Run a Bulk Products Analysis from a CSV File

Prerequisites

• An active ProductChimp subscription with enough remaining scans for the current billing cycle. Each item in your file uses one scan — for example, a file with 200 products requires 200 remaining scans.
• A CSV file (this is the only supported file type) with up to 500 products.
• Bulk Analysis is currently available on desktop only.

How It Works

Where to find it

You can start a bulk analysis from either:

• Home page — the "Run Bulk Analysis" button below the search bar.
  
• Saved page — the "Run Bulk Analysis" button next to "Add Collection".
  
• Product Analysis page - next to the search bar.
  
   

Preparing your file

Your CSV must contain these three columns, with this exact header row:

All three column headers are required — a file with missing columns will be rejected. The cost price you provide is used to calculate profit metrics for each product.

Note: searching by product title or Amazon URL is not supported in Bulk Analysis.

Uploading

1. Click Run Bulk Analysis. The Bulk Analysis window opens with a drop zone and the required format shown below it.
2. Drag and drop your file, or click to upload, then click Start Analysis.
3. ProductChimp checks your file first. If there's a problem — like a missing required column — you'll see a "We Couldn't Read This File" message listing exactly what to fix, and you can upload again. No scans are used at this stage.
4. Once your file is accepted, you'll see a confirmation that your products are being analyzed. You can click Go to Saved to watch the progress, or Got it to continue working.

While it's processing

You don't need to stay on the page — the analysis runs in the background. On your Saved page, the new collection card shows a live status like "Analyzing 12 / 45", and we'll let you know when it's ready:

Your results

Every bulk analysis is automatically saved as a new collection in "Saved", named with the run date and time (e.g. bulk_20260716_210821). You can rename it from the collection's "⋮" menu.

Open the collection to see all your analyzed products, with price, rating, BSR, and the date each item was searched.
 

Click any product to open its full analysis page — profit metrics based on your cost price, sales estimates, competition data, and more

Failed Results

Sometimes an item in your file can't be analyzed. When that happens, all the successful results are saved normally — you don't lose anything. Scans are only deducted for successful analyses.

You'll see it in two places:

• On the Saved page — the collection card shows a warning chip, e.g. "44 of 45 found":
  
• Inside the collection — an amber banner at the top shows how many items couldn't be analyzed, e.g. "1 of 45 items couldn't be analyzed". Click details to expand a list showing each failed identifier and the reason, or click Download CSV to save the failed rows as a file.
  

Common reasons an item fails:

• Not found — the identifier doesn't match any product on the selected marketplace (e.g. an invalid ASIN, or a delisted product).
• Unknown identifier type — the value isn't a recognizable ASIN, ISBN-10, UPC, or EAN (could be also a missing letter/digit in the identifier).
• Invalid marketplace — the marketplace value isn't supported or not written in the correct format (use e.g. amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.co.jp).
• Duplicate identifier — the same identifier appears more than once in your file.
• Analysis failed — a temporary issue with the data source or while processing the item. These are worth re-running.

Refreshing the data

A bulk collection is a snapshot from the time the analysis completed. To refresh it with current data, open the collection and click Resync — this re-analyzes every item in the collection. You can do from within each collection:

or from the collection's "⋮" menu:


Note that resyncing uses scans from your plan, one per item, and you'll be asked to confirm before it runs.


 

FAQ

How many products can I upload at once? 
Up to 500 per file.

Do all three columns have to be filled in? 
Your file must include all three column headers: identifier, marketplace, and cost_price. Files with missing columns are rejected before any scans are used.

Which identifiers are supported? 
ASIN, ISBN-10, UPC, or EAN. Product titles and Amazon URLs are not supported in bulk.

Can I mix identifier types in one file? 
Yes — each row is resolved individually, so your file can contain a mix of ASINs, ISBNs, UPCs, and EANs in the identifier column.

Do items that can't be found still use scans? 
No. 

What happens if I don't have enough scans left? 
If your file contains more products than your remaining scans for the billing cycle, the analysis won't start. You can upgrade your plan or wait for your quota to reset.

Can I close the page while it's running? 
Yes. The analysis runs in the background and results are saved automatically. Check the collection card on your Saved page for live progress.

Can I run several bulk analyses at the same time? 
Your plan allows a limited number of bulk runs at once. If you hit the limit, wait for a running analysis to finish before starting a new one.

Is the data in a bulk collection updated automatically? 
No — it's a snapshot from when the analysis completed. Use the Resync button on the collection page to re-analyze all items with fresh data (this uses scans from your plan).

Where do I find past bulk analyses? 
On your Saved page — every bulk run is saved as a collection you can open, rename, and revisit anytime.
