Upload Woocomerce Products With Excel And Local Images?

Introduction

In the world of e-commerce, efficiency is key.
WooCommerce is a popular e-commerce plugin for WordPress that allows store owners to manage and sell products online. However, managing a large inventory or updating product details regularly can be time-consuming when done manually through the WordPress dashboard.

Problem And Solution

Many WooCommerce store owners handle large product inventories, which include diverse categories, variable products, and numerous attributes.
Regularly bulk updating prices, stock, descriptions, or adding new products using the WooCommerce interface can be hard, particularly for those with large catalogs. Moreover, during peak sales periods like Black Friday or Cyber Monday, the ability to bulk update products quickly and accurately becomes crucial.

Current Solution

Excel is a tool familiar to most, used widely across various industries for data management due to its flexibility and powerful features. Many store owners already use Excel or similar spreadsheet software to keep track of inventory, pricing strategies, and other critical data offline.
Typically, the process involves manually uploading each image to the media library, copying the link, and then linking it back in the Excel sheet before import, this is very time-consuming.

Introducing My Plugin

Features
