Common questions

How do I import products from a CSV file into my online store?

Put your product name, description, price and stock into columns of a CSV spreadsheet. In Pludor, open Products, choose Bulk Import (CSV), press Import CSV and select your file. Review the imported products, fix any gaps, then mark them available for purchase.

What columns should my product CSV have?

At minimum, include name, description, price and stock - one product per row. You can also add identifiers like Brand, GTIN/UPC/EAN, MPN, SKU and condition, which Google Shopping, Meta and AI shopping assistants look for. Cost and supplier fields stay private to you.

How much does bulk CSV product import cost?

On Pludor it's on for every store, including the Free plan - a free amount every month, then you pay only for what you use (1 credit = 1 cent). There's no item limit, so importing a large catalog doesn't cost extra per product.

How do I move hundreds of products from another platform without typing them in again?

Export your catalog from your old platform as a CSV, clean up the columns, and import it in one step. Pludor's Bulk Import (CSV) has no item limit and is built for stores migrating with large catalogs. After import, review the products and publish them.

Is there a free way to import products in bulk?

Yes - Pludor includes Bulk Import (CSV) on its Free plan, and creating a store needs no card. You get a free amount of usage every month and only pay for what you use beyond that.

How do I write product descriptions fast for a big import?

Paste a product's details into a description generator and get ready-to-use text for your import sheet. Pludor's free Product Description Generator does this with 8 free runs an hour and no account needed. You can also use Pludor's AI Studio for images and videos to improve your listings.

Can I import AliExpress products in bulk instead of a CSV?

Yes. In Pludor, connect your AliExpress account in Settings, then open AliExpress Import and search or paste product links to import. Use Bulk Edit to set margins and rewrite titles, and turn on automated fulfillment so supplier orders are placed when customers pay.

How does Pludor compare to Shopify or Etsy for importing and selling a big catalog?

Pludor gives you your own storefront plus a listing in its marketplace, whereas with Shopify/Wix you typically bring all the traffic and on Etsy you compete in a crowded marketplace. Chat, AI receptionist and AI content are built in rather than separate subscriptions. The free plan has every feature on with no item limit, versus trial periods on most builders.

What should I do after importing my products so shoppers can find them?

Add Brand, GTIN/UPC/EAN, MPN, SKU and condition to each product - these are the fields Google Shopping, Meta and AI shopping assistants look for, and your feed picks them up automatically. Then connect Stripe in Settings so you can get paid, and share your store link or product QR codes on social media.

Do I need to pay for a plan before I can import my catalog?

No - Bulk Import (CSV) is on for every store, including the Free plan, and you can create a store without a card. New stores also get 500 free credits for tools and AI. Monthly plans are optional bundles if you later need bigger free amounts.
