This article explains the setting up of WebToffee Product Import Export Plugin For WooCommerce. To know more about the features of the plugin, refer to the product page.
Overview
Product Import Export Plugin For WooCommerce allows you to import and export products to/from your WooCommerce store in CSV or XML format. You can use this plugin to import simple, grouped, external, variable including custom product types such as subscription, bundle or bookable products. You can easily import, export or update hundreds, even thousands of products using one file which saves your effort and time for manually adding product information.
For importing products to your online store, you will need a CSV (Comma-Separated Values)/XML (Extensible Markup Language) file, which contains information about mapping fields.
The plugin also facilitates you to export or import product reviews and ratings of the products by using a CSV file. You can also customize product reviews and ratings according to the needs. This option is mainly used by store owners/admin to move reviews and ratings from one store to another.
It also supports Cron Jobs (WordPress scheduled task) to schedule importing and exporting of products, as well as reviews into an FTP location in a specific time interval automatically.
Pre-requisites
The CSV Import file must be in UTF-8 format. For more information about UTF-8 encoding, read How to save CSV / Excel File as UTF-8 Encoded?
Installation
After purchasing the Product Export Import Plugin For WooCommerce, the plugin will be available as a zip file in the API Downloads section of your MY ACCOUNT page.
- Download the zip file from API Downloads by logging into your Webtoffee MY ACCOUNTS page.
- Log in as the WordPress Admin of your online store.
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New to upload the downloaded plugin.
- Choose the plugin file to upload.
- Finally, activate the plugin.
For detailed information about installing WebToffee plugins, read How to Download, Install, Activate & Update WooCommerce Plugin.
Getting started with the plugin
Once the activation is successful, two new sub-menus appear under the WooCommerce section in the WordPress sidebar menu. You can navigate to the Product Import Export settings in two ways:
- WooCommerce > Product Im-Ex from WordPress dashboard, or
- Plugins > Installed Plugins > Product/Review CSV Import Export > Product Import Export.
Product Import/Export
In CSV Import, the plugin takes CSV file as input for importing products. It maps each field of the CSV file to the field of a particular WooCommerce product (that otherwise needs to be entered manually by admin). Each row represents one single product. You can create a CSV file by using a spreadsheet application such as Google Spreadsheets or Microsoft Excel. After entering all details about products in the spreadsheet, save this file with extension .csv.
You can create one or you can export the product to get the format of CSV. Alternatively, download Product WooCommerce Sample CSV (column headers are the same as WooCommerce field) and Product Commercial Sample CSV (column headers are user-defined).
In XML Import, the plugin takes XML file as input for importing products. It maps each tag of the XML file to the field of a particular WooCommerce product (that otherwise needs to be entered manually by admin).
You can create one or you can export the product to get the format of XML.
WooCommerce Mapping Fields:
Before you get down to configure settings for product import & export, you should know some information about mapping fields.
For example, the post_title field gets mapped to the product name and the regular_price field gets mapped to the regular price of your product. If you want the plugin to work correctly, you must map all of the fields in the correct format. If there is any mistake in your import file, your product import may not work as expected.

