DropProduct – Bulk Product Uploader for WooCommerce

Description

DropProduct is the fastest way to add products to your WooCommerce store. Stop wasting hours creating products one by one — just drag & drop your product images and let DropProduct do the rest.

Upload 10, 50, or 100+ product images at once. Each image instantly becomes a draft product with a clean title generated from the filename. Edit prices, categories, SKUs, and descriptions right in the grid — everything saves automatically. When you’re ready, publish all products in a single click.

⚡ How It Works

  1. Drag & drop your product images onto the upload zone
  2. Products are created automatically as drafts with smart titles from filenames
  3. Related images are groupedshoe-1.jpg and shoe-2.jpg become one product with a gallery
  4. Edit inline — title, description, regular price, sale price, SKU, stock, and category
  5. Publish all valid products in one click

🎯 Who Is This For?

  • Dropshippers adding hundreds of products quickly
  • Photographers & artists selling prints and digital products
  • Wholesalers managing large inventories
  • Anyone tired of WooCommerce’s slow, one-at-a-time product creation

  • Only sets alt text when the field is currently empty — never overwrites manual work

⚙️ Cost-to-Profit Tracker

  • Add a “Cost Price” to any product row — stored privately as _dropproduct_cost_price (never shown to customers)

  • Honeypot field — invisible to real users; filled by bots immediate block
  • Blacklist — block orders from specific names, phones, or email addresses
  • Disposable email detection — 20+ known throwaway domains blocked by default; fully editable list
  • IP velocity limiting — too many orders from the same IP within 1 hour scores +30 risk points
  • IP / Billing country mismatch — uses WC Geolocation (no external API); adds risk score and private order note

  • Checkout speed check — orders submitted faster than a configurable threshold are scored as suspicious
  • Configurable thresholds — separate block and review thresholds; force On-Hold instead of block if preferred

FAQ

Does DropProduct require WooCommerce?

Yes. WooCommerce must be installed and active. DropProduct requires WooCommerce 6.0 or higher.

What fields can I edit in the grid?

You can edit: Title, Short Description, Regular Price, Sale Price, SKU, Stock Status, Category, and Cost Price (internal — not shown to customers).

How does the Order Shield fraud protection work?

Order Shield uses a rule-based scoring engine to assess risk at checkout. Each suspicious signal (disposable email, IP velocity, country mismatch, failed payments, checkout speed) adds risk points. If the total exceeds your “Block” threshold, the order is rejected; if it exceeds your “Review” threshold, the order is set to “On Hold”. No external APIs are used.

Where is the Cost Price stored?

Cost prices are stored in wp_postmeta under the key _dropproduct_cost_price. They are private and never shown to customers.

Does DropProduct work with WooCommerce HPOS?

Yes. DropProduct is fully compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).

Will this plugin slow down my admin?

No. DropProduct loads its CSS and JavaScript only on the DropProduct admin page.
