Have you heard about WooCommerce Import Products? Did you know importing your products can be as easy as creating a CSV file and importing that into WooCommerce?
So how to create your CSV?
Start with finding a sample.csv in the plugin folder or download one. It consists of many common fields used to sell products. To see the full list of available fields, check the column header reference.
Do you want to ensure you are adding all the required fields for your online store? Add a product via WordPress and then export that CSV to create a basic template.
To include product variations, add an SKU as it makes it simpler to map variations onto your patent product.
Wondering how to import your CSV? Go to WooCommerce > CSV Import Suite.
