CSV Import Guide

Use CSV import when you want to add many auction listings to the same event at once.

Before You Begin

Make sure:

  • Your plan includes CSV import

  • You have created an auction event

  • You have created the products in Shopify

Creating Your CSV File

You can create your CSV file in Excel, Google Sheets, or any other spreadsheet software. We recommend first adding a listing to your auction event manually, then exporting that listing to CSV. This gives you a template with the correct column headers and formatting.

Once you have your CSV file ready, follow these steps to import your listings:

  1. Open your auction event.

  2. Click Import from CSV.

  3. Review the column mapping.

  4. Check the preview rows.

  5. Start the import.

The import runs in the background, so you can keep working while it processes.

Common Import Problems

Product not found

Double-check the Shopify product handle.

Offer rule not found

Create the offer rule first, then use the exact same name in the CSV.

Product fee not found

Create the product fee first, then use the exact same name in the CSV.

Import already in progress

Only one CSV import can run at a time. Wait for the first import to finish before starting another.

Limits

  • Maximum rows per import: 500

If you need a higher limit, contact support@auctionplusapp.com.

Column Reference

Use the separate CSV Column Reference for required fields, optional fields, and formatting notes.
