## FAQs

**How should I handle product variants?**

Add each variant as a separate SKU in the Product Catalogue.

**Can I use the Product Catalogue for bin locations if my eCommerce platform doesn't import them?**

Yes. Upload a CSV with SKUs and bin locations. Starshipit will match SKUs and apply the bin locations during order import.

**Why would I use Starshipit's Product Catalogue over Shopify's?**

Starshipit's Product Catalogue is designed to enhance Shopify's, not replace it. It lets you optimise product data specifically for fulfilment — for example, setting a different customs description to improve customs clearance, adding bin locations to simplify packing, or including dimensions for optimal packaging. It bridges the gap between the products you sell and the most efficient way to pick, pack, and ship them.

**What happens if I import a CSV with SKUs that already exist?**

Starshipit replaces the existing values with those in the import file.

**What if my CSV has duplicate SKUs?**

The first occurrence is imported. Subsequent duplicates are ignored and flagged as errors.

**Do you have APIs available for the Product Catalogue?**

Yes. Starshipit provides Product Catalogue APIs for syncing and automating with other systems. See the [API documentation](https://api-docs.starshipit.com/#ccf0f10f-e370-45c0-ba5c-13bfaac80ca6) for details.
