Migrating Products from Vendor Catalog to Woocommerce

  • Hey ya’ll this is more of a general WooCommerce question than a WP question.

    I have a bunch of different spreadsheet from vendors that have their entire product list.

    I have a product taxonomy that I created in woocommerce.

    I need someone to go through each product and decide on the taxonomy(ies), tags, meta-data, perform some image manipulations, etc. so I can get the data from the vendor spreadsheets into the woocommerce database.

    How are people solving this problem?

    Thanks!

    If you want feedback or suggestions from other store owners you might want to post on one of the Facebook user groups.

    – Advanced WooCommerce

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Mike, I didn’t know about those groups.

    What I’m really trying to find out is whether or not the community would find value in a basic Product Information Management (PIM) system.

    I ended up putting one together for an internal project and now I’m thinking that this is a universal problem for anyone with a good number of SKUs (>500) that needs to perform a process on each product in their shop (categorizing, writing titles, meta-descriptions, product descriptions, image manipulation and touch up, etc.).

    What I’ve created is a product “assembly line” that allows store owners to upload vendor data and push that out to a scalable workforce to do the heavy lifting of performing a defined process on each product—and then once the process is complete getting that data into the appropriate woocommerce DB tables. It’s great for a startup store to seed data or for shop owners that want a better way to maintain their data.

    The alternative has always been a lot of excel sheets and SQL.

    Would love your feedback, I’ve been reading your articles on WooC for several years now and know you have deep expertise on this subject.

    There are bulk editors, CSV plugins which can merge, etc etc. Thats really why I sent you to the group; to see what store owners are using. I’m not a store owner, just a dev ??
