Filling the Template
Βefore you start populating the CSV you should read the CSV Example. Inside the CSV Example you can see light green columns, these are the essential ones to fill out. Every row refers to a product and every column refers to a product’s specification. As you can see every column from column A to column K has a specification naming like SKU, Regular price, Manufacturer etc. below which you will fill in your products details. Every product has its own row so every specification of a product should be in the same row (line) as the other specifications referring to this single product. So what you have to do is to start filling every row separately and horizontally for product’s specification which is written on the top of every column.
SKU
Inside the cells below this field you will fill the stock keeping unit of your product or simply the product’s code.
Product’s Name
Below Product’s Name field you will need to write your product’s title, we advise you to keep your titles short and comprehensive.
Short Description
Inside Short Description field’s cells you have to fill a description of maximum 5 words that explains your product succinctly. Product’s Short Description is going to be displayed below your product’s title and it will be visible from other users in category listing.

If you want to give a regular price for your product you will fill the number 1 in Quantity column cells and next to them the price of the product, this price will refer to a single product and not for a price table.
