Choose your import settings

The Import settings card on the Import page controls how imported products are created in your Shopify store. Set them before you click Start migration; they apply to every product in that import.

The settings

• Add to collection: pick a collection and every imported product is added to it. Only manual collections work here. Automated collections are not allowed because Shopify manages their contents by rules.
• Price multiplier: multiplies each product's price. For example, a multiplier of 1.5 turns a $10 product into $15. Use 1 to keep original prices.
• Set product as active: on, products go live immediately. Off, they're created as drafts so you can review them first.
• This is a physical product: marks products as requiring shipping.
• Charge tax on this product: marks products as taxable.
• Track quantity: turns on inventory tracking for the imported products.

Tips

• Importing as drafts (turning Set product as active off) is the safest choice for large imports. You can review and publish products in your Shopify admin when you're ready.
• Settings are per import. Check them each time, especially the price multiplier.
