importing multiple product images

This is how error failed import looks like:
“

Import complete! Failed to import 77 products. View import log. File uploaded: a5.csvProductReason for failure

FRANCE 50 sols 1793 VF, SKU 13.000.071Error getting remote image https://monetalis.hr/riad/wp-admin/images/13.000.078(4).jpg. Error: Not Found

“

Instead of uploading only images that are found (have correct url) and ignores urls without images, entire import fails.

Is it possible to change it to: If 1 image not found on remote – Do not import that one image and Import rest of the images and import that product without missing image?

Hi @barrex

Currently, WooCommerce does not support the partial import of images where some URLs are invalid or non-existent. When WooCommerce encounters a non-existent URL during the import process, it will fail the entire import.

However, you can modify your script to check if the images exist before creating the CSV file. This way, you can ensure that only valid URLs are included in the CSV file for import. You can use PHP’s function file_exists() or get_headers() to check if an image URL is valid or not.

Just so you know, our support staff, including myself, are not developers who could help create custom code according to our Support Policy related to customizations. Therefore, if you need help with custom development tasks, we recommend asking development questions on the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question.

Alternatively, you can use an additional plugin like WooCommerce Product CSV Import Suite or WP All Import plugin. This extension allows the import of thousands of products and supports complex products and custom data from plugins. This might help you to automate the product upload process more effectively and handle errors better.

I hope this provides some clarity on the matter. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

@barrex and @shameem, I just want to share that our Ultimate CSV importer plugin also supports WooCommerce data import. Kindly check the below link,

You can import WooCommerce products, Variations, orders, customers, subscription products and coupons.

Thank you all for the answers.
