    Hello i am having trouble importing CSV which i created from your plugin to another site.
    the message is: “Importing product(ID) conflicts with an existing post which is not a product.”
    I have cleaned everything i could but i keep having the same issue. I am fairly new to wordpress so i don’t know what is happening and i didn’t find anything similar in your forums.
    here is the CSV:

    Hi @nickstav,

    It sounds like you’re trying to add these products to the new website rather than update products that already exist on it.

    If this is the case, you’ll want to remove the Product ID column of your CSV document. The site will assign each product an ID upon import.

    You should only include the Product ID if you’re trying to update a product that already exists on that site, say, for example, you want to change the price or the product description. The ID allows the system to realise that this is an existing product and then update it accordingly instead of creating a brand new product.

    I hope that clears up some of your confusion.

    Cheers.
