Migrating your inventory from another platform
Migrating your inventory from another platform

If you already use another online inventory managements system, find out how to move your inventory to Art Galleria.

Updated over a week ago

We have helped many people over the years to migrate from other systems, and it typically a painless process. Typically there are three steps involved.

(1) Exporting your data from your current system

If you already use another inventory managements system, you can probably export your account data to a spreadsheet in CSV format, or request this from the provider. This works very well for artworks, artists and contacts.

If you're not sure, please contact us and we can provide more information.

(2) Importing a CSV into Art Galleria

Once you have a CSV file, you can easily import it into your Art Galleria account.

Our platform has a field mapping tool, so you can ensure you match your existing account data to the correct fields in Art Galleria. When you import your CSV into your Art Galleria account you can choose which columns of spreadsheet data to match the Art Galleria fields.

For more information please see Uploading artworks using a CSV.

(3) Importing artwork images

There are a couple of different ways you can upload artwork images.

If you have images of your artworks available via publicly accessible URLS in your current inventory management system, or in Dropbox or a similar system, you can use the image_files column in our CSV template (or create one in your own CSV export) to provide a link to the images so that they can be uploaded to the artwork records when you upload the CSV file.

If you have images in a local folder, you can bulk upload them and match them to your artworks (please ask us for detailed instructions or assistance).

We are also able to assist with both exporting your images and uploading them to Art Galleria. Please contact us for more information.
