To upload an exported products CSV file from Shopify to Webflow's Products Collection, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare your CSV file: Before uploading the file, make sure it is properly formatted and contains all the necessary information for your products. Ensure that the column headers match the field names in your Webflow Products Collection.

  2. Access the Webflow Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and access the Designer interface.

  3. Navigate to the CMS: From the Designer interface, click on the "CMS" tab located on the left-hand side of the screen.

  4. Open the Products Collection: In the CMS panel, select the Products Collection that you want to upload the CSV file to.

  5. Click on the "Import CSV" button: Within the Products Collection, locate the "Import CSV" button and click on it.

  6. Choose your CSV file: A file selection dialog will appear. Navigate to the directory where you have the exported Shopify CSV file saved and select it.

  7. Map the CSV columns to Webflow fields: After choosing the CSV file, Webflow will display a screen where you can map the columns from your CSV file to the appropriate fields in your Webflow Products Collection. Ensure that the mapping is correct and that all the necessary information is being transferred correctly.

  8. Review and import: Once you've mapped the columns, Webflow will provide a preview of the data to be imported. Review this preview and make sure everything looks accurate before proceeding.

  9. Import the data: If the preview looks good, click on the "Import" button to initiate the import process. Webflow will now upload and process the CSV file, populating your Products Collection with the data from Shopify.

  10. Verify and make changes if necessary: Once the import is complete, go through your Products Collection to verify that all the products and their associated information have been imported correctly. If needed, make any necessary changes or adjustments.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly import your Shopify product data into Webflow's Products Collection using an exported CSV file.
