You can import your own CSV product files and map the columns as needed, making the process more flexible if you already have your product data in Google Sheets, a CSV file, or an .xlsx (Microsoft Excel) file.

Here's how to do it: 

a. Import your product spreadsheet 

From the main dashboard, click on the Create button in the top right corner, then select Product Catalog. Then, a pop-up will appear to import your product data, where you will have two options: Google Drive or Upload CSV. 

b. Generate your product catalog 

Once your data is imported, the Product Catalog Generator will show 5 different types of product templates that you can use, each with unique layouts and design elements. Pick the one that fits your product feed the best. And that's it! Next, you can improve your catalog by adding interactions and other elements. 

2. Catalog statistics: Best-selling products

In addition to individual order details, if you have added a shopping button, you can now track the Top products per catalog. This shows which products have been ordered the most within each catalog, helping you better understand product popularity and customer preferences.

How to see it:

a. On a published catalog, click on Stats

 

b. Then scroll down, and you will see Popular products section and your top-performing items by orders.

3. Set a minimum order value

To help you avoid small, low-value transactions, you can now set a minimum order price in your catalog. This means customers will need to reach a specific total amount before they can complete their purchase. Make sure it is enabled and enter the amount you want to set (e.g., $50)

How to enable it:

Open your catalog, and add a shopping area or shopping button. Click on it to access Shop Settings in the bottom left corner, then scroll to Set a minimum order price and enter your desired amount. 

4. Customization for your products 

 

1. Flexible paid personalization

You can now sell customizable products with built-in pricing options:

• Flat fee for personalization (e.g., $10 to engrave a coffee mug)

• Per-character pricing for items like jerseys with a customer’s name (e.g., $2.50 per character)

• Character limits to keep custom designs manageable and on-brand.

2. Customize only specific variants 

Now you can control exactly when customization options appear in your catalog.
Customization (like engraving, labeling, or special finishes) will only be shown when a customer selects a product variant that actually supports it.

For example, if you offer mugs in red and blue, but only the red mug can be engraved, the customization option will appear only after the customer selects red.

How to set it up: 

a. Open your catalog in Flipsnack and add a Shopping area or Shopping button. Select the area of the button and click on Edit product 

b. Scroll to Advanced Options → Toggle Attribute-based personalization ON. Then, select the attribute (e.g., Size, Color, or Material) where customization should apply.

c. Define the Option name customers will see (e.g., "Customize product").

5. Better sync across your product catalogs

We’ve improved catalog sync. Now, whenever you update a price, image, or product detail, your changes automatically sync across all your catalogs in real time in a better way.

6. Up to 90 flexible product attributes

You now have up to 90 attribute definitions to organize your products exactly the way you want.
Assign all attributes to one type (e.g., 90 different sizes) or split them flexibly across size, color, material, and more—it’s completely customizable based on your product catalog needs.

How it works:

a. Add a shopping area or shopping button from the side navigation bar. Select the button or area. Click Edit product, and a product details pop-up will appear.

b. Scroll down until the Product attributes section, where you can add the product variants.
