Import or Update Products in Bulk Using a CSV File

Outlink allows you to import new products or update existing products in bulk using a CSV file. You can also configure Outlinks during the import process, making it easy to manage large product catalogs without editing products individually.

How It Works

Step 1: Open the Import Tool

From the Outlink dashboard, navigate to:

Import → Via CSV

Step 2: Purchase Import Credits

Before starting the import, ensure you have sufficient Product Import/Update Credits.

  • 1 USD = 200 Credits
  • 1 Credit = Import or Update 1 Product

Tip
Credits are deducted only for products that are successfully imported or updated.

Step 3: Prepare Your CSV File

Important Notes

Variant Support

Bulk product import currently supports single-variant products only. Products with multiple variants are not supported.

Processing Time

The estimated processing time is:

Number of Products × 3 seconds

Actual processing time may vary depending on the number of products and platform API limits.

Tip

Before starting the import, review your CSV file to ensure all required fields are correctly mapped. This helps prevent import errors and ensures your products are processed successfully.
