 * Hi.
    I am new to woocommerce so i could be doing something wrong!
 * I have got a CSV (currently with just 1 product for testing).
    When I upload 
   it, it gives me the column mapping. I assign my “product id” to “id”, “product
   name” to name”.
 * It says it imported, but when i view products, the “name” column says “Import
   placeholder for 972034”.
    (972034 being the products id).
 * Am I doing something wrong with that?
 * Thanks

 * Hi
 * Does the CSV and import module has the same delimiters set up?
    Read this section
   and might help: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-import-suite-importing-products/#section-2](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-import-suite-importing-products/#section-2)

 * Hi [@mark36ph](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mark36ph/)
 * As WPRiders mentioned, it’s likely the headers of the CSV causing the issue. 
   You could use the sample CSV provided on that documentation page as a guide for
   importing products.
