How Do I Export Variable Products in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 10:24 pm

If you’ve ever wanted to sell a product that comes in multiple variations – like a shirt that comes in different sizes and colors – you know how difficult it can be to keep track of all the different products and variations. Thankfully, WooCommerce makes it easy to sell variable products. In this article, we’ll show you how to export variable products in WooCommerce.

Variable products are a product type in WooCommerce that allows you to offer a product with multiple variations, each of which may have a different price, stock level, or SKU. For example, if you’re selling shirts on your WooCommerce store, you could create a variable product for “Shirt” and then add variations for “Size” and “Color”.

When you export variable products from WooCommerce, you’ll first need to export the parent product and then the child variations. To do this, we recommend using the WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite. This plugin makes it easy to export and import products in CSV format.

Once the plugin is installed and activated, go to WooCommerce > CSV Import Suite. From here, you can click on the “Export Products” tab and then select “Variable Products” from the drop-down menu.

This will export all parent variable products as well as all child variations. If you only want to export the parent products, you can select the “Variable Products (no children)” option from the drop-down menu.

Once you’ve exported your products, you can then import them into another WooCommerce store using the “Import Products” tab. Simply select the CSV file that you exported from your first store and click “Upload file and import”. The plugin will handle the rest.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, exporting variable products in WooCommerce is easy to do with the right plugin. We recommend using the WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite for this purpose.

With this plugin, you can export both parent variable products and child variations with ease.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on exporting your WooCommerce variable products, please be aware that there is no easy way to do this. You will need to export each product individually and then edit the CSV file to include the appropriate information for each variation. This can be a time-consuming and tedious process, so please be sure to plan accordingly.
