Your team is spending hours uploading products that could be selling. MercuryMinds handles product data entry, attribute mapping, image upload and taxonomy setup for Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Amazon and eBay — at any volume, for any category.
What We Handle
Product data entry isn't just uploading a CSV. It's attribute mapping, taxonomy placement, image association, variant configuration and compliance formatting — for each platform your products sell on.
Core Data Entry
Full product record creation from scratch — titles, descriptions, attributes, pricing, SKU codes, categories, tags and inventory quantities. Formatted for your platform's import schema and uploaded directly. Suitable for new store launches, catalogue expansions and supplier feed integration.
Attributes
Filling in missing attributes from source materials — supplier PDFs, specification sheets, product images and existing partial records. Mapped to your platform's attribute structure (colour, size, material, weight, dimensions) and validated for completeness before upload.
Taxonomy
Classifying products into the correct category tree — your Shopify collections, Magento category hierarchy, WooCommerce product categories or Amazon/eBay browse nodes. Consistent placement so search filters and category navigation work correctly for end users.
Variants
Configuring product variants (size, colour, material combinations) as parent-child relationships in Shopify, Magento and WooCommerce. Bundle and kit product setup with correct component mapping, shared inventory and pricing rules.
Images
Associating the correct images to each product and variant, renaming to SEO-friendly filenames, compressing to platform-required specifications and uploading in the correct order. Amazon main image compliance checked against A9 requirements before upload.
Marketplaces
Product data entry formatted specifically for Amazon's flat file structure and eBay's listing requirements — ASIN lookup, UPC/EAN matching, browse node assignment, bullet points and search terms. Both US and UK marketplace standards handled as standard.
Industry Specialisations
Vehicle data, real estate listings and industrial parts all have data structures that general data entry services don't understand. MercuryMinds handles all three — with named client proof on two of them.

Product data entry for ecommerce is the process of creating and uploading product records into an ecommerce platform or marketplace — covering titles, descriptions, attributes (colour, size, material, weight), category placement, pricing, inventory quantities, images and variant configuration. It includes formatting data to the exact import schema of each platform (Shopify CSV, Magento data feed, Amazon flat file, eBay listing template) and validating records before upload. MercuryMinds has been handling product data entry for ecommerce stores since 2008 across Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, Amazon and eBay.
Timelines depend on the data volume, source format quality and the number of attributes per SKU. As a general guide: 500 SKUs with clean source data typically takes 3–5 working days; 5,000 SKUs takes 2–3 weeks; 50,000 SKUs is scoped as a programme with staged delivery. All projects start with a data audit and a fixed timeline agreed before work begins. Rush processing is available for catalogue migrations and product launches with hard deadlines.
Yes. MercuryMinds handles automotive and vehicle data entry including VIN data entry, vehicle specification completion, dealer inventory upload and HGV/commercial vehicle listings. Vehicle data has complex data structures — year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission, condition, mileage, body type — that require specialist handling to normalise across different dealer feed formats. hgvtraders.com is a platform MercuryMinds built and manages — the vehicle data expertise comes from live production work, not a generic data entry process.
MercuryMinds works from spreadsheets (CSV, XLSX, Google Sheets), supplier data feeds (XML, JSON, EDI), PDF catalogues, specification sheets, product images and direct platform data exports. Output is formatted to the exact schema of the target platform — Shopify CSV import, Magento data feed, WooCommerce CSV, Amazon flat file (US/UK), eBay listing template or a custom format for headless and B2B platforms. Multi-source projects (multiple supplier formats delivered into one platform) are handled as standard.
Product data entry outsourcing is typically priced per SKU or per project depending on volume and complexity. Standard product listing creation (title, description, attributes, category, images) typically ranges from $0.50–$2.00 per SKU depending on attribute count, source data quality and platform requirements. Specialist data types — automotive VIN data, real estate listings, industrial parts — are priced per project based on field complexity. For volumes above 5,000 SKUs, AI catalog automation (Track B) is typically more cost-effective than per-SKU managed entry — we will tell you which approach fits your situation and budget.
