Import variants from Shopify

Hi @mpoppen,

First of all, welcome to the WooCommerce community!

As for importing variable products, are you using the built-in importer/exporter that comes with the core WooCommerce plugin? If yes, you’ll want to make sure that your CSV is formatted correctly. One way you can do that is by referring to the sample CSV file here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/master/sample-data

You also mentioned following step-by-step guides. If you haven’t already, you might want to look at this particular one: Product CSV Importer and Exporter. You can refer to the “Converting existing simple product to variable product” section to see how you should format your CSV.

In addition to the above, you may want to consider using this extension for migrating your store: Migrate & Import Shopify to WooCommerce.

I hope that helped, and do let us know if you continue running into issues!

To import variations the CSV has to be set up correctly – in particular there is a column called ‘Parent’ that needs the SKU of the variable product that the variations are part of.

The CSV format specs are here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema#csv-columns-and-formatting
