Hi
I’m wondering how to go about formatting my product CSV to enable me to add product information, with a view to it helping with filtering and search.
Each product will have this data:
Brand
Gender
Product type
Size
Family
Season
Special features
Each of these has various options.
How do I go about adding these to my products?
Thanks for your help and support 
Hi,
You can create metafields for each product data and then download the products in a .csv format. Shopify’s new feature now includes metafields in the CSV file!
Thanks!
Slightly confused as to how to add the metafields! If I add them to my CSV and upload - they will be created? Say if I use column heading NAME(product.metafields.shopify.NAME) and fill in the fields it will upload and create these metafields? So I’m thinking : Special Features(product.metafields.shopify.special-features) and the values would be “vegan” “sustainably sourced” etc…?
Just tryna get my head around it - moved from Woocommerce… !
Is the CSV created by you, or did you export the products from Shopify in CSV format? If you exported the products from Shopify, you can first create the metafields in the Shopify admin. Then, export the products in CSV format. When you open the CSV file, it will automatically include the metafield columns for you to fill in.
I haven’t tried importing metafields, but you don’t lose anything by trying.
HI,
The original CSV was from Woocommerce then adjusted with template from Shopify. Uploaded to get all products in the shop.
I’ve then exported from Shopify to see how the CSV fields are working as although not essential right now - having those extra bits of information will be very useful for filtering and searching.
I’ll have a play around!
