It\u2019s also a good fit if you want a quick, no-plugin solution for handling bulk product uploads or updates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table3\">\n<p>Here\u2019s a concise wrap-up of the WooCommerce product import process using CSV files, summarized by each key step:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Prepare your CSV file;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Upload your CSV file;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Import products into WooCommerce;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Update existing products (Optional);<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Convert simple to variable products (Optional).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare your CSV file<\/h3>\n<p>Before you begin, you need a CSV file prepared with all the necessary product information for import into WooCommerce. You can create this file in a few different ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Export a product CSV from your existing store.<\/li>\n<li>Download a <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/woocommerce\/woocommerce\/tree\/trunk\/plugins\/woocommerce\/sample-data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sample CSV file<\/a> from GitHub and replace the example data with your own product details.<\/li>\n<li>Create a CSV file on your own, even if it only includes some basic fields such as product name, price, and description.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78007\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78007\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78007\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-scaled.webp\" alt=\"woocommerce-import-products-step-1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-300x138.webp 300w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-1024x470.webp 1024w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-768x352.webp 768w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-1536x705.webp 1536w, https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1-step1chinh-2048x940.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Step 1. Double-check the CSV template<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the very minimum, your WooCommerce import CSV file should include these basic fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Name:<\/strong> the product\u2019s title as it will appear in your store.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SKU:<\/strong> a unique identifier for each product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short description:<\/strong> a quick summary that usually shows near the price and Add to Cart button.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Description:<\/strong> the main product description, often used for detailed info.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In stock? \/ Stock: <\/strong>lets you show availability or inventory levels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regular price: <\/strong>the standard selling price of the product.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sale price (optional):<\/strong> a discounted price, if you\u2019re running promotions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Categories: <\/strong>used to organize products into groups in your store.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tags (optional):<\/strong> keywords that help with filtering and SEO.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you choose to create the CSV file manually, make sure it complies with WooCommerce\u2019s general formatting and data requirements. Here are the 7 key reminders: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure your WooCommerce import CSV is in UTF-8 format.<\/li>\n<li>Set dates according to your store's local time zone.<\/li>\n<li>Use 1 or 0 in your CSV when importing a Boolean value (true or false).<\/li>\n<li>Separate multiple values in a field with commas<\/li>\n<li>Wrap values in quotes if they contain a comma.<\/li>\n<li>When referencing an existing product ID, prefix it with &#8220;id:&#8221; (for example, id:100)<\/li>\n<li>Use &#8220;&gt;&#8221; to indicate hierarchy in taxonomy terms, and separate these terms with commas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the steps for WooCommerce import products with images aren\u2019t as straightforward. More specifically:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Images must be pre-uploaded or hosted online to be imported into your WooCommerce store.<\/li>\n<li>External image URLs are supported, as long as they are directly accessible and not redirected (which is common with some cloud storage links).<\/li>\n<li>If the image already exists in your Media Library, you can reference it by specifying its filename.<\/li>\n<li>The core WooCommerce CSV importer does not support adding, editing, or updating alt text for product images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2: Upload your CSV file<\/h3>\n<p>After finishing your CSV file, navigate to<strong> All Products &gt; Products<\/strong> in your dashboard. Then, click on the <strong>Import<\/strong> button at the top of the page, which will bring up the CSV upload screen.<\/p>\n<p>Next, select <strong>Choose File<\/strong> and upload the CSV file containing your product data. If this CSV file uses a different symbol to separate data (e.g., a semicolon instead of a comma), type that symbol into the &#8220;CSV delimiter&#8221; box under the Advanced settings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_84164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-84164\" style=\"width: 1574px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-84164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/import-products-csv-file-woocommerce.webp\" alt=\"Step 2.

However, since it's a free tool, this importer handles fewer products than all-in-one services like LitExtension.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-4\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How to create an Excel file to import WooCommerce Products?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To create an Excel file for WooCommerce import, simply open Microsoft Excel (or Google Sheets) and start adding your product data in a row-by-row format. Use column headers that match WooCommerce\u2019s CSV format, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Name\n<li>Description\n<li>Short description\n<li>SKU\n<li>Regular price\n<li>Sale price\n<li>Categories\n<li>Images\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once your data is ready, go to <b>File &gt; Save As<\/b>, and export the file as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file.
