Prepare a spreadsheet with one product per row, save it as CSV, upload it on your vendor dashboard and review the results. Qyvea still reviews new products before they go live.
Key takeaways
- Use one product per row.
- Check prices, stock and categories before upload.
- Review the result after uploading.
01Prepare the file
- Open Excel or Google Sheets.
- One product per row.
- Columns for name, category, price and units in stock, following the template on the vendor dashboard.
- Save as CSV.
02Common formatting errors
- Commas inside a name break columns, so remove or quote them.
- Prices must be numbers with no currency text.
- Stock must be a whole number.
03Upload and review
Upload the CSV on your dashboard and read the result carefully. Fix any rejected rows and upload again.
04Keep the file
Keep your master spreadsheet. It becomes your stock list and your price list for next time.
05Build a clean master sheet first
Before you upload anything, build one master spreadsheet of your stock. Give every product a unique name, a consistent category, a numeric price and a whole-number quantity. Keep one column for notes you will not upload. Once this sheet is clean, uploads become routine and you can reuse it as your price list.
06After the upload
- Open the result and read each message.
- Fix rejected rows in your master sheet, not only in the upload copy.
- Add photos to every product that went through.
- Submit anything that still needs review.
- Save a dated copy of the file so you can see what changed.
07Naming and categories for large catalogues
- Use one naming pattern: brand, model, key spec, pack size.
- Never put the same product twice with different names.
- Use categories exactly as the dashboard lists them.
- Keep a separate sheet for products you plan to add later.
08When to upload and when to type
Use CSV when you have more than about ten products and your data is tidy. Type products manually when you are adding a few new lines with unusual specs, or when you want to see exactly how the form works. Many vendors upload their core range by CSV and add new products one at a time.
09A typical scenario
A supplier exports a stock sheet, removes commas from product names, uploads 60 rows and fixes four rejected prices.

- Not reviewing rejected rows.
11Quick checklist
- Use the template.
- Clean the data.
- Upload.
- Fix rejected rows.
