What you can import

• Suppliers — name, contact details, address, currency, payment terms.
• Supplier–variant links — per-row supplier SKU, cost, MOQ, pack size, lead time.
• Existing-system imports — Stocky-style exports are supported.

The unified import flow

Every import in Logistified uses the same flow:

1. Click “Import” from Suppliers or from Settings → Data Import.
2. Pick an upload type (Suppliers / Supplier–variant links / etc.).
3. Choose a file (CSV / XLSX).
4. Map columns to fields. Logistified auto-detects common column names.
5. Preview the parsed rows. Validation errors highlight in red.
6. Click “Import.”

If you import the same file shape regularly, save the mapping as an import templateImport templateA saved column-mapping preset for CSV / XLSX uploads. Reusable across imports of the same file shape. Configured in Settings → Import Templates. Read more → for reuse (Settings → Import Templates).

Variant ID flexibility

Both the full Shopify global variant identifier (e.g., gid://shopify/ProductVariant/12345) and the bare numeric ID (12345) are accepted. Logistified normalises.

SKU case sensitivity

Dedupe by Variant ID or SKU is case-insensitive — “ABC-001” and “abc-001” are treated as the same SKU.

Partial-failure behavior

If some rows fail validation, behavior depends on the import type:

• Bulk upsert. All valid rows are imported; failed rows are reported. Some import types behave this way.
• All-or-nothing. No rows imported if any fail. Other types behave this way.

The preview step shows you what will happen before you commit.

Tip

Always start with a small import (10 rows) to validate your column mapping before running a 10,000-row file.

Note

Imports never delete data. To remove existing supplier links, do it manually.
