# Create products in bulk

> Use a spreadsheet and images to create many products in one batch.

When you need to add many products at once, use the bulk creator. You upload a
spreadsheet and a folder of images, review each product, then create them all
together.

<Warning>
  Bulk creation writes new products to Shopify. Review every product in the
  review step before you create the batch.
</Warning>

## Bulk create flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the template">
    Download the spreadsheet template. It is already set up with your store's
    vendors, product types, and a column for each inventory location.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in your products">
    Add a row for each product and variant. Include details such as title,
    description, vendor, type, tags, options and values, price, SKU, inventory,
    and the image filename for each product.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the file and images">
    Upload the completed spreadsheet together with a folder of the images you
    referenced.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fix any warnings">
    Atlios checks the file and lists any warnings, such as a duplicate SKU.
    Resolve them before you continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review each product">
    Each product appears as a card you can expand and edit. Check the details,
    options, variants, and inventory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Match images">
    Drag any unmatched images onto the right product to set its images.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the products">
    Create the batch. Atlios shows the progress and reports success or an error
    for each product.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The spreadsheet

The template includes a column for each thing Atlios needs, including product
handle, title, description, vendor, product type, tags, image filename, option
names and values, price, compare-at price, cost, SKU, barcode, weight, and one
inventory column per active location.

<Tip>
  Keep image filenames in the spreadsheet exactly the same as the files you
  upload so Atlios can match them automatically.
</Tip>

## Generate a description

While reviewing a product, you can ask Atlios to **generate a description** from
the product's title and images. This is optional and runs only when you choose
it. Review the generated text before you create the product.

<Note>
  Generating a description uses credits. See [Billing and
  credits](/product/billing-and-credits).
