CSV Import + Export

Frequently asked questions

What fields are included in exports?

Titles, descriptions, prices, tags, details, SKUs, inventory, variations, and photo/video URLs. Optional fields for Etsy listings are not included as they cannot be imported via CSV at this time, but they can be edited in bulk once the imports are complete.

Can I create new listings with CSV?

Yes. Download a CSV template for new listings by clicking "Import" from the main dashboard. In an exported CSV of existing listings, add a new row for each listing you'd like to add. Leave the Listing ID column blank, and Vela will treat the row as a new listing. See the video on CSV Import and Export for details on adding listings with variations via CSV.

Can I schedule CSV imports?

You can schedule imported updates or new listings to publish at a specific date and time.

Can I keep editing while an import runs?

Yes. Imports run in the background, so you can navigate, edit, or even close Vela. The import continues until complete.

What happens if my CSV has errors?

Vela highlights missing or incorrect fields in red. Fix them in Bulk Edit or directly in the listing editor before publishing.

What happens if I delete a photo link in the CSV?

That photo will be removed from the listing when re-imported.

Can I use my own CSV format?

Yes, but you’ll need to map your columns in the Wizard. Starting with a Vela export or blank template is recommended.
