Import/export
↑ Back to topIntroduction
↑ Back to topPrice and Stock Import allows you to easily update product price and stock in your store from an easy to understand CSV spreadsheet.
You simply export all your product’s price and stock data in one click, open the exported CSV on your computer, make changes to the price and stock data and import.
There aren’t endless of columns of data to understand as it shows basic product identifiers with price and stock columns only.
Usage
↑ Back to top- From the Products menu in your dashboard select Price and Stock Import
- Click the export button to download a CSV of all product price and stock data
- Make changes to the CSV using spreadsheet software and save as a plain text CSV
- Select the file and click import test
- Review the data to check the data which will be updated
- Return to the previous page and click the import button
- Import will begin and progress will be shown, do not close the window but you can work in other browser tabs while waiting for it to complete
- Once the import has completed your price/stock data will be updated
The manage stock setting in WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Inventory must be enabled for stocks to be imported and therefore this setting will automatically be enabled upon importing if it is currently disabled.
If a product is updated from no previous stock level (e.g. manage stock disabled) to now having a stock level and the product did not previously have manage stock enabled this will be enabled on the product automatically during import.
Modes
↑ Back to topThere are 2 modes which effect your export and import to match products in your CSV to products in your store:
- ID exports products showing the ID as the first column
- SKU exports products showing the SKU as the first column (should only be used if all products in your store have a unique SKU)
BETA functionality
↑ Back to topWe may occasionally include BETA functionality, this is highlighted with a (BETA) label. Functionality with this label should be used with caution and is only recommended to be tested on a staging/development environment. The functionality is included so users can test the functionality/provide feedback before it becomes stable, at which point the (BETA) label will be removed. Note that there may be occasions where BETA functionality is determined unsuitable for use and removed entirely.
Caching
↑ Back to topIf you are using any form of caching then it is recommended that the cache lifespan/expiry should be set to 10 hours or less. This is recommended by most major caching solutions to avoid potential issues with WordPress nonces.
Screen sizes
↑ Back to top- Frontend: Where elements may be displayed they will fit within the screen width
- Backend: Where interfaces may be displayed it is recommended to use a desktop computer with a resolution of 1920×1080 or higher, for lower resolutions any interfaces will attempt to fit within the screen width but some elements may be close together and/or larger than the screen width

This is because, while usually unlikely, the other product may have changed functionality which effects this product.
FAQs
↑ Back to topHow long do imports take?
↑ Back to topThis depends on how many rows you importing and the performance of your hosting, generally each row will take approx 0.5-1 seconds to import.
Do I need to import all my products?
↑ Back to topThe exported CSV includes all your products, but you don’t need to include the rows which haven’t been changed, these can be removed from your CSV to be imported but ensure you keep first row containing the column headings. Removing rows which haven’t been changed will make importing your CSV much faster.
