How do I export a WooCommerce product from CSV?

Last updated on January 10, 2023 @ 1:15 pm

When you export a WooCommerce product from CSV, you are exporting the product data in a text format. You can then use this text format to create a product export file for use with a different eCommerce platform.

To export a WooCommerce product from CSV:

  1. Open your WooCommerce product’s CSV file.
  2. Use the “Tab” key to move the cursor to the first row of the file.
  3. Use the “C” key to change the cursor to a “comment” character.
  4. Use the “Tab” key to move the cursor to the end of the file.
  5. Use the “C” key to change the cursor to a “comma” character.
  6. Use the “V” key to paste the product data into a new line in the file.
  7. Use the “Enter” key to save the file.
  8. Use the “Export” button on the WooCommerce product’s main page to export the product data as a CSV file.
  9. Use the “Import” button on the WooCommerce product’s main page to import the CSV file into WooCommerce.
  10. The imported product data will replace the product data in the WooCommerce product’s database.
  11. To view the exported product data in a different eCommerce platform, export the CSV file and use the “Import” button on the eCommerce platform to import the CSV file into the product’s database.
PRO TIP: When exporting a WooCommerce product from CSV, make sure to include all required fields such as the product name, SKU, price, etc. Otherwise, the product may not be imported correctly.
