size, Material, and 2 custom options. For bulk setup, variant data should be prepared clearly so each product option can be mapped correctly.
Can I bulk generate descriptions?
Yes. ShopIQ can use AI to help generate descriptions for multiple products. This is useful when a merchant has product images, short names, or basic product details but needs complete product descriptions. AI-generated content should always be reviewed for accuracy.
Can an Implementation Partner help with bulk product upload?
Yes. Merchants with large catalogs can request a callback and work with an Implementation Partner. Partners can help clean product data, organize categories, upload products, configure variants, create descriptions, set up SEO fields, and prepare the catalog for launch.
Does bulk catalog work consume AI credits?
Manual product setup does not consume AI credits. AI-assisted bulk catalog tasks consume AI credits when performed through AI Chat or AI tools — for example, generating descriptions, creating titles, writing SEO metadata, categorizing products using AI, or generating catalog content.
Important things to know
Bulk product setup should be reviewed carefully before publishing. Merchants should verify product prices, descriptions, categories, images, stock, variant mapping, taxes, shipping details, and SEO metadata. Incorrect bulk data can affect customer experience, order accuracy, and business operations.
