If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you know that adding products one-by-one can be time-consuming. Wouldn’t it be great if you could import multiple products at once?

Fortunately, WooCommerce makes it easy to import products in bulk. In this article, we’ll show you how to import multiple products into WooCommerce.

Before You Start

Before you can import your products, you need to prepare your CSV file. This is a comma-separated values file that contains all the data for your products. You can create this file in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

Make sure that your CSV file contains the following columns:

PRO TIP: If you are planning on importing multiple products into WooCommerce, it is important to take a few precautions first. Make sure that you have a backup of your site before proceeding, as there is always a chance that something could go wrong during the import process. Secondly, take the time to test the import process on a few products first before doing it in bulk, as this will help to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Finally, be sure to keep an eye on your server resources during the import process, as importing large numbers of products can be taxing on your system. If everything goes well, you should be able to successfully import all of your products into WooCommerce without any issues.
  • Name: The name of your product
  • SKU: A unique identifier for your product
  • Price: The price of your product
  • Description: A brief description of your product
  • Image: The URL of your product’s image

You can find more information about creating a CSV file in WooCommerce’s documentation.

How to Import Multiple Products into WooCommerce

Once you have your CSV file ready, log into your WordPress dashboard and go to WooCommerce → Products → Import.

On this page, you’ll see a WooCommerce Product CSV Importer tool. This tool will help you map the data in your CSV file to the appropriate fields in WooCommerce.

To start importing your products, click the “Choose File” button and select your CSV file. Then, click the “Continue” button.

On the next screen, you’ll need to map the columns in your CSV file to the fields in WooCommerce. For each column, select the appropriate field from the drop-down menu. Once you’re done mapping the fields, click the “Continue” button.

On the next screen, you’ll be able to review your products and make sure that everything looks correct. If everything looks good, click the “Run Importer”. If not, click the “Back” button to make changes.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully imported multiple products into WooCommerce.
