[Organizing Production - GCW] Production pricing — Bulk import and export

Written by Juliana Maciel Maruri da Cunha

What this is

The bulk pricing import and export feature lets you work with pricing data in CSV or Excel format instead of entering prices one by one in the UI. Export your current pricing to modify it offline, then re-import the changes. For products with hundreds or thousands of price points — like menu boards with multiple formats, colours, and coatings — this is the only practical way to configure pricing at scale.


Who this is for

  • Partner Management team members setting up or updating pricing for customers with complex product assortments

  • Anyone managing pricing for products where manual entry would be prohibitively time-consuming (high-variant product lines)


Before you start

  • You need permission to edit pricing for the customer

  • For import: a CSV or Excel file with pricing data, typically an export from a previous configuration or a customer-provided pricing sheet

  • For export: navigate to the customer's pricing configuration page


How to export pricing

  1. Navigate to the customer's pricing configuration page

  2. Click Export CSV

  3. The system generates a file in CSV format that includes all current prices and attribute mappings

  4. Save the file to your computer

Use the exported file as a starting point for bulk updates: open it in Excel, modify the prices, and re-import.


How to import pricing

  1. Navigate to the customer's pricing configuration page

  2. Click Import CSV

  3. Select your file — it will be validated for format and encoding

  4. Review the import preview in the UI — the system shows which prices will be added or updated

  5. Confirm the import — prices are applied immediately to the configuration

  6. After import, review the updated prices in the editing page to confirm they match your expectations


File format

The import and export both use the same CSV format — column names, order, and structure are identical. This means:

  • You can export pricing, edit it in Excel, and re-import it directly

  • UTF-8 character encoding (not ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252)

  • Standard CSV syntax compatible with Excel and Google Sheets

Tip. If you have pricing configured already and want to make a bulk update, export the existing pricing first, modify it in Excel, and re-import. This is faster and safer than manual editing for large configurations.


Performance and limits

  • Exports complete instantly, regardless of size

  • Imports of 1,000+ rows complete in less than 10 seconds

  • UTF-8 encoding is required — if your file uses a different encoding, convert it first


Error handling

If the import encounters invalid data or format issues, the system will report which rows failed and why. No prices are applied until all rows validate successfully.


Common questions

Can I export just some of my products, or is it all-or-nothing?

Export covers all pricing in the current configuration. To work with a subset, you can manually delete rows from the exported file before re-importing.

Does my exported file include tiered pricing?

Yes — tiered quantity breaks and their corresponding prices are included in the export.

What if my file uses a different encoding?

The import requires UTF-8. If your file uses a different encoding (ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252, etc.), open it in Excel or a text editor, save it as UTF-8, and try again. This is the most common cause of import failures.
