Last updated on May 8, 2023

WooCommerce Product Import Export plugin facilitates importing and exporting WooCommerce products into a CSV or a Comma Separated Value file. Once imported, the CSV file can be opened with a text editor on your computer. The values in the CSV are generally separated by a comma. The most convenient way of viewing or editing a CSV file is using spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
