Description
Fapro is a time-saving tool designed for WooCommerce store managers, data entry specialists, and shop owners who are tired of the slow, default WooCommerce product creation process.
If you need to add dozens or hundreds of products to your store, waiting 5-10 seconds for the default WooCommerce page to load and navigating through complex tabs for every single item is a massive waste of time. Fapro solves this problem.
This plugin replaces the multi-tabbed clutter with a highly optimized, streamlined, single-page interface powered entirely by AJAX. You can continuously add simple or variable products one after another without ever reloading the page. Save hours of manual data entry and supercharge your WooCommerce inventory management!
🚀 Key Features for Maximum Speed
Fast & AJAX-Powered: Completely eliminates page reloads. Once you hit save, the product is published instantly in the background, and the form resets in a fraction of a second for your next entry.
Keyboard-Only Navigation: Fully accessible via TAB and ENTER. You can navigate fields, paste images, and save products without ever touching your mouse.
Smart “Pin & Lock” System: Are you adding 50 products that share the same category, price, or brand? Simply click the “Pin” icon next to the field. The plugin will lock that value and automatically pre-fill it for all your subsequent products!
Copy Last Product: Press Alt + C or click the copy button to instantly duplicate the last product you added. Change the name or the price, and hit enter again!
Clipboard Image Paste: No more downloading and uploading! Just copy any image from the web or your computer, click the screen, and press Ctrl + V to attach it instantly.
URL Image Fetching: Have an image link from a supplier? Click “Add by URL”, paste the link, and the plugin will securely download and attach the image to your product.
Auto-Generators:
Auto-SKU (Alt + S): Instantly generate a unique, clean SKU based on the category (e.g., SHI-4921).
Auto-Tags (Alt + T): Automatically extract meaningful keywords from your product title and convert them into tags.
Draft or Publish Switch: Need to review products before they go live? Use the toggle switch at the top to instantly route your fast entries directly into your “Drafts” folder instead of publishing them.
Customizable Interface: Hide fields you don’t use (like SKU, Stock, or Description) using the live sidebar settings. Your workspace, your rules.
Basic Variations: Quickly generate variable products using a simple comma-separated text format (e.g., Size: S, M, L).
Role & Security Based: Fully integrates with standard WordPress user capabilities. If a contributor uses the plugin, products are safely saved as “Pending Review”.

FAQ
-
Does it require WooCommerce?
-
Yes, Fapro is specifically built as an add-on for WooCommerce. It must be installed and activated on your website.
-
What is the absolute fastest way to add a product?
-
Type your Product Name.
Press TAB to move through the fields (Price, Category).
Press Ctrl + V to paste an image directly from your clipboard.
Press Ctrl + Enter to save the product instantly.
The form will clear, and you can immediately start typing the next product’s name! -
How do the “Pin” icons work?
-
The Pin feature is designed for bulk repetitive entry. If you are adding 20 t-shirts that are all $19.99 and in the “Clothing” category, you don’t need to re-type this data. Type it once, click the Pin icon inside the input field. The field will turn gray (locked). After you save the product, that field will keep its value for your next entry automatically!

How do I add a product image?
-
You have three fast options:
Copy any image to your clipboard and simply press Ctrl + V anywhere on the plugin screen.
Click “Add by URL” and paste a direct link to an external image.

Can I create variable products?

-
You can enable “Auto-Generate SKU” or “Auto-Generate Tags” in the Field Settings. Alternatively, you can use the magic buttons or shortcuts (Alt + S for SKU, Alt + T for Tags) to generate them on the fly.
-
I want to prepare products but not publish them yet. Is that possible?
-
Absolutely! At the top of the form, you’ll see a switch toggle. Change it from “Publish Directly” to “Save as Draft”. All products you enter will now go safely into your Drafts folder for later review.

What happens if I make a mistake?

Just press the ESC key on your keyboard. It will instantly reset the form back to its default state while preserving any fields you have “Pinned”.
