Bring your products into Talstok.
Moving to Talstok starts with what you sell. Paste in your products from a spreadsheet saved as CSV, or have a developer or an AI assistant bring a whole catalogue in through the API. Moving across from Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix and similar is coming.
Three ways to bring products in
Two work today. Moving a whole shop across from another platform is coming.
- Live today
From paper or a spreadsheet
Paste in a spreadsheet of up to 2,000 new products, and every row is checked and shown to you before anything is saved. It uses its own column headings and brings in products only, without photos.
The four steps - Live today
From another system, through the API
A developer or an AI assistant can bring a whole catalogue in from a file, photos included, once your old system’s export is put in the right shape.
How it works From Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix and similar Coming
Bring your shop or website across with its products, photos, customers and pages.
What it brings
From paper or a spreadsheet
Still on paper? Type your list into a spreadsheet first, or add products one at a time on the Products screen. Bringing in a spreadsheet takes four steps.
Lay out the spreadsheet
One row for each variant, with columns headed handle, title, variant and price. Add sku (the stock code) and stock columns too, or fill those in on each product later. The handle is the product’s web address, such as enamel-mug.
Paste it in
Save the spreadsheet as a CSV file, open it in a text editor, and paste its text into Import, on the Products screen. An owner or a manager can import.
Check the file
Every row is shown with a verdict before anything is saved. A row that cannot be taken says why, such as a missing price.
Add the products
They arrive as drafts, with their prices. To publish one, give it a tax rate, and give each variant a stock code and a stock count. Its page lists anything still missing.
What the import reads, and its limits
- Besides handle, title, variant and price, it reads sku (the stock code), stock, description, category and barcode, and ignores any other column. An export from another system needs reshaping to fit before it loads.
- It adds new products only. A row whose handle your shop already uses is refused, never written over.
- It takes up to 2,000 rows at a time. Split a bigger file into parts.
- It brings in products only. Add photos on each product’s page or through the API, once your shop has its web address. Customers and past orders cannot be brought in today.
From another system, through the API
For a large catalogue, or one with photos. A developer or an AI assistant describes your products in one file, and the API and its MCP server bring them in.
Checked as a plan first
Through the MCP server, the file is compared with your shop and every change can be listed before anything is applied. Nothing is ever deleted, and stock counts change only when you ask.
Photos included
Photos go in one at a time, up to 5 MB each, as JPEG, PNG, WebP or GIF, once your shop has its web address.
Safe to run again
If the connection drops part way, running it again finishes the job and repeats nothing.
A key with a role
The owner makes a key in Settings and gives it a role. Adding products and prices needs a manager key.
Your old system’s export has to be put into this shape first. There is no ready-made converter.
From Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix and similar Coming
Bring your shop or website across with its products, photos, customers and pages.
Until then, another system’s export needs reshaping first: give it the import’s column headings, put the product’s title on every row, and remove rows that only hold a photo. Then paste it in, or have a developer or an AI assistant bring it in through the API with its photos. Customers and pages cannot be brought in today.
Where your products land
In the bases that hold products. An AI assistant, a developer or a person can help bring them in.
Questions about moving across
How do I bring my products into Talstok?

I keep everything on paper. Where do I start?
Type your list into a spreadsheet with the import’s column headings, one row for each variant. Save it as a CSV file and paste its text into Import, on the Products screen, or add products there one at a time. Either way, each one waits as a draft until you publish it.
Can I move from Shopify, WooCommerce or Wix today?
Not in one step. Another system’s export needs reshaping first: give it the import’s column headings, put the product’s title on every row, and remove rows that only hold a photo.
A developer or an AI assistant can do that and bring the products in through the API, with their photos.
Moving across from Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Wix and similar is coming.
Does the import change products I already have?
No. It only adds new products: a row whose handle your shop already uses is refused, never written over.
To change many products at once, a developer or an AI assistant can compare a whole catalogue file with your shop through the MCP server and apply the differences. It never deletes anything.
Can I bring in photos, customers or past orders?
Photos, yes: through the API, or up to twenty at a time on each product’s page, once your shop has its web address. Customers and past orders cannot be brought in today.

Can I bring in what I pay when I buy from the public?
Yes. Buying in loads your buy prices, by item and grade, from a spreadsheet, and its screen offers a template to download.
Can someone help me move?
Write to contact@talstok.com with what you are moving from, and a person answers.
See it with your own products
Paste your products into a test shop first and see how they land. Test shops are free. Nothing in a test shop is real: no money moves, and it never emails a customer.
