How Do I Add Bulk Products to WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 4:02 pm

Do you want to add multiple products to your WooCommerce store at once? Adding products one by one can be time-consuming, especially if you have a lot of products. In this article, we’ll show you how to add bulk products to WooCommerce.

There are two methods for adding bulk products to WooCommerce.

Method 1: Use the built-in CSV importer or a plugin like WP All Import

If you’re using the CSV importer, you first need to export your products from WooCommerce as a CSV file. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products. On the Products page, select Export from the top.

On the Export Products page, select which type of file you want to export and what fields you want to include. Once you’ve made your selections, click Generate CSV. Your CSV file will be generated and downloaded.

Next, open the CSV file in a text editor like Notepad++ or Microsoft Excel. Make sure that each column is labeled correctly and that all of your product information is entered correctly. Once you’ve verified that everything is correct, save the file and upload it to your WordPress site.

PRO TIP: When adding bulk products to WooCommerce, be sure to take into account the maximum number of products that can be added at once. If you are adding a large number of products, it is recommended to do so in smaller batches to avoid timeouts or other issues.

To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products. On the Products page, select Import from the top. On the Import Products page, select Choose File, select your CSV file, and click Upload file and import.

On the next screen, map your CSV columns to the appropriate product fields and click Continue. Finally, review your import settings and click Import. Your products will be imported into WooCommerce.

Method 2: Use WP All Import Plugin

If you don’t want to use the built-in CSV importer, you can use a plugin like WP All Import. WP All Import is a powerful importer that makes it easy to import products from a CSV file. It’s also great for importing large files or files with complex data.

First, install and activate the WP All Import plugin. For more information on how to install plugins, see our article on how to install WordPress plugins.

Once the plugin is activated, go to WP All Import > New Import. On the next screen, select “Upload a file”, click “Select File”, and select your CSV file. Once your file is selected, click “Upload File & Continue”.

WP All Import will now upload your CSV file.

On the next screen, you’ll need to map your CSV columns to the appropriate product fields. To do this, select each field from the dropdown menu and then select the corresponding column header from your CSV file. Once all of your fields are mapped correctly, click “Continue”.

Conclusion

Adding bulk products to WooCommerce can save you a lot of time when adding new products to your store. There are two methods for adding bulk products: using the built-in CSV importer or using a plugin like WP All Import.
