How to update prices

Updating prices with Import

Updated this week

Overview

With Elovate, you can quickly update prices for existing products by uploading a file with the updated values.

This is useful for bulk price changes, seasonal discounts, or synchronising supplier pricing.


Steps to update prices

1. Go to the import module

  • Navigate to Data → Import in Elovate.

  • Select an existing import job for price updates, or create a new one.


2. Prepare your file

Include the following minimum required columns:

  • sku → The product’s unique SKU in Magento.

  • price → The updated product price.

Example:

SKU

Price

SKU-001

99.95

SKU-002

149.00

SKU-003

79.50


3. Upload and map fields

  • Upload the file (CSV, Excel, or Google Sheet).

  • In the mapping step, match your file’s price column to Magento’s Price attribute.

  • Make sure Update empty is disabled for price to avoid overwriting prices with blanks.


4. Validate the import

  • Click Validate to check for errors.

  • Fix any issues before proceeding.


5. Run the import

  • Start the import job to update the prices in Magento.

  • Once the job status is Done, prices will be updated in Magento (check in the Magento admin to confirm changes).


Tips & best practices

  • Always test with a small file first to confirm mapping and pricing updates.

  • If you want to increase or decrease prices by a percentage automatically, consider using Master rules instead of manually editing the file.

  • Avoid mixing price updates with unrelated attribute updates in the same job — this keeps imports clean and easier to revert if needed.
