Export your optimized content to BigCommerce using CSV import.

Exporting from Valuna

  • Go to Products

  • Select the products to export

  • Click "Export"

  • Choose "CSV Standard"

  • Download the file

CSV File Requirements

  • Maximum file size: 30MB

  • Price values without currency symbols

  • Image filenames can only contain: a-z, 0-9, - and _

  • For new products, leave the ID field blank

  • Set Type as "physical" for physical products

Importing to BigCommerce

  • Log in to your BigCommerce control panel

  • Go to Products in the left menu

  • Click "Import"

  • Click "Choose File" and select your CSV

  • Click "Next" to proceed to field mapping

  • Map your columns to BigCommerce fields

  • Click "Next" to start the import

Important Import Settings

  • Overwrite existing products: Enable to update products by SKU or ID

  • Ignore blank values: Keep this enabled to avoid accidentally deleting data

HTML in Descriptions

BigCommerce supports HTML in product descriptions. Valuna exports preserve formatting including headings, lists, and paragraphs.

Product Variants

To import products with variants, create a separate row for each variant. Include the parent product ID and variant-specific details in separate columns.

Important Limitations

  • You cannot create new categories via CSV import, only assign existing ones

  • Digital product files cannot be added via CSV

Important: Create a backup before importing. Go to Advanced Settings > Backup Points in your control panel. For imports over 1000 products, BigCommerce processes in the background and emails you when complete.
