Add Products to the Product Catalog

Add products to the product catalog that's connected to your GoDaddy smart terminal and GoDaddy Commerce app. Then, use the products to easily build orders and process transactions on the smart terminal or in the Commerce app.

You can add products to your Online Store (via .CSV file), add them through the Dashboard in your web browser (individually or in bulk), or add them manually on the smart terminal or Commerce app. We recommend importing or adding them through the web browser – it’ll be a lot quicker, especially if you've got a lot of products. 

Import to Online Store 

When setting up a Managed WooCommerce Store, you can create a .CSV file to import your store product list to minimize setup work. For help with this process, check out our info on importing products into WooCommerce.

Any product updates you make in your WooCommerce store automatically carry over to your product catalog, and vice versa. A separate import process isn’t required

Web browser 

Add products directly through the web browser, either in a batch with the bulk upload tool or individually.

If you have a Managed WooCommerce store, you can create a CSV file with all of your products directly from within your store, then bulk upload them into your product catalog.

Bulk upload your products

1. Log into the portal and select Catalog from the left-nav.
2. Under Products, select More, and then select Import Products from CSV.
   
3. To create a .csv file, select Download under Get a Starter Template. Fill out the fields for each product and save the file.
   • The template includes columns for all product details, including categories and product modifiers and variants to help organize and customize your products.
4. In the Catalog dashboard, select Browse files and then double-click your .csv file. The system will run a quick scan and let you know if anything in the file needs to be adjusted.
5. When the scan is complete, select Start Import to add the products to your catalog. (Depending on the amount of products you have, this can take a while to complete.)
6. Optional: To manually create categories where you can bundle similar items together (for example, Shirts or Dresses), select Categories from your product catalog. Select Create Category and fill out the details, then apply categories from within the individual product listings.
7. Product updates will automatically appear on your smart terminal. If you don’t see your catalog changes, open the Register app, tap the menu on the upper left-hand side next to Sale, then tap Refresh Register.)
