Importing Products in Impact Merch & TCS

This guide explains how to import products in Impact Merch and TCS. Both platforms follow the same import process. The import involves preparing a complete CSV file, uploading it through the importer, verifying product details, and setting up embroidery or DTG versions if applicable.

Step 1: Prepare the CSV File

Start by preparing the CSV file for import.
Make sure all product details are complete, including:

  • Product name, description, and price
  • Categories and images
  • A unique product ID for each item

Once everything is verified, save and download the file in CSV format.

Step 2: Import the CSV into Impact Merch

  1. Go to Impact Merch and open the Import section.
  2. Select WooCommerce Products as the import type.
  3. Upload the CSV file you prepared.
  4. The import may take some time depending on WordPress speed and file size.
  5. Once the upload completes, review the imported data to ensure everything appears correctly.

Step 3: Set Product Pricing and Shipping

After importing, double-check the product prices and shipping details.
In this example, the base price used is $21.99.
Confirm that the pricing and shipping rates are accurate and consistent across variations.
If needed, copy the correct price from the original product details.

Step 4: Create Embroidery Versions (If Needed)

If the imported product is set up for DTG (Direct-to-Garment) printing but you also need an embroidery version:

  1. Duplicate or create a new product post.
  2. Copy all details from the DTG version except for the decoration type.
  3. Update the product title to include “(Embroidery)” for clarity.
  4. Adjust the turnaround time from 1–3 days (DTG) to 7–10 days (Embroidery).
  5. Change the production type field to Embroidery.
  6. Publish the new product once all details are confirmed.

Step 5: Verify Product Details

After publishing, confirm the following:

  • The product’s secondary SKU matches the embroidery version.
  • The correct taxonomy is applied (e.g., Embroidery).
  • The product is set to draft if it requires admin review before going live.
  • All colors and price increments are working properly.
  • Product details such as decoration type and turnaround time are accurate.

Step 6: Set Up the Designer Tool

  1. Log in to the Designer Tool.
  2. Go to Products and locate the newly imported embroidery product.
  3. Ensure only the front side is enabled for embroidery.
  4. Adjust the print area to be centered on the chest area.
  5. Resize or reposition as needed to match the embroidery layout.
  6. Save the settings and test color variations to confirm they display correctly.

Step 7: Final Review

Once all adjustments are complete:

  • Review the final product setup.
  • Make sure the pricing, design area, and product variants are functioning as expected.
  • After verification, the product is ready for admin approval or to go live.

Summary:
Importing products in Impact Merch and TCS follows the same workflow prepare a complete CSV, import through WooCommerce, verify pricing, duplicate for embroidery if needed, and adjust design settings in the Designer Tool. Always double-check all fields, SKUs, and product variants before publishing.
