Import your products with a CSV

The fastest way to load your catalog is a CSV import. Most teams bring in their full SKU list in two to three minutes.

Prepare your file

Your CSV needs one row per product and, at minimum, these columns:

Column	Required	Example
sku	Yes	OOL-001-1L
name	Yes	Organic Olive Oil 1L
category	No	Food
barcode	No	055744731601
unit_cost	No	4.20
reorder_point	No	50

Column names are not case-sensitive, and extra columns are ignored. Save the file as UTF-8 CSV.

Run the import

1. Go to Inventory → Products → All products.
2. Click Import.
3. Upload your CSV. Klovio shows a preview of the first few rows.
4. Map each column to a Klovio field. Anything you named exactly as above maps automatically.
5. Click Import. Rows with errors are listed so you can fix and re-upload just those.

Good to know

• SKUs must be unique. If a SKU already exists, the import updates that product instead of creating a duplicate — so you can also use a CSV to bulk-edit.
• Importing products does not create stock. It builds your catalog. You add quantities later by receiving shipments or doing a count.
• Up to 500 SKUs import in a couple of minutes. Larger catalogs are fine too, they just take a little longer.

Tip: don’t have a clean export from your old system? Start with the four columns sku, name, category, barcode. You can always enrich products later.
