Bulk-import designs with Excel

Create many designs at once from one .xlsx file: preview, then confirm.

Open Design Library โ†’ Import designs. Nothing is created until you review the preview and confirm. You need the permission to upload designs (store owner or Order manager).

1
Download the templateDownload template

Click Download template. The file has a sample row and an instructions sheet.

2
Fill in one row per design

Required: design_name and product_sku (matched by SKU prefix, never by product name). Optional: design_sku (blank = generated for you), mockup_url (http/https link), and one design_<print position> column per print file, e.g. design_front (plus optional blueprint_<position> / emb_<position>). Several mockup images: put several links in the mockup_url cell, separated by a comma (,) or a semicolon (;), up to 10. Full-body positions (design_full / design_full_3d): one link per piece in the same cell, separated by , or ;, in piece order, up to 7; other positions take one file.

3
Upload the fileChoose .xlsx file

Click Choose .xlsx file. The system checks every row and the preview opens automatically.

4
Review the preview

Each row is Ready or Error, with details. Turn on "Only rows with errors" to focus on problems.

5
Confirm

Click Import {n} designs. Only Ready rows are created; rows with errors are skipped.

Existing designs are never overwritten
A design_sku already in your Library makes that row skip. The same design_sku twice in the file, or a code used by another seller, is an error โ€” choose another code.

Limits and behaviour:

  • .xlsx only, first sheet only, no merged cells, at most 5,000 rows and 10MB.
  • One design import at a time; you can cancel only before confirming.
  • The preview shows the first 100 rows.
  • A print position the product does not have is only a warning: the design is created without that print file and you add it later.
  • A job stuck for more than 5 minutes is marked failed โ€” upload the file again (rows already created then show as already in your Library).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I update existing designs with an import?

No. Import only creates new designs; edit existing ones in the Design Library.

Can I leave mockup_url empty?

Yes, but items using that design cannot go into production until a mockup is added.

How do I add several mockup images or several full-body print pieces?

Put all the links in the SAME cell, separated by a comma (,) or a semicolon (;). mockup_url takes up to 10 images; design_full / design_full_3d take up to 7 pieces in the template piece order. Other print positions take one file โ€” several links there is reported as an error at preview. A link pasted twice in the same cell is kept once, with a warning (not blocked).

Can I see my past design imports?

No. Only the import that is currently open is shown on the page.
