File formats

Which files Kizing reads and how it handles delimiters, encodings, title rows and archives.

Supported formats

Format	Notes
CSV, TSV, TXT	Comma, semicolon, tab or pipe, detected automatically
XLSX	First sheet, or the one you pick; title rows above the header are skipped
XML	You or the agent pick the element that holds each product
JSON	An array of products, or the path to one
ZIP	Any of the above inside; pick the file by name pattern if there are several

Encodings

UTF-8 with or without a byte order mark, UTF-16 with a byte order mark, and Windows-1252 (common in older European exports). Umlauts and accents come through correctly.

Header row

The header doesn't have to be the first line. Kizing finds it below title rows such as "Stock list 02.11.2026".

Duplicate rows

If the same SKU appears twice, the quantities are added up and the run log lists the duplicate.
