Pricing

You may have seen some references on our site to annual licensing or renewals.

All plugins currently come with a lifetime license, no matter what the site says.

We’re currently running tests before we make the switch to annual pricing. Check the Discounts tab to purchase our other plugins and get a lifetime license before they’re gone.

I Understand I Have a Lifetime License
Now is your last chance to buy a lifetime license before we switch to annual pricing. Existing licenses will be unaffected.

Import WooCommerce Products with Images

To import WooCommerce products with images, create a new import process via All Import › New Import. After choosing your import file, make sure to map your image fields in the Images section. You can choose different ways to import your images.

Table of Contents

Advanced Topics

Step 1: Create a New Product Import

Navigate to All Import › New Import, upload or choose your import file, then select New Items > WooCommerce Products as the import type.

Import Products with Images New Import

Click Continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Review the Import File

Here, you'll see the products and images that will be imported. You can choose a different node when importing XML or change the delimiter with CSV files.

Import Products with Images and Review Import File

Near the end of the page, you can add filtering options using the Manage Filtering Options section (not shown). Once done, click on Continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Map the Incoming Data Elements to the Product Fields

You'll now see the Drag & Drop interface, where you can map the import data to WooCommerce fields. To do so, drag and drop the import data elements from the right panel to their appropriate fields in the left section.

Title & Description Section

Start by mapping the title and description for your WooCommerce products.

Next, expand the WooCommerce Add-On section.

WooCommerce Add-On Section

This section lets you define everything about the products you're importing. You first define the Product Type, though it can be left with its default selection.

Import Products with Images WooCommerce Add On Section

To learn in-depth how to set up this section, see WooCommerce Add-On Section.

Images Section

This is where you define how to import your products with images. Here's how this section looks:

Import Products with Images See Images Section

Download images hosted elsewhere

This option is selected by default. It lets you input an image URL, using either the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, to download and add to both your Media Library and your imported product. You can input one URL per line or separate multiple URLs with commas.

Use images currently in Media Library

This option lets you import image filenames to match with existing images in your Media Library.

Use images currently uploaded in wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/files/

This is the last option. It also lets you import image filenames to match with images, but you'll match the names found in the /wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/files/ folder. You can also use subfolders within this folder to keep images ordered.

Images Options

These options are available in the Images section and can be left alone if you don't want to modify the default behavior:

  • Search through the Media Library for existing images before importing new images
  • Keep images currently in Media Library 
  • Scan through post content and import images wrapped in <img> tags
  • Set the first image to the Featured Image (_thumbnail_id)
  • If no images are downloaded successfully, create entry as Draft.

If you're not certain what an option does, check its help tooltip.

SEO & Advanced Options

This is found near the end of the Images section and lets you define the metadata for the imported images. You can also change the image filename and extension here:

Import Products with Images SEO and Advanced Options

Other Sections

There are other sections to fill in when setting up your import for products with images, such as Custom FieldsOther Product Options, etc. However, we won't cover them here.

Once all data elements have been mapped, click Continue to Step 4 at the bottom (not shown).

Step 4: Configure the Import Settings

The Import Settings screen appears now, where you can modify the import configuration. First, click on Auto-detect to generate a unique identifier automatically.

Import Products with Images Import Settings

In the section below that, you can define how the import behaves when it runs again, i.e., to create, update, or delete existing records.

The next panels are Scheduling Options and Configure Advanced Settings. However, these can be left alone for now.

To proceed, click Continue.

Step 5: Run the Import and Verify the Imported Data

WP All Import will show the Confirm & Run screen next, which lets you review an import summary:

Import Products with Images Confirm and Run

Once you confirm everything is okay, click Confirm & Run Import to run the import. The following notice will appear when the import completes:

Import Products with Images Import Complete

You should then navigate to Products › All Products to check that your import worked as expected:

Import Products with Images All Products

That's it!

  • Price & stock
  • Images & galleries

Import Products With Images – Advanced Topics

Import Extra Images to Product Variations

Out of the box, variable products only allow one image per variation. However, there are plugins that modify this behavior. For example, when either of the following is installed:

To accommodate this situation, simply enable the Import additional variation images option:

Import Products with Images Additional Variation Images

If you use a different plugin, you'll need to write some code that uses our pmxi_gallery_image hook to import the additional variation images into it.

Troubleshoot Import Product Images

If the product images don't import correctly, you can troubleshoot by doing the following:

  • Check the History Log to understand the error and act accordingly.
  • When importing from an URL, check that the image exists and can be downloaded programmatically.
  • While editing the template, whatever option you choose to import images, use the Preview button to test that the images work as expected.

Import Images From an FTP or SFTP Source

You can import images stored in an FTP or SFTP source by using a custom code to fetch the images. For example, you can adapt the following code: Workaround for Importing from FTP to fetch the images from your FTP source:

[custom_file_download("http://example.com/full/path/to/image-file.jpg","jpg")]

Here is the usage:

Import Products with Images From FTP

Offload Images From WordPress to Other Services

Out of the box, all images will be automatically downloaded to WordPress, and it's not possible to avoid this behavior. That said, there are third-party plugins capable of offloading imported images to another service, such as an Amazon S3 bucket. In other words, after the image has been imported to WordPress, then it gets offloaded.
