Import products from Excel or Instagram fast
Typing 100 products by hand is the #1 reason merchants give up during setup. Three import paths:
Do it on numu, step by step
Excel / CSV: the classic. Download a template, fill in rows, upload. Best for merchants with a supplier price list already in spreadsheet form. Column order matters — use the template don't invent your own.
Instagram / Facebook: connect your account, pick the posts you want — or paste up to 20 post links — and each one becomes a draft product with its photo and a name taken from the caption's first line. Check names and prices before you publish.
Moving from Shopify or Salla: export your products, then copy names and prices into numu's template — the importer reads its own columns, not another platform's export file.
After import, audit the first 10 products. Fix categories + pricing there, then batch-apply the fixes to the remaining 90.
