You have the option to import all your products \u2014 inclusive of their variations and categories \u2014 from any alternative ecommerce platform or inventory management software that allows you to export your product list in comma-separated values (CSV) format. In contrast to the standard Collection item import process, where you need to manually assign fields, Webflow’s Ecommerce product import function is automatic and handles the field mapping for you.<\/p>\n

You can also extract your goods, variations, and categories into a CSV file (for example, to shift them to a new Webflow site or to create a backup of your products).<\/p>\n

Important: <\/strong>Product and variation import\/export capability is only accessible within the Designer.<\/h6>\n
