Add resources in bulk

Bulk upload documents and PDFs to your ResourceHub library on Shopify: drag and drop up to 1,000 files at a time, 50 MB each, or import resources already hosted elsewhere with a CSV.
Where are the resources you want to add in bulk?

Upload files from your computer

1

Upload all your files

Drag and drop your files into ResourceHub. If the same details apply to all of them, add them during upload. If each file needs different details, just upload and save them, then continue to Step 2.

Add different details to each file

Once your files are uploaded, choose the fastest way to update them.

  • Update with CSV — best for larger or more detailed updates, including Resource Type, descriptions, products, custom fields, and SEO.
  • Update from your Resources list — best for quicker changes using Actions or Bulk edit, including title, status, Featured, tags, or categories.

Import resources with a CSV

Bring your hosted resources into ResourceHub

If your resources are already hosted somewhere else, you can bring hundreds of them into ResourceHub at once instead of adding them one by one.

You do this with a CSV, which is a spreadsheet file. Each row represents one resource and can include its public URL, title, categories, product connections, and other details.

You can import:

  • Files, videos, and links.
  • Titles, status, Resource Types, categories, and tags.
  • Product and SKU connections.
  • Descriptions, images, SEO information, and custom fields.
Video walkthrough
  1. From Resources, open Import/Export › Import / Bulk Update.
  2. On the Import / Bulk Updates page, click Download sample CSV.
  3. The Sample CSV Template opens. Review the available columns, then click Download.
  4. Delete the help row and example row before importing.
  5. Add one resource per row. For each new resource:
    Leave blank
    • resourcehub_id — ResourceHub assigns this after the resource is created.
    Required
    • title
    • status
    • link — the public URL
    • use_external_link — false = ResourceHub stores a copy of the file; true = ResourceHub links to it where it is
  6. Optional: Add any other details you need, such as format, language, Resource Type, product SKUs, categories, tags, descriptions, images, SEO fields, or custom fields.
  7. Upload the CSV, up to 10 MB, and click Import.
  8. Open Import Log under Resources › Import/Export to check the results.
