Shopify sample data

This folder includes sample products that you can use with your development store.

Using this data

1. Create your development store

   Follow the instructions on the Shopify site to create a new development store.

2. Import the products

   In your development store, navigate to "Products", and then click "Import" in the top right of the page. Choose the sample products.csv file, then click "Upload and continue". For a files with small number of products, such as products.csv in this folder, the import process should just take a few moments. However if you are using a larger dataset, such as the 30000 SKU file, then it may take several hours to import. You can safely close the window or navigate away, and you will be notified via email when the import is complete.

More data

If you need to test your site at scale, there is another dataset available with 30,000 SKUs. Bear in mind that it takes several hours to import into a development site, and a cold build of the Gatbsy site will take over 10 minutes. Generally we would recommend doing your development with a site that has around 100-500 SKUs.

Creating your own sample data

The script to generate the sample data is available on GitHub, and you can use it to generate any number of products.
