Stuv AI gives a business a team of self-evolving AI agents — Listing, Content, Marketing, Insights, Engagement and Inbox & Sales, plus 15+ named specialists under a supervisor — that produce and publish listings, write copy, build campaign creative, analyse Meta/Google Ads and Shopify performance, power immersive shopping experiences, and answer and close customer conversations 24/7. Every agent shares one Organization Knowledge Brain, so output is specific to the brand and compounds with every order, ad result, chat and correction. It is sold as a credit subscription from ₹9,900/month, and has generated 200,000+ assets for 200+ brands.

How does Stuv AI preserve product identity in generated images?

Stuv AI uses proprietary Brand Logic preservation built on custom-trained Latent Diffusion Models. Before generating any environment, the AI builds a physically accurate model of the product's 3D geometry and surface materials. Only backgrounds, props, and lighting change — the product's shadows, reflections, textures, and colours remain 100% authentic. Brand Logic accuracy is rated at 99.2%.

How fast is Stuv AI for bulk catalog processing?

Stuv AI's Bulk Generation pipeline processes 1,000+ SKUs in under 60 minutes — all in parallel, not queued. Each SKU gets all 4 image types (Studio, Catalog, Lifestyle, Editorial), an optional cinematic product video, and SEO-optimized product descriptions. This is 50x faster than manual photography and retouching workflows. Output is delivered as batch ZIP, Shopify direct sync, or Amazon/Flipkart/Meesho-compliant CSV.

How does Stuv AI Virtual Try-On work?

Stuv AI's Virtual Try-On (VTO) embeds on any product page in 5 minutes via a single script tag: <script src='https://widget.stuv.ai/vto.js' data-brand-id='YOUR_BRAND_ID'></script>. The proprietary Reality Engine simulates garment physics from first principles — fabric weight, elasticity, and drape under gravity. Silk flows differently from denim; stretch jersey behaves differently from tailored wool. Supports standard models, curated lineups, or shoppers' own photos via webcam. Reduces return rates up to 40% and increases add-to-cart conversion 25–35%.

How does Stuv AI See In Your Room work for furniture brands?

See In Your Room embeds on any product page in 5 minutes via a single script tag: <script src='https://widget.stuv.ai/room.js' data-brand-id='YOUR_BRAND_ID'></script>. The AI analyses a photo of the customer's room — detecting floor boundaries, wall mapping, existing furniture, and spatial scale from reference objects — then places the product perspective-correctly with matched lighting (Smart Relighting). Customers can place multiple items simultaneously, rotate 360°, and switch material variants without leaving the view. Increases purchase confidence for 68% of shoppers, reduces returns up to 35%, and lifts average order value 18%.

Shopify gives merchants three built-in ways to change many products: the product CSV import, the bulk editor in the admin, and apps that use the Admin API. Each is right for different jobs. This guide focuses on the CSV — the most powerful option and the easiest to get wrong — and then covers when an API-based tool is the better choice.

Choosing the right method

Job	Best method	Why
Change prices, inventory, tags on selected products	Admin bulk editor	Spreadsheet-like editing in the admin; no file handling
Create a new collection of products with variants	CSV import	One file creates products, options, variants and images
Rewrite descriptions for hundreds of products	CSV import or API tool	Body (HTML) is editable in CSV; an API tool avoids re-exporting
Add new images to existing products and map them to variants	API tool	CSV image handling is URL-based and easy to break
Ongoing sync from another catalog system	API tool	CSV is a one-off; syncing needs repeatable automation

How the Shopify product CSV is structured

Always start by exporting a few existing products and using that file as your template — Shopify’s columns change over time, and the export always reflects the current format.

