Importin variables via export pro

harppa

Hello!
Just started using your product and it is very nice.
Now in the process of learning how to use the import tool to import new variable products. Compared to the woocommerce normal import tool it is somewhat confusing. In the normal woocommerce imput things are divided with , so for example if variable has different colos its black, blue etc. same for categories etc. Is there a simplified way in this or just something to get used ot? Looking at the export file where the parent products are first and then at the bottom of the list are all the variables and for example on colors there are columns like this {"vari":"Keltainen","koko":"Medium\/Large"} or {"vari":"Dark olive\/black","koko":"Extra Extra Large"}
I am struggling to create a template simple enough that I could teach it to the rest of our team and not having to be too worried for mistakes. I could use the Woocommerce standard importer just to import new items and then just use export pro to keep everything up to date (new products dont come every day or even every week)
Anyway if you understand what I try to ask and have an answer I would be happy to hear 🙂
Anyway very nice product and will for sure be of use for us!

Hi harppa ,

Please note that variations can have distinct attributes, and ATUM Export PRO needs to know which attribute you want to import the values to.

We think that using a standard format is the best way to include various name/value pairs in the same field. The values you pasted in your post are encoded in a JSON object. You can use any of the JSON formatters available online to generate a JSON string with the variation attributes.

However, we're open to suggestions to make our plugin easier to use.

Best Regards,
José Andrés
