When importing products, you can choose how the app handles products that may already exist in your store.
Select the option that best matches your import requirements.
Option 1: Always Add New Products
Choose this option if you want every product in your CSV to be imported as a new product.
How It Works
- Every product in the CSV is created as a new product.
- The app does not check whether a product with the same SKU already exists.
- If duplicate SKUs are present, duplicate products may be created.
Best For
Importing a completely new product catalog or when creating duplicate products is intentional.
Option 2: Add or Update Products by SKU
Choose this option if you want the app to identify products using their SKU.
How It Works
- The app searches your store for a product with the same SKU.
- If a matching SKU is found, the existing product is updated with the latest information from the CSV.
- If no matching SKU is found, a new product is created automatically.
Best For
Keeping your product catalog up to date while avoiding duplicate products.
Which Option Should You Choose?
| Import Option | Recommended When |
|---|---|
Always Add New Products | You're importing a completely new set of products or intentionally creating new product listings. |
Add or Update Products by SKU | You regularly update your existing catalog and want to prevent duplicate products by matching SKUs. |
Tip
To ensure accurate product updates, make sure each product has a unique SKU before using the Add or Update Products by SKU option.
