    Hi there!

    I’ve installed the plugin Woocommerce – Product bundles

    As I am working in a shoe company and my boss needs to setup some pack of shoes (pack of some product variations).

    I found a way to do that with this plugin but.. is there any way to bulk import product?

    I’m setting up a website in which the product bundle plugin is required.
    Due to the very large amount of bundled products to setup along with the very large amount of variable product to link to them, I would like to know
    1. if there is any way to csv bulk link variable products to a bundle product and
    2. if there is a way to bulk csv import bundled products as well.

    I really would be grateful if anyone got any answer/tricks.

    Thanks.

    We’ve run into a similar situation, but the only real solution that we’ve come across is here, https://www.xadapter.com/woocommerce-import-and-export-of-bundle-products/. Although, the new v5 of bundled products has a completely different db structure, so we’re working with XAdapter, (the developer for the above plugin) support right now for a code snippet to allow the feature to work with v5.

    Hi @jmwebdesign!

    Thanks for your answer, did you find any solution at the end? I’ve updated to the new version of product bundle and boom.. my tweak doesn’t work anymore!! So annoying after hours spent on it what’s the f** idea to change the way it works, these guys should think of their customer already using the plugin first.. I think this is also because of the new woocommerce version.

    Anyway I am stuck with a website because of this tricky plugin.

    Hey @bkseen!

    We have had some very good correspondences with support of the mentioned import plugin by XAdapter. What eventually happened, is that they gave us a snippet of code that we plugged into the functions.php file (I’m no developer so this is a readers digest version) and they sent us v 3.1.6 (I see v3.2 is now available as of 04/04 though, but the changelog doesn’t mention addressing our issue) and the combo of the 2 seems to be working, but I cannot say for sure yet, because the data for import that we inherited is bundled products v4 and we now are operating on v5. So we’re on pause again, hopefully we can get the data in v5 soon.

    Hope that helps.

    Hey @jmwebdesigns.

    I’ve found the field which is a “hidden metadata” that I have exported with ”
    WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite    ” from WooCommerce.

    I found the new architecture of the product in the following Hidden metadata: “_bundled_items_db_data”. I’m still struggling to try to import directly in this hidden field in my “CUSTOM FIELD” tab with WPAI but it looks like not working.

    The answer from WPAI team:
    We should be able to import into it, but you’ll likely need to import your data to regular custom fields and then use our API ( http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/action-reference/ ) to update the ‘_bundled_items_db_data’ field.

    That being said, it sounds like the structure of the data might have changed for the plugin, which could cause this issue. If you’d like us to take a look at how the bundles plugin is storing data and advise on how to import the same, please manually set up a bundled product at http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/ and open a support ticket at http://www.wpallimport.com/support/. Be sure to include a link to this ticket for reference.

    But no answer from them yet 🙁

    Not really keen to install another plugin except if I am sure XAdapter is working yet?

    Hey,

    Well it’s been a bit of a difficult road, but with some really good support from xAdapter, I think that we’re ALMOST there. I can export bundles and import bundles, but there’s just one little bug, I’m yet to be able to import bundles in such a way that it modifies the existing products in a bundle, but I would expect that we would have this fixed in a few days.

    At this point? I’m 70% confident that we’ll get there, up from ~40%. The real test will be when I get a list of 500+ bundles and then attempt the final import that isn’t a single test bundle.
