How to Bulk Import Products into GoHighLevel

When you are migrating from platforms like ClickUp or spreadsheets into GoHighLevel, importing each product one by one can be slow and error-prone. This step-by-step guide explains how to use the built-in CSV importer in GoHighLevel to upload many products at once, including key field requirements, mapping, and common error fixes.

The process is straightforward if you prepare your CSV correctly and follow the required column structure. Below you will learn exactly how to format your data, run the bulk product import, and verify that everything is created properly in your account.

Before You Start: GoHighLevel Product Import Basics

Bulk importing products into GoHighLevel relies on a CSV file that matches specific column names and formats. Using the wrong headers, leaving required fields blank, or formatting numbers incorrectly will cause the import to fail.

At a high level, the import process in GoHighLevel involves:

  • Preparing a properly formatted CSV file.
  • Uploading the file inside the product management area.
  • Mapping CSV columns to product fields.
  • Reviewing and confirming the import.

If you are unsure about any step, you can compare your CSV with the examples provided on the original help article from HighLevel here: How to bulk import products into HighLevel.

Required CSV Structure for GoHighLevel Product Imports

The CSV template is the backbone of the GoHighLevel product import. Each row represents one product, and each column maps to a specific product field. The platform expects particular headers in order to recognize your data correctly.

Core Product Fields in GoHighLevel

Your CSV should contain, at minimum, the key product information fields. While the exact fields may vary depending on your setup, the standard structure generally includes:

  • Name – The product name as it will appear in GoHighLevel.
  • Description – A clear description of what the product or service is.
  • Price – The main price value, formatted as a number without currency symbols.
  • Currency – The currency code (for example, USD, EUR) if supported by your configuration.
  • Billing Type – Whether the product is one-time or recurring, based on allowed values.
  • Billing Frequency – If recurring, how often the billing occurs (for example, monthly, yearly).
  • SKU or Product ID – Optional identifier that helps you track products across systems.

Make sure your CSV file is saved using UTF-8 encoding and separated by commas. Avoid additional line breaks, merged cells, or non-standard characters that might confuse the GoHighLevel importer.

Formatting Rules for Numeric and Text Fields in GoHighLevel

Improper formatting is one of the main reasons why bulk imports fail. Adhering to these rules will help you avoid common issues:

  • Prices should be numbers only, such as 49.99 or 100.
  • No currency symbols (like $, €, £) directly in the price column.
  • Boolean or yes/no fields should follow the allowed values (for example, TRUE/FALSE or 1/0, depending on the template).
  • Dates, if used, should match the format defined in the system or the example template.

Always test your CSV by importing a small sample first to ensure GoHighLevel interprets your fields correctly.

Step-by-Step: Bulk Import Products into GoHighLevel

Once your CSV is prepared, you can start the product import process in your GoHighLevel account. Follow the steps below in order.

Step 1: Open the Products Area in GoHighLevel

  1. Log into your GoHighLevel account with appropriate permissions.
  2. Navigate to the section where products are managed (often under payments, products, or a similar menu depending on your interface version).
  3. Locate the option or button for bulk import or CSV import.

If you do not see the option, verify with your account administrator that you have access to edit and create products.

Step 2: Upload Your CSV File

  1. Click the Import or Upload CSV button inside the GoHighLevel products screen.
  2. Select your prepared CSV file from your computer.
  3. Confirm the upload and proceed to the mapping step when prompted.

Give the platform a moment to read the file. If there is a structural issue, GoHighLevel will usually alert you before you proceed further.

Step 3: Map CSV Columns to GoHighLevel Fields

  1. On the mapping screen, you will see each column in your CSV.
  2. For each column, choose the corresponding product field in GoHighLevel from the dropdown list.
  3. Verify that important fields such as Name, Price, and Billing Type are mapped correctly.
  4. Leave unmapped any optional columns you do not need.

Proper mapping ensures that data from your CSV goes into the correct product fields in GoHighLevel. If you are unsure which field to select, compare with the original documentation or use a test import first.

Step 4: Validate and Confirm the Import

  1. Review the summary of how many products are about to be imported.
  2. Check for any warnings or errors shown on the confirmation screen.
  3. If there are errors, cancel, correct your CSV, and re-upload.
  4. When everything looks correct, click the button to start the import.

Depending on how many rows are in your CSV, GoHighLevel may need some time to finish the process. Do not close your browser tab until the import is complete or the system indicates it is safe to leave.

Verifying Imported Products in GoHighLevel

After the import completes, always verify that your products in GoHighLevel match the original data in your CSV.

  • Open the products list and sort or filter by recently created items.
  • Spot-check a variety of products to confirm the name, price, and description.
  • Verify any recurring billing details, frequencies, or special fields.

If you see any inconsistencies, you can either edit the products directly inside GoHighLevel or adjust your CSV and run another import to correct the data.

Common Errors and Troubleshooting in GoHighLevel Imports

Even with careful preparation, you may encounter errors when importing products into GoHighLevel. Understanding the typical issues helps you fix them quickly.

Issue 1: File Rejected or Fails to Upload

If the CSV file is rejected immediately:

  • Confirm that the file is saved as .csv, not .xlsx or another format.
  • Open the file in a text editor to ensure it uses commas as separators.
  • Check for extra header rows or hidden rows that might break the structure.

Issue 2: Mapping Errors in GoHighLevel

When columns do not appear correctly in the mapping screen:

  • Verify that your first row is a single header line with clear column titles.
  • Remove any special characters from column names that might interfere with detection.
  • Compare your header names to the example template provided in the GoHighLevel help article.

Issue 3: Product Data Imported Incorrectly

If products appear but values are wrong:

  • Confirm that the Price column contains only numeric values.
  • Ensure decimals use a dot (.) and not a comma.
  • Review whether you accidentally mapped a column to the wrong GoHighLevel field.

In some cases, it may be faster to delete incorrectly imported products and re-run the import with a corrected CSV.

Best Practices for Managing Product Imports in GoHighLevel

To maintain accurate product data in GoHighLevel over time, consider these best practices:

  • Keep a master CSV that you update whenever products change, so you always have a clean source of truth.
  • Use test imports with a small subset of rows to validate formatting and mapping.
  • Document your field conventions, such as how you handle SKUs, billing frequencies, or naming patterns.
  • Schedule regular reviews of your product catalog to remove outdated items and ensure consistency.
