# Bulk Product Import: Overview

The Bulk Product Import tool allows you to create multiple products in your Rev.io catalog at once by uploading a CSV or Excel file. This is useful when adding a large number of new products and eliminates the need to create them one at a time. The Bulk Product Import tool is accessible from **Admin > Bulk Tools > Bulk Product Import**.

The import process runs through four steps: *Upload File*, *Validate*, *Review*, and *Results*.

### Step 1: Upload File

In the *Upload File* step, prepare and upload your product file. You can either download a pre-formatted template and fill it out, or upload your own file as long as it includes the required columns.

-   Download a pre-formatted template by clicking the **CSV Template** or **Excel Template** button. The template includes all required product fields.
-   Upload your completed file by clicking the **Choose File to Upload** button. Accepted formats are .csv, .xlsx, and .xls with a maximum file size of 10MB.

Your file must include the following required columns. All other fields are optional but will help create more complete product records.

-   **Product\_Name:** Unique name for each product.
-   **Product\_Type:** Product type, such as Service or Equipment.
-   **List\_Price:** List price or billing rate. Defaults to 0 if not provided.
-   **Standard\_Cost:** Standard cost of the product. Defaults to 0 if not provided.

### Step 2: Validate

In the *Validate* step, Rev.io checks your file for errors and confirms that all required fields are present and correctly formatted before the import runs.

### Step 3: Review

In the *Review* step, you can review the records that will be created before committing to the import.

### Step 4: Results

The *Results* step displays the outcome of the import, including the number of records successfully created and any records that failed. See the [Bulk Operation History: Overview](https://help.psarev.io/en/article/bulk-operation-history-overview) article for more information on reviewing past import results.
