Create product attributes whenn importing product

Hi @samysalahgad,

When you’re importing your products, you can mark an attribute as global by using the attribute # global column as 1. For instance, check on our sample CSV for such columns:

https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/trunk/plugins/woocommerce/sample-data/sample_products.csv

Then map that column on the importer respectively, like so:

I hope this helps!

I dont import using WordPress or Woocommerce utility

I import from different dropshipping compnaies like cjdropshipping

So there is no option to mark attribute as global

Hi @samysalahgad,

If you’re not using a WooCommerce core feature or extension then I’m afraid this is beyond our support scope and you should reach to the third-party developers to ask for more details on how to implement this, or for them to ensure compatibility with global attributes if they don’t have it yet.

Can you reommend a plugin to filter by local product attributes, not global attributes

Hi @samysalahgad

I would recommend checking the Product Filters for WooCommerce plugin. This plugin allows you to create filters by any attribute and gives you the flexibility to use local product attributes for your filter criteria.

Please let us know if you need further assistance or have any other questions. We’re here to help!

Hey @shameemreza

Thanks for your recommendation, I have checked the plugin documentation and nothing related to local product attributes

https://woocommerce.com/document/product-filters/

Local attributes should be like tags, can be accessed from outsides the product, I tried the best way to make filter is to add tags inside the products and build filtering criteria based on tags not attributes but it means much work to add the color and size as tags inside each product

But until now no one feature on Woocommerce and no one plugin help make filters by local product attributes

Thank you

For anyone who face same problem you can download any sheet editor plugin and copy the content of local attribute colums to the global attribute colum this make the attributes available of global attributes to use for filtering ??
