How do I import many products at once from a zip or folder?

2 min read · Updated

Import is the fastest way to add a whole catalogue.

1. Prepare your files

  • Make one folder per product.
  • Name each folder with the product's SKU, for example RG-1042. The folder name becomes both the SKU and the product name.
  • Put that product's photos inside (up to 20). Photos are sorted by file name, so name your best photo first (for example 01.jpg).
  • If a photo has the same name as its folder, Orolens treats it as the design render.
  • You can zip all the folders together, or keep them as one parent folder.

2. Import

  1. Go to Products and click Import.
  2. Click Choose zip or Choose folder (or drop the zip or folder on the window).
  3. Check the preview:
    • Add to group: a new group (named after the zip) or one you already have.
    • Product type: optional, but setting it here saves time.
    • SKUs that already exist are marked Skip. You can choose Add photos instead to add the new photos to the existing product.
  4. Click Import N products.

While it runs: keep the tab open. If it closes, import the same zip again. Products that already finished are skipped.

When it ends: click Retry on any failed rows, then Open group to see your products.
