Export / import

Hi @pipoulito!

I’d suggest exporting all the products to a CSV either by using the default export/import feature that WooCommerce has by default or by utilizing a premium plugin like Product CSV Import Suite and then importing them the other side.

In both ways, you will be able to import the images as long as they are online and directly accessible.

Please check out this link with more details on how to import images: https://woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-import-suite-faq-troubleshooting/#section-9

Thank you!

Hi,
thanks but as i undestand in CSV images will have the absolute url in a column, so how can i import them ?

Should i understand not to use the default tools/export XMl ?

thanks

Hello,

You can import the images via CSV URLs (https://), the image is copied from the web URL into the wp-content/uploads, added to the WP Media library, then linked to the product.

Please note this can create duplicate images in case you import multiple times.

To get more information about each field in the CSV please refer to:
https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema

Should i understand not to use the default tools/export XMl ?

This method is optional and will depend on your needs.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Sorry but to clarify, could you tell me wich method do you recommend ?

1- Import/Export CSV built in
2- Tools/export XML (i have already used for post and works fine for images)
3- CSV import suite

About images, do you mean that if in URL columnn there is :
https://source.com/wp_content…Myimg.jpg
this image will be imported in the new media libray in https://destination.com

thanks

Hey @pipoulito

I would recommend using the Import/Export CSV built in especially if you are migrating from one woo-commerce website to another.

External URLs are supported and imported into the Media Library if used, provided the images are directly accessible and not behind a redirect script (as happens on some cloud storage services)

Better than CSV import suite too ?

As images are from wp_content to wp_content, i suppose it will wort, right ?

You can get the best answer to this question by submitting a presales ticket at https://woocommerce.com/my-account/create-a-ticket/ . You’d need to create an account if you do not have one.

From there, click on the tab “I have a question about a specific extension or theme I’d like to purchase.”

Just so you know, in the WooCommerce.com marketplace we offer a 30-day refund policy so you can test the extension and find out if it works for you.

As further assistance is to be provided via a ticket, I’ll go ahead and mark this thread as resolved.

Feel free to create a new topic if you have other questions related to core WooCommerce.