On the plugin dashboard, the Product tab is divided into the following two sections:
- Import
- Export
Product Import Export-Menu
Import Products
The Import section helps in importing products using the CSV/XML file. To start importing products, click the Import button.
The Import section contains three methods for importing products as shown below:
WooCommerce Product Import Export- Import Window
Method 1: Select a file from your computer – The first method is to select a CSV/XML file from your computer.
- Selecting a file from your computer: Click the Choose File button to select a CSV/XML file for importing from your computer.
WooCommerce Import Products using CSV/XML
Method 2: Provide FTP Details – The second method is to select a CSV file from your FTP server. You need to provide your FTP information for importing products using this method.
Import Products using FTP
The following FTP information has to be entered for importing products using this method:
- Enable FTP import/export: Check this option to enable FTP import/export.
- FTP Server Host/IP: Enter your FTP server hostname.
- FTP User Name: Enter your FTP username.
- FTP Password: Enter your FTP password
- FTP Server Path: Enter the FTP server path.
- Use FTPS: Check this option to use FTPS. FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secured extension of FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
Method 3: Enter the URL of the file – In the third method, you can provide the URL of the CSV file from where it will be downloaded for importing the products.
Import products via URL
The section below is the Advanced Options for import.
Available-Options
- Mapping Profile: You can select an existing mapping file. Mapping files are created by mapping your imported columns to product data fields.
- Update products if exists: Check the Update products if exists check-box to update details of existing products on your store. The existing products are identified by their SKUs/Product IDs.
- Skip New Products: While updating existing products, tick this check-box to skip products which are not already present in the store. If a new SKU is encountered in the imported CSV file, it will be skipped, and only the existing products will be updated.
- Delimiter: In a delimited text file that is used to store data, each line represents a single entity, and has fields separated by the delimiter. A delimiter is a character used to specify the boundary between separate entities in a text file. A popular example of a delimiter is the comma character, which acts as a field delimiter in a sequence of comma-separated values (CSV). Enter a delimiter to separate the mapping values. By default, a comma is taken as the delimiter. In place of a comma, you can also use other characters like /, ” “, |, @, etc. You can also use the letter ‘t‘ for parsing tab delimiter.
- Delete Existing Products: Check this option to delete the existing products that are not present in the importing CSV.
- Use SKU to link up-sells and cross-sells: Check this option to use SKU to link the up-sells and cross-sells of a product. If this option is not checked, up-sells and cross-sells of a product will be linked using the Product ID.
- Disable thumbnail generation: Check this option to avoid the regeneration of thumbnails on import.
- New product status: This section allows you to change the status of all the new products imported to draft, pending, or published, overriding the existing status in the CSV.
- Use SKU to link grouped products: Check this option to link the grouped items using SKU. If this option is not checked, the grouped products will be linked using product IDs.
Finally, click the Upload File and Import button to proceed further towards Map Fields.
Map Fields: This section allows you to map your imported columns to product data fields. You can select an existing mapping file or create a new one by naming the mapping file and clicking on the Save Import Mapping button as shown below:
Product Import Export-Import Products-Map Fields
It is divided into the following three columns:
- Map to: Represents WooCommerce product field names to which attributes will be mapped.
- Column Header: Represents CSV headers which will be mapped to appropriate WooCommerce fields.
- Evaluation Field: This column is used to fix/update the required value for a particular field.
Following are the possible values:
- Assign any required constant value to field –
For example, to assign the value ‘cotton mixed’ to ‘attribute:pa_fabric’, enter the value =cotton mixed under Evaluation Field in the attribute:pa_fabric row. - Add any required value to the field –
For example, to add ‘2’ to ‘length’, write +2 under Evaluation Field in the Dimension: length row. - Reduce any required value from the field –
For example, to reduce ‘1’ from ‘width’, write -1 under Evaluation Field in the Dimension: width row. - Multiply by any required value to the field –
For example, to multiply ‘weight’ by ‘1.15’, enter the value *1.15 under Evaluation Field in the Dimension: Weight row. - Divide by any required value to the field –
For example, to divide ‘sale price’ by ‘2’, write /2 under Evaluation Field in the Price: Sale Price row. - Append any field by required value –
For example, to append ‘Product Title’ by ‘By HikeForce’, write &By HikeForce under Evaluation Field in the Product Title row. - Prepend any field by required value –
For example, to prepend ‘Product Description’ by ‘Description’, write &Description[VAL] under Evaluation Field in Product Description row.
Note: You can hover the mouse to the 
sign, next to the header Evaluation Field column to see all the above value information. It is as shown in the screenshot below:
Evaluation-Field-On-Hover
- After mapping all the required fields, save these mapping and evaluation fields in a file by specifying the filename in the Mapping file name field.
- Click Submit to start importing.
Once the import is successful, a screen is displayed similar to the below screenshot:
Import successful progress dialog box
Merge Products (Update Existing Products)
If your existing product is modified, you can update that modification on your store by merging it with the existing product. For this, update the existing product by importing the modified product CSV file.
Follow the below steps to merge products:
- Check the Update Products if exists option from the Available Options setting of Product Import.
- Click Import Products to proceed further by selecting the mapping file.
The process of selecting a CSV file for merging products is similar to that of importing products, as described earlier in this article.
Note: If the product SKU does not already exist in your store, then the product is imported as a new product.
You can import simple, grouped, variable and external products. Along with these basic product types, the plugin supports WC Composite products, WC Bundle Product, WC Booking and WC Photography.
For more information on import and export of bundle products, please refer to WooCommerce Import and Export of Bundle Product.
Export Products
With this plugin, products can be exported into a CSV/XML file. The exported file will contain all the product information from your WooCommerce store. You can use this plugin to export simple, grouped, external and variable products, including custom product types such as subscription, bundle or bookable products.
To start exporting products, click the Export button. The export settings are as shown below:
Product Import Export-Export Products
The export settings consist of the following:
- Offset: Allows you to set an offset value that lets you skip a specific number of products before exporting.
product-export-offset
- Limit: Allows you to specify the number of products to be exported.
For example, if Offset=0 and Limit=50, the first 50 products will be exported.
If Offset=10 and Limit=50, the first 10 products will be skipped, and the remaining 50 products will be exported (from product number 11 to 60).
product-export-limit
- Product Categories: Allows you to select categories of products to be exported. This option can be used as a filter for exporting products of certain categories.
product-export-categories

