Compatibility with Webtoffee Import Export Suite

    Hey! I want to start by saying that FIFU is an absolutely amazing plugin. It literally fixes the one thing nobody else seems to fix, and does it perfectly!

    I’m absolutely sold as a customer, but I have one single issue with it, if possible: can you please help me make it compatible with Webtoffee Import Export Suite for WooCommerce?

    Even if I map the attributes correctly (attribute:fifu_image_url to the external image link field), it seems to somehow add it as a Meta Attribute (under a product’s other meta attributes, such as Size, Brand, etc.), and not on the right side (within the product edit dashboard), where the Featured Image would be.

    Any way to fix this? I’d appreciate it loads!

    Thank you kindly!

    Hi, @neval123.

    Where can I download “Webtoffee Import Export Suite for WooCommerce”? I’ll check if it’s possible to make an integration.

    Even if I map the attributes correctly (attribute:fifu_image_url to the external image link field)

    What you are doing won’t work. You are setting 1 custom field only. Many other database registers need to be created in order to display a featured image. If you want to work with custom fields, this feature is required:

    FIFU Settings > Metadata > Schedule Metadata Generation

    Thank you so much for your time and for getting back to me!

    Sorry, forgot to link to it. The Webtoffee Import/Export plugin can be found here – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/product-import-export-for-woo/

    Thanks for the link, @neval123.

    It seems its free version doesn’t support custom fields, right? Are you using a PRO version?

    Nope, I’m using the Free version. It supports all existent fields and attributes on the website (including custom ones generated by the Theme, such as Brands, Size, Color, etc.). For example, it picks up all of the FIFU custom fields, including fifu_image_url, which I map to the External Image URL image column of the .CSV product file.

    I have installed the free version, but custom fields are not available for me.

    The page you sent me says it’s only available in the Premium version:

    PREMIUM VERSION FEATURES

    Export/Import simple, variable, grouped, external, subscription, and custom product types.
    Export/Import WooCommerce bookings.
    Export/Import custom fields(meta), third-party plugin fields and hidden meta.

    If you think the documentation is wrong, please access FIFU > Status. Copy and send me that.

    I’ve actually tried it now with WP All Import and it works like a charm! Bless you, FIFU is an amazing plugin, congratulations for creating something nobody in the world was able to! <3

    One last question if I may:

    When I import for example 1000 affiliate products (all of them with 1000 external images), and after a few months, 500 of those products are out of stock, how would I go about clearing their image data for just those 500?

    What I mean is, the 500 out of stock products, I’ll delete them from WooCommerce -> Products, to replace them with a new import of 1000 products for example. But what about their 500 External Images database entries? How would I go about clearing that? Or can I just ignore it and it clears itself?

    Thank you so much!

    Thanks, @neval123.

    When you delete a post or post type like WooCommerce product, WordPress automatically deletes all database registers related to the deleted post/product, which includes image URLs and ALTs saved by FIFU. So you don’t need to do anything.
