Product attributes not set for variation

Hi there!

It is likely that the CSV is missing some data here.

Here’s a sample CSV file you can try to format your file: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/sample-data/sample_products.csv

I follow the instructions in Product CSV Importer and Exporter – Documentation to import the attributes as well.

Alternatively, you can create a new variable product on your store, complete with variations and attributes set up, and then export it to see the values you’d want to configure in the CSV that you’re importing.

is importing with parent id or parent SKU a different thing ? i tried particular data many times with parent id, it didnt work even if the other data with same data format worked out but then i tried with parent sku and it worked for me.

is importing with parent id or parent SKU a different thing ?

Yes, it is. Basically, parent ID refers to the post ID, and it can be (will be, in most cases) different from site to site. If you’re updating an existing product, parent ID would work just the same, but since SKUs don’t change, they’re more reliable.

I’m glad you were able to fix things by using SKU. I’ll mark this topic as solved for now. Please feel free to open a new topic if you have any other questions.
