Unable to import some attributes in woocomerce

    Basically, I want to import some extra fields like color, size, the material used, Quantity (For jewelry) as global attributes, so that these fields should be visible in the front end (product page) in the additional information/ anywhere else. I don’t know what should I name the columns of the CSV for these attributes, I implemented the best to my knowledge, and I also looked into the documentation and tried various things, but nothing worked. If you could help me with this, I will really appreciate : )

    Thanks and regards.

  • Easiest way would be to create the Global Attributes and then create a new product and add them manually.

    Export this product and you’ll see the columns that you need.

    I tried using your method but it didn’t work. Here is the csv of sample product.

    Here is the link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EYUWibwuvccQq6I6dc_VrDVTmNZ2kIZo/view?usp=sharing

    Please tell how can I fix it. Thanks!

    Your CSV file isn’t correct. Have a look at this: woo-sample.csv

    You need to tell the importer what product the variations belong to:

    Column A – Type – is it a variable product or a variation of that product
    Column C – Parent – the SKU of the product for each variation
    Column AM – Attribute 1 value(s) – for the variable product you need to list ALL of the variations available – for the variation you just need the one that is relevant to it.

    If the variable values don’t exist already, then they will be created during the import.

    Oh! Thanks for that. I was not aware of this.

    But my product is not a variable product and I just want to add some global attributes like in the google drive link.

    What changes should I make to that file to have the products imported perfectly?

    Thanks for your help!

    Sorry – misunderstood the question!

    You should be able to do it – what is happening when you try to import?

    Are the Product, Packaging ID etc attributes being created in the Products-Attributes screen?

    When I try to import, attributes are not getting displayed on the screen. But when I imported the file you provided attributes were visible.

    Attributes are not getting created. Product id, price, categories ate getting created (from my csv file). But attributes are not visible.

    OK, there should be a tab in the product called ‘Additional Information’ – yours just has Description and Reviews.

    The attributes should appear in there. Is there a setting in your theme that has disabled that?

    In you product in the Attributes tab is the ‘Visible On The Product Page’ box ticked? https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-product-taxonomies/#section-8

    Try adding weight in the Shipping tab too – see if that makes the Additional Information appear on the product ion the store.
