There are three ways to import products in bulk into RPG Trader:

- CSV upload
- From your existing [DriveThruRPG](https://www.drivethrurpg.com/) library
- From your existing [Itch](https://itch.io/) library

All imported products are saved as drafts. When importing products, you can select to update existing ones - this will match against your product titles in any status and update any fields included in the import.

## Open bulk import

- Go to **Dashboard** then **Products**.
- Click **Bulk import**.

## CSV import

 ![Bulk import: CSV](https://support.rpgtrader.com/uploads/default/original/1X/7dfe80847bc97ca030272bd589ef785716d47215.jpeg)

### Prepare your CSV

Prepare a CSV of your products to upload. The only required field for each row is the product title. You can use a spreadsheet app and export as CSV, or build the file in a text editor.

Include a header row with the field titles, including any fields you want. If a field contains comma-separated values, wrap the whole field in double quotes (i.e.`"…”`):

- `title`_(required)_
- `subtitle`
- `description`
- `primary_image`
- `other_images`_(comma-separated image URLs for the gallery)_
- `files`_(comma-separated file URLs)_
- `tier1name`
- `tier1value`
- `tier2name`
- `tier2value`
- `tier3name`
- `tier3value`
- `tier4name`
- `tier4value`
- `tier5name`
- `tier5value`
- `tier6name`
- `tier6value`
- `category`
- `language`
- `genre`
- `tone`
- `playstyle`
- `setting`
- `system`
- `audience_content`
- `play_requirements`
- `page_format`
- `art_asset_type`
- `tags`

Images and files must be public URLs - they will be downloaded to RPG Trader and attached to your products.

Taxonomy items must match those available on the site. The system will attempt to match terms in the `category` field as closely as possible if they are different. Term-matching in all taxonomy fields is case-insensitive.

For each tier number, provide **both** `tierNname` and `tierNvalue`, or leave **both** empty for that tier. You can connect files and books to tiers after bulk upload.

### Start the import

- Drag a `.csv` file onto the drop zone, or click to pick a file.
- Or paste CSV text into the text area.
- Click **Start import**.

## Import from DriveThruRPG

DriveThruRPG imports use the public RSS feed made available by the platform. As a result, there is limited data available for importing, but it will help you get started with your RPG catalogue much more quickly.

The only fields available for import from DriveThruRPG are:

- Product title
- Product description
- Cost of one price tier

You can edit these fields and all the rest of your product data after import.
