Description
Webeelancer Product Import Export for WooCommerce is a lightweight, reliable, and secure solution for managing your store’s product catalog.

Key Features
- Custom Export Templates: Save and reuse export configurations with custom header names, field prefixes/suffixes, and column ordering.

,), semicolons (;), or tabs (\t) for full compatibility with international spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel. - CSV & XML Import: Import products from CSV or XML files with sequential AJAX chunk processing, preventing server timeouts on larger catalogs.

- Inherit parent product images if the variation lacks its own image.
- Optionally inherit parent descriptions when variation descriptions are empty.
- Option to exclude parent variable products when exporting variations.
- Automated Meta Scanner: Automatically inspects your recent products to detect custom fields, ACF keys, and custom taxonomy attributes so you can map them with a single click.

- Safety First: Built-in CSV formula injection protection, strict SSRF/URL validation, and defensive data sanitization.
- HPOS Compatible: Fully declared and tested with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and WooCommerce 9+.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
-
Yes, this plugin is built specifically for WooCommerce stores and requires WooCommerce 6.0 or newer.
-
Which file formats are supported?
-
- Export: CSV (with configurable delimiters including comma, semicolon, and tab).
- Import: CSV and XML (universal product feeds, RSS, Google Shopping format).
-
How does variation inheritance work?
-
When exporting variations, you can enable options to automatically inherit the featured image and/or product description from the parent variable product if the variation does not specify its own. If the variation has its own image or description, its unique data is always preserved.

-
Yes! The import process uses client-side AJAX chunking. It processes records sequentially in batches, ensuring your server’s memory and execution time limits are respected.
