Import & Export Prices into Custom Pricing

  • Updated

Custom Pricing provides you with the flexibility of bulk importing your wholesale discounts through a spreadsheet file. Uploading this file bypasses having to set up the pricing discounts from within the app's admin.

Using the Shopify product export feature and a spreadsheet editing program (Excel, Google Sheets, etc.), you're able to set specific discounts for each of your price tiers and products.

Note: This feature is available on the Premium plans or higher. For more information, please visit Custom Pricing: Overview & Pricing.

 

 

Requirements

  • Before you begin, ensure that all store products have a SKU entered.
  • You will need to be on a Custom Pricing Premium plan or higher for this functionality.
  • Stores that want to import prices with quantity breaks should follow the Bulk Import Prices with Quantity Breaks into Custom Pricing guide. This requires the Premium Select or Complete plan.

 

 

Important considerations

Uploading a CSV file creates a queue in Custom Pricing to synchronize prices for each line in the CSV file. Any other updates made in Custom Pricing after uploading a CSV file will be added to the end of the queue and will complete in the order it was actioned. Updates can take significantly longer to complete with very large CSV files.
