How to Add New Variations to Existing Variable Products?
- Go to All Import › New Import.
- Upload the import file with the new variations.
- Choose New Items > WooCommerce Products as the import type.
- When setting up the import, use the I'm importing new variations to existing products option in the Variations tab.
- Run the import and check that all new variations are present as expected.
The I'm importing new variations to existing products option is only available in a New Items import. To match the new variations with an existing variable parent product, you can use the product's title or any custom field. You can also use the Create new product if no existing product is found option to handle those situations.
What's the Best Way to Handle Variable Products?
Variable products are stored in a specific manner. To avoid issues or damaging your products, you should have a master import that you can re-run and allows handling all products from a single master file. You should also use the New Items import type, as it's the only import type that can add/remove variations for variable products.
What Add-Ons Do I Need to Bulk Edit WooCommerce Product Variations?
To bulk edit WooCommerce product variations, you need to have both the WooCommerce Import Add-On and the WooCommerce Export Add-On active on your site, along with WP All Import and WP All Export.
