Product upload & catalog

Getting your full product catalog into Shopify properly: titles, descriptions, images, variants, and collections, structured for both customers and search.

In depth

What product upload & catalog really involves

A store is only as good as its catalogue. Messy product data, with inconsistent titles, missing sizes, random tags and photos in every shape, makes a store feel untrustworthy and hard to filter. It's also tedious to fix after the fact, especially with a few hundred products.

We start by tidying the source: your spreadsheet, supplier file or old store export. Then we decide the structure. How are variants handled? What collections make sense to shoppers, not just to you? Which attributes do people filter by? A good structure up front means filters and navigation work without hacks later.

Product pages also matter for search, since each is a chance to appear for a specific query. We write titles and descriptions that read naturally and say something useful, instead of pasting a supplier's text that appears on fifty other sites. Duplicate manufacturer copy is one of the most common reasons product pages struggle to rank.

How it goes

How we approach product upload & catalog

01

Clean the source data

We standardise names, sizes, prices and SKUs in your spreadsheet or export before importing anything.

02

Plan collections, tags and variants

Structure follows how shoppers browse. We decide the logic before uploading.

03

Bulk import and image handling

Products go in through import tools, with images resized, named and given alt text.

04

Write and check product content

Titles and descriptions get tidied, and we spot-check the live store for errors.

Ideal for

Who this fits

01

Stores launching with a full product catalog

02

Businesses with a messy or inconsistent existing catalog

Watch out for

Common mistakes, and how we avoid them

Using supplier descriptions as-is

The same text on many sites is weak for SEO. We rewrite where it matters.

Inconsistent variants

Size and colour handled differently across products confuses filters. We standardise.

Heavy, unoptimised images

Large files slow pages. We compress and size them properly.

Product upload & catalog: common questions

Yes, through bulk import. The prep work on the data is usually the larger job, so a clean spreadsheet speeds things up.
