Error on importing image from Google drive to Woocommerce through import sheet

Hi there,

You’re using a path to a script that forces the image download when accessing directly, while the CSV file should contain a link to an actual image (https://server.comain/folder/image_file.ext)

I trued with https://viaalux.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/AEMIC_CRX016-49-03_Front.jpg as well. The product info got imported without the image. @corsonr What are my options with a public image hosting service that I can have clients upload images to and add those links to the csv sheet that woocommerce uses for bulk import. Would be great if you could please point me in the right direction

Hey,

Importing images can be tricky, in that case, I’d suggest you bulk download the images from Google Drive, and upload them to the server the site is on, and then use a local path as pe our docs here:

@corsonr Thanks much for your response. That looks like a feasible option to me since I can have people add just the image name.

So Am I right in assuming that link imports will not work (if the Link is to an external service?) If it should, could you share a service that it should work with? Sorry about asking again! I am just trying to make sure that we adapt the right way here.

Hey,

As you can see here https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-import-suite-faq-troubleshooting/#section-9 you can definitely load images from a URL, in that case, images get copied to the second server. I can’t tell which hosting services do work and which do not.

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
