Before Uploading Your File And Importing

Please follow the steps below for the best result when importing your catalog items.

  1. Learn shopVOX's Data Structure
    Download and use our sample file to learn exactly how we organize data in shopVOX. You don't have to use our sample file, but it's a great starting point if you're having trouble on your own.
  2. Clean Up Your List
    It's a good idea to clean up your catalog before importing into a new system. It's much easier to make any changes in bulk before you've imported your list.
  3. Do a Test Run
    Before importing your entire catalog, create a test file with about 5 items.
    After importing the test file, take a few minutes to look at each item's details to make sure everything was mapped correctly. Testing first will help prevent hours of manually updating each customer later.

Ask Your Vendor

If you don’t want to deal with CSV files, try asking your vendor to provide you with one. Click "Ask Your Vendor", and an email will pop up.

Our email template is all ready for you. Just review the email and send. Easy!

We included our sample CSV for your vendor to refer to.

File Upload

When you're ready to import, upload your file below. Currently, we only support CSV files.

Adding Markups and Discounts to a Catalog

Markups

Markups are required. Markups are applied to the cost of the blank garment from your vendor. If a garment costs you $2.00 and your markup is 100%, the selling price for the blank garment would be $2.00 + (100% * $2.00) = $4.00.

You've got the option to apply markups based on the quantity of the garments sold or based on the cost of the garment from your vendor. Adjust the Price By field under the Edit Catalog Settings button above to control this. Applying markups based on cost allows you to charge different markups for different types of blanks like shirts vs hoodies.

Discounts

Discounts are optional. Add a discount when you want to reduce the apparel price for a customer buying larger quantities of garments. Discounts are applied after the Markup. Any discounts added to the table will only apply to the blank apparel. Blank apparel is just one part of the finished garment price so don't forget to adjust your decoration pricing on each Product.
