Importing Product Variations to WooCommerce for free

I am trying to import variations to my shop but it’s not working. Any help appreciated. I have created a bunch of products that have the attributes and variations I want to have. I exported those and used them as the template for the .csv file to import. I was able to create the parent products, but it won’t accept the child variations or create them.

I think that one of two things are going on:
1. you have to have a paid plugin to make it work (yuk, wrong!)
or
2. I’m missing one or two vital pieces of information in my .csv. Sure hoping it’s this one.

So, my .csv file has all the fields populated EXCEPT product id. But that seems to be automatically assigned by woocommerce so I can’t see how that can help.

Any thoughts?

It seemed like the “Parent” field was important, that one for my existing product variations always had the parent id formated “id:3639” so I included that in all my new variations and used the id of the correct parent.

I’m frustrated. If I have to do this by hand, so be it, it’s not like I have gazillions of products. But it’s frustrating. Any help really appreciated.

Thanks!
