destinyestringer Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi! I am mocking up a Squarespace site for a client who currently uses Shopify. I don't want to spend time moving over products manually/individually when this is just a demo site to show her what Squarespace can do. I am trying to use the product import by downloading a group of sample products from Shopify but every single time I go to import into Squarespace it gives me an error message to check formatting. I am going through the Shopify specific csv upload, so not sure what is up! Plus, if she does end up moving over to Squarespace, it would really sell her on it if I could just take the whole store and import it over. Thanks! Link to comment

It's virtually impossible for us to offer any additional advice without access to the CSV file. The Shopify specific import is usually straightforward so if it isn't working, I recommend looking through the CSV file to see if there are any obvious issues. This guide covers the steps: Importing products from Etsy, Shopify, and Big Cartel - but you're probably aware of this. Edited May 13, 2022 by paul2009 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

destinyestringer Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 Sorry, I didn't think about that! And yes, I am! They don't list out specifically what the format should be, so I am unsure of what is going wrong. Here is a link to a Google Sheet since I can't upload a .csv here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zR0PtHTY6tq-jTYKlKx8xqmaDH4U9h-zNPoJM48wQa0/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment
paul2009 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) I cannot see any issues with the format. I tried another Shopify CSV and saw the same error. Looks like an issue that will require help from Customer Care. Edited May 25, 2022 by paul2009 About: Squarespace Circle Leader since 2017.

walunter Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Dear friends, have you solved this problem? I encountered the same difficulty as you. Link to comment
Solution JudyD Posted January 15 Solution Share Posted January 15 After much trial and error I figured it out. It will import it you create and title the columns the same as the squarespace product export. So, I had to add about missing columns. Product ID [Non Editable] Product Type [Non Editable] Product Type [Non Editable] Product Page Stock CATEGORIES Visible On Sale Product URL (copy product title and slugify it with dashes) Weight Width Length Height Then change these: Variant sku - change to SKU Variant price - change to Price Image URL - change to Hosted Image URLs IF you are uploading as generic CSV it will give you all of these changes as error codes. Then for good measure I uploaded as a shopify csv file. Link to comment
