Getting started
Step 1. Download the CSV file here to use as a template.
Step 2. Open the downloaded file and start adding your products. You can use the examples from the file to guide you, but don't forget to remove them afterward. Also, try to fill out as many fields as possible, as this will save you from having to add anything manually in the future.
Do not delete the first two rows or change the order of the columns.
Check each section below on how to add different product types to your CSV file.

- Min: This is the minimum amount of modifiers you can choose for this group. If you want the customer to order at least one modifier, you set it to 1.
