Hi,

I am trying to import products via the built-in woocommerce import.
I have products with variants, most have 1 attribute but some have 2 attributes.

I am not achiveing to import the second attribute and I don’t understand how to map that field inside the import wizard. Because in the built-in import wizard only generic attribute fields appear but not specific fields for each attribute so I’m a bit confused.

In resume, i cannot import more than one attribute and don`t know why.

Thanks in advanced for any help and recommendations

To import product variations you actually the following addon:

https://woocommerce.com/products/product-csv-import-suite/

since the built-in import system won’t deal with variations.

Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with! 🙂

Thanks for your answer, but there is not any work around?

Ack, sorry! I think I misread your initial post. To correct myself:

The core WooCommerce plugin has built-in import/export functionality that can import products, including variable products and variations, without the need for another plugin.

There’s a guide for using it here:

https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/

You would need to make sure your CSV column headers and values are matching the schema described here:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema

There’s an example file you can use as a reference here:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/sample-data

Please try that out and let us know how it goes. 🙂

Thanks again for your quick answer, i will try this.
But nevertheless my main question is how to map multiple attributes since built-in importer functionality only presents generic fields for attributes to be maped. I mean, it does not offer you a set of fields for each different attribute that exists in the csv. As you can see in this image: https://ibb.co/SmhjPVd

(sorry, my wordpress is in Spanish).

Hi, Adam.

I was checking at https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema but it´s not clear the schema for a second attribute.

And in relation of what you said “You would need to make sure your CSV column headers and values are matching the schema described here”. My wordpress is in spanish and my headers also. Could be the language a problem?

And do you now, when you star importing, woocommerce asks for mapping csv columns with a list of fields but it is not offering me specific fields for Attribute 2.

Thanks a lot in advanced for your help
