Imports and exports using spreadsheets

Admin users can make bulk updates using CSV or XLSX file for:

• Product details (Products > Bulk upload products): Export, modify, and re-import existing products, or add new ones using a template.
• Stock levels (Products > Bulk upload stock): Import stock data.
• Order dispatch details (Orders > Bulk dispatch): Import dispatch information.

The import and export tasks can take some time and do not require user interaction, so they run as background tasks.
