Import multiple files to Shopify in one batch from a file of URLs

Import urls from json file to Shopify excelify excel csv xlsx

With the Matrixify you can use JSON files to create batch import with multiple files.
This can be useful for developers that have a list of URLs to import to Shopify.

Important Note: Creating a batch import from multiple files is only available for Matrixify Big or Enterprise plan users.

How to construct your JSON file with file links

The JSON file needs to be in the following simple structure:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "uri": "https://domain.com/path/to/file.csv"
    },
    {
      "uri": "https://domain.com/path/to/file.xlsx"
    },
    {
      "uri": "sftp://username:[email protected]:port/path-to/file.xlsx"
    }
  ]
}

The link can be any URL that Matrixify supports. See the full list in Matrixify Import from URL tutorial.

When importing such file, the app will create a “child” job for each file URL in the JSON file.

You can track all your file import progress right from this Batch job or you can click on each individual child job to see more details about it.

Good to know!

  • Read more about how batch import works.
  • The JSON file cannot contain the import data itself, it just points to URLs that return Matrixify template files.
  • In Matrixify app Settings, you can set to receive notification emails about specific job statuses. Decide – in which cases you want to receive an e-mail, and when not, to not overload your mailbox.