product-export-types
- Sort Columns: Allows you to enter the column name(s) by which you want to sort the products in the CSV file. If you want to sort the products by more than one column name, enter a comma (‘,’) in between the column names. Accepted columns for sorting the products are as given below:
- post_author
- post_date
- post_title
- post_name
- post_modified
- menu_order
- post_modified_gmt
- rand
- comment_count
Note: post_parent and ID columns are entered by default. However, if you want to sort the products first by Product ID, you can manually enter the ID in the Sort Columns field.
- Delimiter: Enter a delimiter to separate the mapping values. By default, a comma is taken as the delimiter. You can also use characters like /, ” “, |, @ and so on.
- Select a mapping file for export: Similar to import settings, you can select an existing mapping file for exporting products. This option is enabled only when you create your first mapping file.
- Columns: Select checkboxes from the Column field for the required columns to be exported. With the Column Name field, you can modify the column header in the CSV file. To do this, simply enter an appropriate name for the specified column.
export-required-product-columns
Additional options for exporting:
Export-Additional-Options
- Save the export mapping: Enter a mapping filename for exporting.
- Include hidden metadata: Select the checkbox if you want to show hidden metadata of your products in the CSV file. To get thumbnail IDs of the product images, select this checkbox.
- Export Children SKU of Grouped Products: Enable this checkbox to link parent and child products with SKU. If this box is unchecked, parent and child products are linked using the product ID.
- Convert shortcodes to HTML: Enable this option to convert shortcode to HTML in the exported CSV.
- Export images as Zip file: When this option is chosen, the exported CSV will include only the names of the images of the products instead of the entire path/URL. To link the products with their corresponding images, all the images that are related to the products being imported will be downloaded to a zip file.
Export-Images-as-ZIP-file
The Export Images as Zip file option is set to no by default. So if you do not want to export the images in a separate file, you leave the field as it is and go ahead with the export.
When you choose yes, click on the Export Product’s Images button to download the images in the zip file. After downloading the zip file you can export the products into a CSV/XML file.
- Click Export Products(CSV)/Export Products(XML) to start exporting products to CSV/XML file respectively.
The exported CSV will be downloaded on your computer automatically.

bulk-actions
Product Reviews Import/Export
The Product Reviews Import/ Export tab allows you to export or import product reviews and ratings of the products by using a CSV file. You can also customize product reviews and ratings according to your needs. This option is mainly used by store owners/admin to move reviews and ratings from one store to another.
For importing product reviews to your online store, you must create a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file, which contains information about mapping fields in the tabular form. You can create the CSV file by using a spreadsheet application such as Google Spreadsheets or Microsoft Excel. Save this file with extension .csv. After entering all the details about products in the spreadsheet, you can import product reviews to your online store.
It also supports Cron Job (WordPress scheduled task) to schedule importing and exporting of products reviews into an FTP location in a specific time interval automatically.
To configure product reviews import and export, read this article on How to import and export product reviews using WooCommerce Product Reviews Import Export Plugin?.

Batch Export is a technique by which you can export products in batches with a specific batch count. In a single iteration, the specified count of products will be exported within the configured timeout intervals until the entire products are exported successfully.
Product Import Export for WooCommerce-Batch Export
- Enable Batch Export by ticking the checkbox.
- If you to include hidden metadata while exporting, select the checkbox.
- The number of records that the server can process for every iteration within the configured timeout interval can be entered in the Batch Count field. If the export fails you can lower this number accordingly and try again.

Hi Iwan,
Our plugin uses either SKU or ID to update existing product data such as stock. If you do not have SKU for all products, you may use ID to update stock.

Hi there! Thank you for this great plugin! I exported my products cause I had to make a change in the description of the pruducts (same change on each product). Then I imported the file again. Everything is fine, BUT how can I turn off the regenerating of the images? By importing I have all the images twice in my media section now. That wouldn’t be such a big deal to delete them once, but the images in my shop are renamed due to regenerating and image.jpg is now image-1.jpg … I want it to be image.jpg – any suggestion what to do? Thank you in advance!

Hi Alex,
If images are not importing, it will not create new image
During updation, desc image column can be skipped.
Kindly try this and let us know if that worked.

I would like to upload a few products to add to my existing products in WooCommerce. Can I append the list with just my few additional products? I don’t want to mess up what’s already there!
Veeresh
May 15, 2017
Hello Christine,
Yes, You can add any amount of New products to your existing products list. or you can update your existing products too.
To add new products to your existing products list, Just have new products in your import csv.
(Note: if you are using ID to new products, please make sure your existing products not having the same ID of existing products). Hope this works.
