# Importing Commerce Products

This guide will serve as a real-world example of importing Commerce Products into [Craft Commerce](http://craftcommerce.com). We'll be importing two T-Shirt products into Commerce. This guide specifically deals with **single-variant** products.

### Example Feed Data

The below data is what we'll use for this guide:

::: code
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products>
    <product>
        <title>Printed T-Shirt</title>
        <sku>SHIRT-101</sku>
        <price>15</price>
        <stock>500</stock>
        <length>10</length>
        <width>25</width>
        <height>32</height>
        <weight>500</weight>
    </product>

    <product>
        <title>Plain T-Shirt</title>
        <sku>SHIRT-102</sku>
        <price>19</price>
        <unlimitedStock>1</unlimitedStock>
        <length>9</length>
        <width>28</width>
        <height>30</height>
        <weight>480</weight>
    </product>
</products>
```

```json
{
    "product": [
        {
            "title": "Printed T-Shirt",
            "sku": "SHIRT-101",
            "price": "15",
            "stock": "500",
            "length": "10",
            "width": "25",
            "height": "32",
            "weight": "500"
        },
        {
            "title": "Plain T-Shirt",
            "sku": "SHIRT-102",
            "price": "19",
            "unlimitedStock": "1",
            "length": "9",
            "width": "28",
            "height": "30",
            "weight": "480"
        }
    ]
}
```

#### Things to note

- `sku` is compulsory for each product for any import
- `length`, `width`, `height` and `weight` should all be units according to your Commerce settings
- The first product has limited stock, the second unlimited

Choose either the XML or JSON (depending on your preference), and save as a file in the root of your public directory. We'll assume its `http://craft.local/products-feed.xml`.

## Setup your Feed

With your feed data in place, go to Feed Me's main control panel screen, and add a new feed.

![Feedme Matrix Guide Setup](../screenshots/feedme-matrix-guide-setup.png)

Enter the following details:

- **Name** - Products
- **Feed URL** - `http://craft.local/products-feed.xml`
- **Feed Type** - _XML or JSON_
- **Element Type** - Products
- **Commerce Product Type** - Clothing (or similar)
- **Import Strategy** - `Create new elements`, and `Update existing elements`
- **Passkey** - Leave as generated
- **Backup** - Turn on

Click the _Save & Continue_ button to set up the primary element.

## Primary Element

The primary element can be confusing at first, but its vitally important to ensure Feed Me can hone in on the content in your feed correctly. Refer to [Primary Element →](../feature-tour/primary-element.md) for a detailed explanation.

Enter the following details:

- **Primary Element** - `/products/product`
- **Pagination URL** - `No Pagination URL`

Click the _Save & Continue_ button to set up the field mapping.

## Field Mapping

Use the below screenshot as a guide for the data we want to map to our product fields.

![Feedme Products Guide Mapping](../screenshots/feedme-products-guide-mapping.png)

#### Things to note

- As these are single variant products, we check the `Is Default` option. This tells Commerce this variant is the default variant for this product.
- Our unique identifier is the Variant SKU - simply as its unique to each product.
- We have no custom fields for Products setup - but they would appear underneath the Product Variant Fields as per a regular [Importing into Entries](importing-entries.md) workflow.

Click the _Save & Import_ button to begin importing your content.

## Importing your Content

Wait for the feed processing to finish. Remember, you can always navigate away from this confirmation screen.

If you're having issues, or seeing errors at this point, look at the [Troubleshooting](../troubleshooting.md) section.

You should now have 2 brand new products in your Clothing product type.
