Can't create more than 8 product list

V5 Question

Your problem is you have not used the batch create product correctly. It is not for adding categories, it is for adding categories AND products. You can’t just add a list of categories without products in them.

I see from your screenshot, you have entered

#Entrees
Chicken
Pork
Beef
Shrimp

What you have essentially done is say you want a category called “Entrees” and inside that category, you have products named Chicken, Pork, Beef, Shrimp. I don’t know if that is your intention? But anyway, those products need a price otherwise they won’t get added.

Also every product name needs to be unique, so if you already have a product called Chicken, you can’t add another with the same name.

So if you do want products called Chicken, Pork, Beef, Shrimp, the correct format would be:

(updated to clarify point about unique product names)

#Entrees
Chicken Entree 1.50
Pork Entree 1.50
Beef Entree 1.50
Shrimp Entree 1.50

In this case, each would have a price of $1.50 (see the 1 at the end)

You can read this tutorial (from “Create your own products” onwards), it is for V4 but still relevant to V5. It describes how batch create products work.
