How to Use the Product Feed
Everything you need to get our catalogue into your own shop — and what you still need to do by hand.
Our feed file regenerates every hour. Re-download it, or set your importer to pull it, at least every 6 hours — hourly if your platform allows. Stock and prices change between pulls; whatever is in the current CSV is what applies when you order.
Step 1
Download your file
Pick the one that matches your shop. If you are not on Shopify or WooCommerce, use the general file and map the columns yourself.
For Shopify
Shopify import file
Ready for Shopify’s own CSV importer. Titles, descriptions, SKUs, barcodes and SEO fields all land in the right place.
For WooCommerce
WooCommerce import file
Built for WooCommerce’s built-in product importer. Column names match, so the mapping step is automatic.
Everything else
General catalogue file
Plain product data — title, description, price, SKU, EAN, category, brand, plus stock_quantity. Use it with any system. Its columns differ from the two files above — see the notes further down.
Step 2
Import it
Shopify
- Shopify admin → Products
- Click Import, then Add file
- Select the CSV you downloaded
- Click Upload and preview
- Check a couple of rows, then Import products
WooCommerce
- WordPress admin → Products
- Click Import at the top
- Choose the CSV you downloaded, then Continue
- Leave the column mapping as it is — the names already match
- Click Run the importer
Step 3
Add the images
None of the three files carry images or image links. You download them from our product pages and upload them to your own shop. This keeps the file small and fast, and means you only take the images for products you actually list.
- Find the product row in the CSV and open the address in the link column — that is the product page on maibo.uk.
- In the Shopify and WooCommerce files, check the image_count column so you know how many images the product has. The general file does not have this column.
- Right-click each gallery image and save it. Our pages serve full-resolution files, so what you save is the original.
- Upload them to the matching product in your shop.
Understanding the file
Three prices, and which one matters
Open the Shopify or WooCommerce file in Excel or Google Sheets and you will see three price-related columns. Only the first one is imported into your shop; the other two are there so you can see your margin. The general file is simpler: a single price column with our retail price, and no dropshipper_price or discount column — your trade discount comes off the prices on maibo.uk once you are logged in.
Our retail prices already sit below the usual UK market price, so there is normally room above them. Most partners set their own price higher than ours rather than matching it.
Treat stock as a snapshot, not a promise
The Shopify and WooCommerce files carry no stock quantities. The general file has a stock_quantity column, but it is only correct at the moment the file was generated — quantities change through the day, so a number in a file you downloaded this morning can be wrong by the afternoon. Check the live product page on maibo.uk before you commit to a large order, or message us.
