Importing Woocommerce Products ✅ Wordpress Ecommerce Website Guide for Beginners

There's a few ways to import content into Wordpress, but in this tutorial, I'll be focusing on importing WooCommerce products in particular, and more particularly in bulk without any fuss by using one of the best import methods I've come across called the WP-ALL-IMPORT plugin.

WP All Import Add On Plugin to be installed in the Wordpress Repository


One of the biggest problems with Wordpress & Woocommerce is the vast amount of choices you have when choosing a plugin, specifically to this video, an Import Plugin. Wordpress has multiple different developers creating similar plugins that basically does the same thing, but they're not all great plugins so you mostly end up with a plugin that does very little before you have to end up buying the pro version to do the next basic thing. That's the crazy world of open-source and makes filtering through the Wordpress Repository a slight bit of a nightmare trying to find the right plugin for you.

Today I'm saving you the hassle, so look no further!

Sure we can use WooCommerce's built-in import function but I've found it to be clunky and very hard to use because the user has to adopt their WooCommerce product content in their CSV file specific to the fields that Woocommerce offers and all that without having any kind of preview of what you're importing. Aside from the previously noted drawback, you require an extra program on your computer that will allow you to edit CSV files, as opposed to logically adding your product content to an excel file and just upload it that way.

The plugin I'm using for this however, called WP All Import has a step-by-step Wizard and a click, drag and drop function which allows file types like XML, CSV or even Microsoft Excel's file extension to be easily uploaded, then assign relevant fields and edit your input content like pricing, brands, custom taxonomies and an endless list of fields before pressing that import button.

Users looking to create a dropshipping store with thousands of products, especially has a huge benefit to gain from this video and the plugin we're showcasing today.
