and export: Products, Product Reviews, Product Tags, and Product Categories.

**DOWNLOAD**

 * [Sample CSV of Products](https://www.webtoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Basic-Product_WooCommerce_Sample_CSV.csv)
 * [Sample CSV of Product Reviews](https://www.webtoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Sample-CSV-of-product_review.csv)
 * [Sample CSV of Product Tags](https://www.webtoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Sample-CSV-with-product-tags.csv)
 * [Sample CSV of Product Categories](https://www.webtoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Sample-CSV-of-product-categories.csv)

The WooCommerce CSV importer plugin takes a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file as
input. You must create a CSV (UTF-8 Encoded) file and enter the product details 
in a structured format.

This is to match each field of a CSV file to the field of a particular product, 
which otherwise the Admin needs to input manually. For example, the post_title field
gets mapped to the product name, and the regular_price field gets mapped to the 
regular price of the product.

You can create the CSV from scratch or export products to get the format of the 
CSV. You can use a spreadsheet program, such as LibreOffice, Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice,
or Google Sheets, to create and modify the CSV file. Save this file with the extension“.
CSV.”

After entering all details about products in a spreadsheet, you can import products
to your WooCommerce store. With this plugin, you can also export products to CSV
and download product details as a CSV.

default export tools by mapping all default fields automatically. However, due to
the data format difference in the CSV, attribute fields aren’t supported at the 
moment. To successfully import the attributes, you can alter the attribute columns.

files, along with WebToffee’s import plugins, I was easily able to migrate! Thanks
