How Do I Import a Variable Product Into WooCommerce CSV?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:47 pm

If you have a variable product in WooCommerce that you want to import into a CSV file, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, export your WooCommerce products as a CSV file. Then, open the CSV file in a text editor and add the following columns:

  • product_type – This should be set to “variable” for variable products.
  • variations – This is a comma-separated list of variation IDs for the product. You can find these IDs by opening each variation in WooCommerce and looking at the URL. The ID will be the number after “post=” in the URL.

Once you have added these columns, save the CSV file and import it into WooCommerce. Your variable product will now be imported!

Conclusion:

Importing a variable product into WooCommerce is easy to do with a CSV file. Just export your products from WooCommerce, open the CSV file in a text editor, and add the necessary columns.

Then save the file and import it back into WooCommerce. Your variable product will be successfully imported!

PRO TIP: If you are planning to import a variable product into WooCommerce using a CSV file, there are a few things you need to be aware of. First, make sure that your CSV file is formatted correctly. The columns in your CSV file must match the fields in WooCommerce exactly. If they don’t, your import will fail.

Second, when importing a variable product, you need to include all the variations in the CSV file. Each variation must have its own row, and each row must include all the necessary information for that variation (SKU, price, etc).

If you don’t follow these instructions carefully, you may end up with an unusable product in your WooCommerce store. So take care when importing variable products into WooCommerce via CSV!
