Export your optimized content to Shopify using the built-in CSV import feature.

Importing to Shopify

Required Field Mapping
Valuna Field | Shopify Field |
name | Title |
sku | Handle |
description | Body (HTML) |
price | Variant Price |
Updating Existing Products
To update products instead of creating duplicates:
Include the Handle column with existing handles
Check "Overwrite existing products that have the same handle"
Only include columns you want to update
HTML in Descriptions
Shopify accepts HTML in the "Body (HTML)" column. Valuna exports preserve formatting including headings, lists, bold, and italic text.
Image Handling
To update images via CSV:
Image URLs must be publicly accessible
Use the "Image Src" column for main product images
Multiple images require separate rows with the same Handle
Common Import Errors
Invalid Handle: Must be lowercase, no spaces (use hyphens)
Price format: Use numbers only, no currency symbols
Missing required fields: Title and Handle are always required
Tip: Export your products from Shopify first to see the exact format. Use that file as a template to ensure column headers match perfectly.
