Note that the product image URLs are included in the CSV file when you export your Shopify products. You need to keep your Shopify store live until the import process is completed to ensure that the product images are successfully imported to your WooCommerce store. To learn more about exporting your Shopify products, read Shopify\u2019s exporting products<\/a> guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While WooCommerce offers a native importer tool, it has several limitations, especially when importing Shopify products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your best option is to use the WP All Import plugin<\/a>, which offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface that makes importing products easy for users at any experience level. Once installed and activated on your WooCommerce website, you can complete the import of thousands of products from your Shopify store within minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we have established that WP All Import is the ultimate solution for importing products from Shopify to WooCommerce, in this section, we will show you how to use the plugin to import your Shopify products easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To start importing your Shopify products to WooCommerce, you must first purchase and download the WP All Import plugin and its WooCommerce add-on<\/a>. The WooCommerce Add-On is important because it allows you to import all WooCommerce products and data types into your online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once both the plugin and add-on are downloaded on your PC, go to your WordPress admin dashboard and follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repeat the same steps to install and activate the WooCommerce Import Add-On.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After installing and activating the plugin and add-on, you are set to create your first import of Shopify products to WooCommerce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Navigate to All Import \u203a New Import <\/strong>from your WordPress admin menu to create a new Shopify to WooCommerce product import. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click Upload a file<\/strong> to upload the CSV file of your exported Shopify product data. WP All Import provides two other ways to load your product data. You can Download a file<\/strong> from a URL or FTP\/SFTP, or choose Use existing file<\/strong> to import data from a previously uploaded file. Once you have loaded the import file of your Shopify product data, under New Items<\/strong>, select WooCommerce Products <\/strong>as the import type. Then click Continue to Step 2<\/strong> to proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From the Review Import File <\/strong>screen, you can review your exported Shopify product data to be sure that WP All Import accurately detected all fields. Use the gray left and right arrows to navigate between records and review the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scrolling down the screen reveals the Manage Filtering Options<\/strong> panel, which contains WP All Import\u2019s powerful filtering feature for importing only specific products from your Shopify product data import file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you want to import only products with a \u201cpublished\u201d status from your Shopify store, you can create a filter for this. Select the Element <\/strong>containing your products' publish status, select equals<\/em> as the filter Rule,<\/strong> and input the Value<\/strong>. Next, click Add Rule \u203a Apply Filters to XPath <\/strong>and the filter will be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can add multiple filters if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have reviewed the import file and created relevant filters, click Continue to Step 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Drag & Drop<\/strong> screen allows you to execute the most important step of the import process easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your Shopify product data is listed in a table on the right of the screen, while the WooCommerce fields are listed on the left. WP All Import provides a drag-and-drop interface to ensure that you can easily map your Shopify product data into the WooCommerce fields whether you are a beginner or an advanced user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by mapping your products\u2019 Title & Description<\/strong> by dragging and dropping the title and description elements from your incoming product file into the provided WooCommerce fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, open the WooCommerce Add-Ons<\/strong> panel to set your incoming Product Type<\/strong> and map the corresponding fields. WP All Import allows you to import all standard WooCommerce product types including Simple, Grouped, External\/Affiliate & Variable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once your Product Type<\/strong> is set, map the relevant data to the fields in the General <\/strong>tab which is opened by default. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the General tab, you will find additional tabs that allow you to import other product data, such as Inventory, Shipping, and Linked Products. Navigate to each tab, and simply drag and drop the elements from your incoming data file into the appropriate fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you set your Product Type<\/strong> as Variable product<\/strong>, a new Variations<\/strong> tab is added to the WooCommerce add-on panel. You can map incoming elements in <\/strong>the Attributes and Variations tabs to define how WP All Import should handle importing your products with variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The file generated by Shopify with your variable products has to be handled using a workaround, which we explain in detail here: Importing Variable Products from Shopify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Attributes<\/strong> tab is where you set the attributes for your product variations. You can add attributes by specifying a Name<\/strong> and mapping the corresponding element from your incoming product data file into the Value<\/strong> field. When using the Shopify exported file, the names are passed through a function, and the value corresponds to the option values you have available for your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You also have Advanced<\/strong> options to specify other settings for your product attributes including whether they should be used in variations, set as visible, created as a taxonomy, and auto-created if the term does not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is just an example of how that section is set up, but you should use the workaround linked above and adjust it to import the attributes correctly from your Shopify file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Variations<\/strong> tab contains the settings for your product variations. WP All Import provides five variation options with image examples to help you choose the closest match to your file structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have chosen the right variation option, map the relevant elements into the provided fields. You can then review the extra options provided beneath the section and decide whether to tweak the default settings or leave it as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve completed mapping all the relevant tabs as needed, you can proceed to the next panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read about the entire workaround required to import variable products from Shopify here: Importing Variable Products from Shopify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open the Images<\/strong> panel to reveal the fields and settings for mapping your product images. WP All Import allows you to import your product images in three different ways. You can Download images hosted elsewhere, Use images currently in Media Library, or Use images currently uploaded in wp-content\/uploads\/wpallimport\/files\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you are importing your products from Shopify and only the image URLs are included in your CSV export file, you should select the Download images hosted elsewhere<\/strong> option for your import. Then drag and drop the image URL element from your incoming data file into the image URL field provided to map your product images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will see some additional Image Options<\/strong> within the panel. The default settings are ideal for most imports, but you can change them if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To map your product categories and tags, scroll down to the Taxonomies, Categories, Tags <\/strong>panel and open it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select Product categories<\/strong> and Product tags<\/strong> to reveal each of their mapping options and fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Product categories<\/strong>, three options are provided. You can specify if each Product has just one category, Each product has multiple product categories, or if Products have hierarchical (parent\/child) product categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For Product tags, you can select if Each Product has just one tag <\/strong>or if Each product has multiple product tags.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have made the most relevant selection for your import, map the product category and tag elements from your incoming product data file into the fields provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WP All Import provides additional add-ons and panels such as Custom Fields<\/strong>, Function Editor,<\/strong> Other Product Options<\/strong>, to map other product details as needed. However, we will not detail those other panels in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After fully mapping all the relevant fields for your Shopify product import, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Continue to Step 4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WP All Import provides additional settings on the Import Settings<\/strong> screen to define how your product import should run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First, click the Auto-detect<\/strong> button to generate a Unique Identifier<\/strong> for your import. The Unique Identifier<\/strong> is important as it enables WP All Import to correctly link records in your current import to those in an updated file if you run the import again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the other options provided within the panel, you can also define how WP All Import should handle each record in the import file. You can keep the default selections or change them as you see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other panels provided on the screen are Scheduling Options<\/strong> and Configure Advanced Settings<\/strong>. The Scheduling Options<\/strong> panel allows you to schedule your product imports to run automatically on specific days and times. You can learn more about import scheduling<\/a> from the documentation guide on WP All Import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click Continue<\/strong> to proceed to the final step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Confirm & Run<\/strong> screen is the final step of the Shopify to WooCommerce product import process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n WP All Import summarizes all the import settings you have applied so far on this screen. Check the settings to ensure your import will run seamlessly. If you notice any issues, you can go back and make changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there are no issues, click the Confirm & Run Import<\/strong> button to start the import process. Once the import is completed, you will see an Import Complete<\/strong> notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Navigate to Products \u203a All Products<\/strong> to see your imported products. Open the product tabs of a few products to double-check that all the data is imported correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, importing products from Shopify to WooCommerce is straightforward and efficient with the WP All Import plugin.
