The default import and export batch count for the Product Import Export Plugin for WooCommerce can be adjusted from the plugin’s General Settings. Modifying the batch size helps balance speed and stability depending on the hosting environment — smaller batches reduce the risk of timeouts on shared or limited hosting, while larger batches can improve speed on more powerful servers.
To begin with:
- From the Dashboard, go to WebToffee Import Export (Pro) > General settings > General.
- The General tab displays the settings for adjusting the batch count.
Here, you can modify the following:
- Default Import batch count – The default number of records imported in a batch.
- Default Export batch count – The default number of records to be exported in a batch.
Batch Size and Performance
- For import, the batch count is limited to 50. This prevents the server timeout issue that is caused when processing numerous records.
- For export, the batch count is limited to 200. This prevents the server timeout issue that is caused when processing numerous records.
In short, when the batch count is increased, the chances of server timeout are less.
