Step 1. Prepare your import file

Form a product data file in CSV format. To make the process easier, download the file example from Bitrix24.

1. Go to CRM > Inventory > Product catalog.

2. Click the gear button and select Product import.

3. Click Download next to the Import file example.

Here are some frequently asked questions about the product import file.

How to specify multiple field values?

If a product has several values in a multiple field, specify each value on a new line with the same ID.

How to import product images?

Specify a link to an image in the corresponding field. The URL must be direct and public (accessible from the outside). You can host the image on your server or a suitable image hosting service. Also, the link shouldn't contain any special symbols. For example, https://example.com/uploads/image.png.

Step 2. Import your file to Bitrix24

Once your file is ready, you can import it to Bitrix24.

1. Go to CRM > Inventory > Product catalog.



2. Click the gear button and select Product import.
