Getting Started With CSV Pilot

Updated 2026-08-24 · 8 min read

CSV Pilot is a free, no-signup tool for creating and managing Hyperzod product catalog CSVs. You can generate a catalog by chatting, convert a Shopify or DeliverLogic export into the Hyperzod format, or upload your current CSV and edit it. This quick-start walks through each flow in under five minutes, with the prompts that produce the best results.

Flow 1: Create a catalog by chatting

  1. Open CSV Pilot and click the chat input.
  2. Type what you need: "Create 8 pizza products with sizes Small, Medium, Large and a toppings add-on group."
  3. Watch the preview fill with products. Click any cell to fix a name or price.
  4. Press Export CSV and download the Hyperzod-compatible file.

That is the whole flow. The AI builds the correct column structure for you — you never touch a column name. The more specific the request, the better the draft: include quantities, price ranges, categories, and which items should have variants or add-ons.

Flow 2: Convert a Shopify export

  1. Click Upload CSV and select your Shopify product export.
  2. The tool detects the format and holds the file without changing it.
  3. In the chat, say "Convert this CSV for import."
  4. Review the converted catalog in the preview — variants have become option groups, and the base price is the cheapest variant.
  5. Export and import into Hyperzod.

The hold-and-convert design matters: an accidental upload never modifies your data. Conversion only happens when you ask for it.

Flow 3: Convert a DeliverLogic menu

  1. Upload the DeliverLogic menu file.
  2. Say "Convert this CSV for import."
  3. Review the option groups — sauces, toppings and crusts each become a group with their prices as add-on amounts over the base price.
  4. Export.

DeliverLogic menus are the most repetitive to convert by hand — one row per option member — so this flow saves the most time for restaurant merchants.

Flow 4: Edit your current CSV

  1. Upload your existing catalog CSV.
  2. Either click cells in the preview to fix individual values, or describe a bulk change: "Make all products 15% cheaper."
  3. Review, then export.

Bulk edits respect the delta pricing model, so changing a base price keeps the Small/Medium/Large differences intact.

Tips for good results

  • Be specific — "10 pizzas with sizes and toppings, ₹299–₹599" beats "some pizzas".
  • Review before export — inferred fields are highlighted in the preview; check them.
  • Fix in the preview, not in the exported file — editing the raw CSV afterwards reintroduces the manual errors the tool removes.
  • Your data is safe — files are processed in memory, never stored, and never used to train AI models.
  • Validation is your friend — the error count next to the preview tells you when the file is ready.

Start with Flow 1. Create a small catalog of five products, review it, and export. It takes less time than reading this guide.
