    Hello guys 🙂
    i Have problem importing my products for restaurant menu on my site.
    I have lot of variants and creating them one by one would take forever ..
    Can someone explain how to succesfuly import them by CSV?
    I am trying to create good parent-child relation (example on 1 product with 3 variations)
    i end up with only 1 product(parent).

    Hi there,

    Usually am trying to create good parent-child relation (example on 1 product with 3 variations)

    Usually, this is due to the .CSV being improperly formatted. What I like to suggest is to first, create one variable product within WooCommerce, then export it- doing this will give you the correct .CSV formatting to use as a guide.

    If you get stuck, the following should point you in the right direction- https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/

    But let us know if you run into any roadblocks!

    Best,

    Ross

    The easiest way would be to create a few products manually in WooCommerce then export them – that will give you a CSV file with all the correct formatting.

    You can import products and variations in a simple import.
