Bulk Imports¶
Bulk import lets you add or update many records at once by uploading CSV or Excel files. All imports are available from Settings → Import Data at airshop.work/import.
Recommended Import Order¶
When importing data for the first time, follow this order so records link correctly:
- Organizations — Import customer organizations (companies) first
- Customers — Import people and link them to organizations by name
- Inventory — Import products, SKUs, and stock levels
Import Types¶

Import customer organizations (companies you do business with) with name, website, address, and more.
- Template:
airshop-organizations-import-template.csv - Required: Organization Name
- Access: Import Data → Import Organizations, or Organizations → Import
