Bulk Create Products
When you need to add multiple products quickly, use the Bulk Create feature. It’s faster than adding products one by one and uses simplified fields.
When to Use Bulk Create
Bulk Create is ideal when:
- Setting up your initial product catalog
- Adding a group of related products
- You only need basic information initially
If you need to add detailed notes or specifications, use the regular Add Product method or add details later by editing.
Create Multiple Products
Navigate to Inventory
Go to Resources → Inventory in the left sidebar.
Click Bulk Create
Click the Bulk Create button (next to Import CSV).
Add Product Rows
A modal window opens with the bulk create form. Each row represents one product.
For each product, fill in:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Yes âś± | Name of the product |
| Category | Yes âś± | Select from dropdown |
| Unit | Yes âś± | Select unit of measurement |
| SKU | No | Optional product code |
Add More Rows
Click the + Add Row button to add more products. You can add as many rows as needed.
Remove Rows (If Needed)
To remove a row you don’t need, click the trash icon on the right side of that row.
Review Your Products
At the bottom of the modal, you’ll see a count of how many products will be created.
Click the Review X inventory button to continue.
Confirm and Create
Review the list of products and confirm. All products will be added to your inventory catalog.

Best Practices
Plan Your Categories
Before bulk creating, decide which categories you’ll use:
- Group similar products together
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Check that categories exist in Settings → Default Values
Use Descriptive Names
Even in bulk mode, use clear names that identify each product:
- ✅ “NPK Fertilizer 15-15-15 25kg”
- ✅ “Tomato Seeds Roma Variety”
- ❌ “Fertilizer” (too generic)
Add SKU Codes
SKU codes help with organization:
- Use a consistent format
- Include category prefix if helpful
- Make them unique and easy to read
Add Details After
For a typical workflow:
- Use Bulk Create to quickly add all products
- Then edit each product individually to add:
- Brand information
- Detailed notes
- Safety specifications
