How to bulk upload products to WordPress

0April 9, 2023

To bulk add products to WooCommerce in WordPress, you can use the built-in import tool. Here are the steps:

  1. Login into your WordPress dashboard and go to products.
  2. To make sure you’re including all of the fields that are required for your online store, you can add one product via WordPress and then go to products page and click on export CSV option to download your basic template.
  3. Edit the CSV file with the product information. You can use a spreadsheet program such as Excel or Google Sheets to create the file. That CSV file should contain all main columns including the product name, SKU, price, description, categories, and any other relevant product information.
  4. Once you have added all product information go to the WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Products.
  5. Click on the Import button at the top of the screen.
  6. Choose the CSV file you created in step 1.
  7. Map the CSV columns to the WooCommerce product fields. WooCommerce will attempt to automatically map the fields, but you may need to adjust the mapping manually.
  8. Click the Run the Importer button to begin the import process.
  9. Wait for the importer to finish importing the products. Depending on the size of the file and the number of products, this may take some time.
  10. Once the import is complete, review the products to ensure that they were imported correctly.

That’s it! With these steps, you can easily bulk add products to WooCommerce in WordPress using the built-in import tool. Note that you can also use third-party plugins or services to import products, which may offer additional features and options.
