1. Open the importer
On the Products page (Catalogue → Products), click Import (top right, next to Add product). You’ll need the Manage products permission.
2. Upload your file
Drag your CSV onto the upload area, or click Choose a CSV file. No file yet? Click Download template for a ready-made CSV with the right headers.3. Match your columns
Bella auto-matches each of its fields to a column in your file. Check the matches (Product name and Unit price are required), then click Next.
4. Review and fix errors
Bella validates every row and splits the results into two tabs:- Ready to Import — rows that will be added, with their brand, price, cost, SKU and barcode.
- Validation Errors — rows that can’t be imported yet.
A product whose name already exists in your catalogue is also flagged here, so re-running an import never creates duplicate products.
5. Import
Click Import and your products are added to your catalogue.
