    Hi there,

    I see that your CSV file contains three different variable products and their variations. Are all three of them failing to import?

    For the second and third ones, I see what might be causing an issue — each variation has the “Parent” set as itself, rather than the SKU of the parent variable product:

    That first one looks OK though regarding the Parent: it is set to the parent’s SKU. Is that one failing too?

    Hi there again,

    I also did a test import with your CSV, and the products failed to import because I don’t have those image files available (all errors were regarding images):

    Just want to make sure — have you already uploaded all of those image files to your Media Library?

    Hi there again again,

    Did a bit more testing after removing the images column from the CSV. I saw that the products imported, but no variations were created.

    After that, I noticed that the attributes “visible” and “global” columns were only set at the Parent level, but not for the variations. I added 1‘s for all of the attributes on the variations as well like this:

    variations

    After that, when I imported it successfully created the variations for that product:

    variations

    So, it looks like you will need to set those all to 1 so that they are used on the variations too. Also, you’ll need to change the Parent column for the 2nd and 3rd products as described in my first comment above.

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks for checking and your support.
    I made a few changes to the file, added the parent sku to variations, removed the attributes from the variations and now everything importing just fine.

    THANKS THANK THANKS 😀
