CSV Integration
Keep selling on your chosen platform and bring your products and orders into DSers for dropshipping fulfillment. CSV import gives stores without a native DSers integration a practical route to supplier mapping, order processing, and tracking exports—all through structured files you control.
CSV stands for comma-separated values: a file format that carries data in rows and columns. In DSers, it connects the product and order records from your selling platform to the supplier side of your business.
Your storefront remains where customers shop. DSers provides separate templates for your catalog and customer orders, giving that data a consistent structure for fulfillment. You prepare and upload the files, while DSers brings the records into its product and order management workflow.
The connection starts with products. Each imported SKU is linked to a supplier SKU, so subsequent order imports can use the matching product relationship. Once suppliers ship, tracking numbers can be exported in bulk for you to update orders on your selling platform.
Import your products into My Products and map your SKUs to the supplier variants you want to sell. Product IDs and SKUs give later order imports a consistent reference, connecting a customer's purchase with the item you intend to source. Each product SKU maps to one supplier SKU.
Upload customer orders using the order template and manage successfully imported records in Open Orders. Review addresses and shipping methods before submitting orders to suppliers. This gives spreadsheet-managed sales a place in your daily fulfillment work, with an opportunity to check the details before ordering.
CSV orders can be fulfilled through AliExpress, Alibaba, 1688, and the DSers Supplier Agent Network. Your selling platform and sourcing channel do not have to share a native connection. Set up the relevant supplier connection and mapping, then follow that channel's ordering and payment process.
Native integrations and CSV serve different store setups. A supported native integration exchanges data directly with DSers; CSV provides a file-based route when that connection is unavailable or your records are managed in spreadsheets.
CSV gives you control over when records enter DSers. It also makes file preparation and the return of tracking information part of your operating routine.
A missing direct connection need not mean moving your storefront. If you can prepare the required product and order information in DSers' templates, CSV gives those sales a route into supplier fulfillment.
Bring an established file-based process into DSers. Separate product and order templates make the handoff clearer: the catalog defines what you sell, while each order file supplies the purchase and delivery details for fulfillment.
Prepare a group of orders in one file and bring them into Open Orders together. This is useful when sales arrive as an export or an accumulated spreadsheet, while keeping review and supplier submission within DSers.
Create your DSers account, select CSV File on the platform selection page, and complete plan selection. Connect the supplier account needed for your fulfillment workflow.
Download the product template from CSV Upload. Add your catalog data, including Product ID and SKU, then upload the completed file.
In My Products, link each imported SKU to its supplier SKU. Confirm the variant matches the product your customer will receive before preparing orders.
Complete the order template using the same Product IDs and SKUs as your imported catalog. Add the required delivery details and upload the file.
Check the imported orders in Open Orders, confirm addresses and shipping methods, and submit them to the relevant supplier. Complete payment through that supplier's supported process.
Bring products and orders into DSers with CSV, then place supplier orders from one workspace.
DSers provides separate CSV templates for products and orders. Import your product catalog and complete supplier mapping before bringing in orders that reference those products.
Your data needs to follow DSers' template structure and required fields. A CSV export from another platform may need preparation before it is ready to upload.
CSV is a manual file-based connection. You upload product and order data and export tracking numbers to update your selling platform; it does not provide the same direct synchronization as a native integration.
DSers generates an error report. Use it to identify the problems, correct the file, and upload it again. Missing required fields or mismatched product references can cause failures.
No. Importing adds the order to DSers for review and supplier submission. Supplier payment remains a separate part of fulfillment and follows the relevant sourcing channel's process.
For CSV product imports, each product SKU maps to one supplier SKU. Complete this relationship before importing orders so the product references match your catalog.
