Product List: Have the option to import products from an external source

Hello,

I'm wondering is there a way that I can upload an inventory list into a form instead of having to do it one by one?

Hi, thank you for contacting support.

Could you please provide us with more details about your requirements so we can assist you properly?

If you are referring to the Product List inventory or in the Inventory widget, unfortunately, there is no tool that would import the list automatically. You need to add them manually.

We look forward to your response.

Hi,

I have a list of items I'd like to add to my grocery ordering form. Its a pain in the butt to have to add each item manually, especially when the items change monthly. Not to mention that there could be updwards of 100 items to choose from.

I completely understand how painful it is to add items to the Product List manually especially if you have hundreds of them. As my colleague has mentioned earlier, there's no support for importing products from an external source.

That said, I have opened a feature request to our relevant team, and hopefully, importing products will be made easier(importing the products from a sheet). If you have suggestions on how to make it easier, they are very much welcome.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi Gomes_Abigail

You asked—we delivered. We’re excited to share that Product Import is now live! In a few quick steps, you can now easily import products directly into the Product List in a few different ways. Here’s how to get started:

1. In Form Builder, select your Product List and then click on the Shopping Cart icon.
   
2. In the Product List Settings menu on the right, click on Import.
3. In the Import Products window that opens, select the platform you want to import your products from: CSV/Excel, PDF, Image, or Shopify (in this example, we used CSV/Excel).
4. Drag and drop your file into the File Upload area.
5. It’ll automatically map your file’s fields to Product Fields. To change a mapping, click on the Downward Arrow under XLSX Fields to select a column or the X icon to delete it. And when you’re done, click on Review and Import.
6. In the Review Products section, click on the fields you want to change manually, or click the Pencil icon to generate text with AI.
7. Then, click on Import to continue.
8. That’s it! Your products have been added. Just click on the OK button to view them.

Here’s a breakdown of how they work:

• CSV/Excel: Upload your file, and Jotform AI will automatically detect and map your data to the product fields. You can review, edit, or generate missing fields with AI before completing the import.
• PDF/Image: Jotform AI will detect and extract product data for you.
• Shopify: Export your Shopify inventory—the exported file is fully supported for direct import.

WooCommerce support will be available soon!

Thanks again for your feedback and helping us improve Jotform. Let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you.
