# Bulk Import Contact

Uploading a large number of contacts on the [Coinshift ](https://coinshift.xyz/)application can be accomplished easily and efficiently by utilising .CSV files.

Adhering to the proper file format is crucial for a successful upload. Consequently, it is recommended to examine the sample file format available in the dashboard before preparing a similar file for uploading your contacts.
