Importing products from a spreadsheet
Bring a whole product list in from a CSV, with a preview before anything is saved.
Catalogue → Products → Import brings a whole product list in from a CSV file, which any spreadsheet can save.
- Download the template, or use your own file — a spreadsheet saved as CSV, or the export from your old system.
- Check the columns. SalonX matches the headings it recognises: product name, brand, barcode, SKU, supply price, retail price, stock, supplier. Change any that are wrong, or set a column to Don't import.
- Preview. You see how many products will be added, how many updated, and any rows that can't be read, each with the reason.
- Import.
How rows are matched
A row that matches a product you already have — by SKU, then barcode, then name — updates that product rather than making a second one. Only the columns in your file are changed, so a file with just names and prices won't wipe your stock levels.
What else it does
- Suppliers named in the file that you don't have yet are created.
- Stock quantities in the file are set as the current stock, and show in each product's history as an import.
- A file can hold up to 3,000 rows.