Column	What it does	Watch out for
Handle	The product’s unique identifier and URL slug. Rows with the same handle belong to the same product.	A typo creates a new, duplicate product.
Title	Product name	Only on the first row of each product.
Body (HTML)	Description, as HTML	Unescaped quotes or line breaks can break the row in some spreadsheet apps.
Vendor, Type, Tags	Organisation and filtering	Tags are comma-separated inside the cell.
Published / Status	Visibility	Import as draft first when testing.
Option1 Name / Option1 Value (to Option3)	Variant options such as Colour, Size	Option names only on the first row; values on every variant row.
Variant SKU, Variant Price, Variant Compare-at Price	Per-variant data	Prices without currency symbols.
Variant Inventory Qty / Tracker / Policy	Stock	Inventory import behaviour depends on location setup.
Image Src	Adds an image to the product gallery	Must be a public http(s) URL Shopify can download.
Image Position, Image Alt Text	Gallery order and accessibility/SEO text	Position 1 is the featured image.
Variant Image	The image shown when that variant is selected	The URL must also appear in the product’s Image Src list.

Worked example: a sofa in three colours

Each variant is a row; extra gallery images are extra rows with only the handle and image columns filled.

Handle	Title	Option1 Name	Option1 Value	Variant SKU	Variant Price	Image Src	Image Position	Variant Image
aria-3-seater-sofa	Aria 3-Seater Sofa	Colour	Beige	ARIA-3S-BG	42999	https://…/aria-beige-front.jpg	1	https://…/aria-beige-front.jpg
aria-3-seater-sofa			Grey	ARIA-3S-GR	42999	https://…/aria-grey-front.jpg	2	https://…/aria-grey-front.jpg
aria-3-seater-sofa			Teal	ARIA-3S-TL	44999	https://…/aria-teal-front.jpg	3	https://…/aria-teal-front.jpg
aria-3-seater-sofa						https://…/aria-beige-room.jpg	4

Limits and rules to know

File size: a product CSV can’t exceed 15 MB. Split larger catalogs into several files.
Encoding: save as UTF-8, or rupee symbols, accented names and Hindi text can corrupt.
Overwrite option: when importing, Shopify can overwrite products with matching handles. Blank cells in an overwrite import can clear existing values — export first, edit that file, and keep a backup.
Images by URL only: CSV import can’t upload image files directly. Host them somewhere public (or upload to Content → Files and copy the URLs) first.

Common import errors and fixes

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
Duplicate products after import	Handles changed or contain spaces/uppercase inconsistencies	Match handles exactly to the export
Images missing	Image URLs not public, redirected, or blocked	Open each URL in a private browser window; use direct links
Variant shows wrong photo	Variant Image URL not in the product’s Image Src rows	Add the URL to Image Src as well
Descriptions cut off or rows shifted	Line breaks or quotes broke the CSV structure	Edit in Google Sheets and export as CSV; avoid Excel auto-formatting
Upload times out	File too large or too many images to fetch	Split into smaller files

Variant images that help customers choose

Drive images from the option shoppers compare visually — usually colour or finish, not size
Use the same angle as the first image for every colour so switching feels consistent
Write alt text with product, colour and view: “Aria 3-seater sofa in teal, front view”
Add at least one in-context image per product; room or lifestyle images help shoppers judge scale

A safe bulk-update routine

Export all products as a backup and store it with the date.
Export the products you intend to change and edit that file.
Import 5–10 products first, as drafts if they are new.
Check them on the storefront on mobile: gallery order, variant switching, description formatting.
Import the rest in files well under 15 MB.
Spot-check a random sample after import.

When to use an API-based tool instead

CSV works for one-off imports. It becomes painful when content changes continuously — new AI-generated images every week, refreshed descriptions, seasonal image swaps — because every change means exporting, editing and re-importing. Tools built on the Shopify Admin API can push images and descriptions directly to products and variants and sync new products back.

Stuv’s Shopify Bulk Ops works this way: it connects through Shopify OAuth, pushes images, videos and descriptions from your Stuv catalog to matching products and variants, imports products and manages collections in bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the file size limit for Shopify product CSV imports?

A product CSV can’t exceed 15 MB. Split larger catalogs into multiple files.

How do I add images to Shopify variants with a CSV?

Put the image URL in the Variant Image column on the variant’s row, and make sure the same URL also appears in the product’s Image Src rows. URLs must be publicly accessible.

Why did my Shopify CSV import create duplicate products?

Usually because handles didn’t match existing products exactly. Export existing products and edit that file so handles stay identical.
