The Product Import Export Plugin for WooCommerce provides a quick and efficient way to export Composite Products into a CSV/XML/Excel file. All details of composite products, such as component products, quantities, pricing options, categories, images, attributes, and metadata, can be exported.
By default, composite products are exported along with their component details. This ensures you can back up, migrate, or bulk edit composite product data without losing relationships between the components.
To export composite products, first select Product as the post type. Then choose a preferred export method and, if necessary, set filters to refine the data. Next, map and adjust the export columns to match your requirements. You can also use advanced settings like Batch Export or Scheduling to configure the process. Finally, click Export to finish.
Create composite products
Composite products allow you to create flexible product kits by combining multiple existing products. Suppose we have a composite product Laptop with three components: Keyboard, Mouse, and Laptop Case.
- After activating a Composite Products plugin, add a new product and set its product type to Composite product (the product type title may vary depending on the plugin you use).
- The product then appears in the Products list in the WordPress dashboard, as a composite product.
- Finally, the product is reflected in the store with its available components.
Note: Before you proceed, install and activate a Composite Product plugin to provide the composite product for sale.
Steps to export composite products
Click on WebToffee Import Export (Pro) > Export menu from the WordPress admin panel.
- Select the post type as Product.
- Select an export method.
- Filter the data.
- Map and reorder export columns.
- Use advanced options/ batch export and scheduling.
In this step, you can choose to export products using either their Export ID or SKU. The Export ID corresponds to the internal WooCommerce product ID. For example, in the CSV below, the composite product Laptop and its components (Keyboard, Mouse, Laptop Case) each have their own product ID.
- Click Export to finish.
