Important: This operation will affect your store listings and cannot be undone. Please ensure your uploaded files are accurate before proceeding.
Bulk operation features are located in the Gelato dashboard under the Stores tab on your store page, and this feature is called Create Products from Template
This feature is perfect for merchants who:
Need to create multiple products with consistent attributes.
Want to streamline their product creation workflow.
Require bulk product generation capabilities.
Prefer working with template-based systems.
For example, if you have a template T-shirt with 4 variants (e.g., different sizes or colors), you can use this feature to create multiple new T-shirt products that replicate the same 4 variants automatically.
Follow the steps below to complete the process:
1. Prepare Your Template Product
Select a template product in your store to use as a base. This product will serve as the reference for creating new products.
Make sure your template product has the correct design placement and options (e.g., pricing, mockups, etc.) since these settings will be applied to all the new products created from this template.
