Fillhand
Guide
Add products to a shop admin from a CSV — even without a bulk import
Many marketplaces and older shop admins only let you add products one by one. Record adding one product, then let Fillhand do the rest of the list.
What you need: Chrome, the free Fillhand extension and your product list (name, price, SKU, stock, category…). No account, no code. Your data never leaves your computer.
Step by step
- Install Fillhand and pin it. Click the toolbar icon to open the side panel.
- Open the “Add product” page in a tab. In the panel, choose Record new and fill the form once by hand, exactly as you normally would — type, pick from dropdowns, tick boxes, click Save.
- Click Stop. Each action is now a step you can read and edit.
- Go to Data and import your CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file. The first row should hold the column names.
- Open the macro, set Data source to your file, and replace each typed value with a placeholder: click the value, then
{{row.Email}},{{row.Company}}… (the panel lists your columns). - For rich-text descriptions just record typing into the editor — Fillhand enters text into rich editors properly.
- Press Run. Fillhand repeats the macro once per row and shows ✓ or ✗ for each one.
- If a row fails, the panel shows which step and why. Fix it and press Run failed and remaining rows — rows already done are not entered twice.
- Export the results as CSV (with a status column) if you need a record of what was entered.
Tips that save a rerun
- Start the macro with a Go to page step pointing at “Add product”, so every row starts clean.
- Category pickers that search as you type are recorded as key-by-key typing automatically.
- Photo uploads can't be automated by any extension (browser rule) — add photos afterwards, or upload by URL if the admin supports it.
- Use Read value to capture the new product ID into the results file.
