Is it possible to import product data from excel to Shopware 6?

Is there an API for that or some plugin ?

If not,&nbsp;can this be achieve through direct insertions into tables ?

You can use the Import/Export module in the admin to import csv files:&nbsp;[https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-en/settings/importexport](https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware-en/settings/importexport)

Hint: I recommend you to not use Excel, as they work with their own format which can cause issues during an import.

Note that there are many bugs in the import/export, e.g. sales channel column always fails to work.
