Here's a concise guide on importing products to Squarespace using CSV files:

You can import products to Squarespace in three main ways:

1. Moving products between Squarespace sites
2. Bulk editing existing products
3. Importing from other platforms

Import Limits:

• Version 7.1: Up to 10,000 products
• Version 7.0: Up to 200 products
• Both versions: Maximum 250 variants per product

Basic Steps:

1. Download the appropriate CSV template:

• For moving between Squarespace sites: Export from original site
• For bulk editing: Export existing products
• For new imports: Download template from Products panel

2. Format Your CSV File:

• Keep Product ID and Variant ID cells blank for new imports
• Ensure store page URLs match receiving site
• Match categories with existing store categories
• Follow character limits and formatting requirements
• Include proper image URLs with correct file extensions

3. Import Process:
4. Go to Products panel
5. Click Import
6. Drag and drop your CSV file
7. Review any errors
8. Save changes

Key Formatting Requirements:

• Product URLs: Use hyphens, no spaces
• Prices: Numbers only with decimal points
• Categories: Must match existing store categories
• Images: Direct URLs ending in image extensions
• SKUs: Up to 20 characters
• Tags: Comma-separated, up to 80 characters per tag

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Missing images: Check URL protocols (try http:// vs https://)
• Import failures: Copy data to new spreadsheet
• Category errors: Ensure categories exist in store
• URL errors: Verify matching store page slugs

Use platform-specific import options for:

• Shopify
• Etsy
• BigCartel

Remember: This is a one-time import - changes to original files won't sync automatically after import.
