How to Import Products into Your Form

Summarize with:

Jotform makes it easy to add multiple products to your form using the Product List. Instead of entering items one by one, you can quickly import them from different sources:

Import from a CSV/Excel file — Upload a standard CSV or Excel file with your product details.
Import from a PDF — Convert your product catalog into form-ready items in seconds.
Import from Images — Import product photos or images with products in them, like menus or catalogs, directly into your product list.
Import from Shopify — Use your Shopify product export to instantly bring in your store catalog.

This saves time and effort, letting you set up online order forms, donation forms, or event registrations with many products in just a few clicks. Whether you’re managing a small store or a large inventory, importing products this way makes it faster and easier to get your forms ready for customers or attendees.
