New field “GTIN, UPC, EAN, or ISBN”, not able to import

@christianpon

For importing, there is no need of a code snippet but a slight modification to the export code snippet is needed. Please see the updated code snippet below ( try an export after that ) and do an import with the exported file.

add_filter('woocommerce_product_export_column_names', 'add_custom_gtin_export_column');
function add_custom_gtin_export_column($columns) {
    $columns['global_unique_id'] = 'meta:_global_unique_id';
    return $columns;
}

add_filter('woocommerce_product_export_product_row', 'add_custom_gtin_export_row', 10, 3);
function add_custom_gtin_export_row($row, $product, $product_id) {
    $gtin_value = get_post_meta($product_id, '_global_unique_id', true);

    $row['global_unique_id'] = !empty($gtin_value) ? $gtin_value : ''; 

    return $row;
}

Works like a charm, many many thanks!

Excuse my questions. Where would you please this code snippet? I too would like to import/export this field using the native import/export function. I’m wondering why It wasn’t included when roling out the feature.

Hi @technicalheadwear,

Thank you for bringing this up!

This issue is on our end, but I’m happy to share that it’s already been addressed and a fix will be included in an upcoming WooCommerce release. You can keep an eye on the WooCommerce changelog to confirm when the solution is rolled out: WooCommerce Changelog.

Where would you please this code snippet??

To add the code, you can use a third-party plugin like Code Snippets, which is user-friendly and avoids directly editing theme files. Alternatively, you can add the code to your theme’s functions.php file.

If you choose this route, remember to create a backup of your site or use a child theme to prevent accidental issues with your main theme.

I hope this helps!

Thank you very much for this great reply. I have code snippet already installed. I’ll use your code until it’s natively released.

Kind Regards,
Edward

Hey Edward,

Sounds like a plan!

Feel free to start your own topic if you need any further help. ??
