On the other hand, if you only want to move products, then this tutorial will help you learn how to properly export and import WooCommerce products with images and other product data.
We’ll show you two methods, you can choose one that works best for you.
Method 1. Import & Export WooCommerce Products without a Plugin
WooCommerce comes with built-in functionality to easily import and export products with images, but without using any additional plugins.
First, you need to visit the Products » All Products page in your WordPress admin area. There, you will see two buttons at the top to ‘Import’ or ‘Export’ products.
Let’s first check out how the export feature works.
Exporting WooCommerce Products without Using a Plugin
Simply click on the ‘Export’ button at the top to continue.
On the next screen, you’ll see a bunch of options to choose what data you want to export.
For instance, you can choose to only export certain columns from product data. You can also choose to export specific product types or products in specific categories.
To export all products with images and all other data, you can leave these options unchecked.
Optionally, you can check the ‘Export custom meta.’ If you are unsure, then it’s better to check it so that you have the data.
Go ahead and click on the ‘Generate CSV’ button to continue.
WooCommerce will now prepare a CSV file and download it to your computer.
What is a CSV File?
CSV is short for Comma Separated Values, and it is file type of plain text that separates different columns or fields of data with a comma.
You can open it with any spreadsheet software like Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. Here is how it would look:
Importing WooCommerce Products without Using a Plugin
Simply go to the Products » All Products page and click on the Import button at the top.
If your WooCommerce store is empty, then instead of the buttons at the top, you will see buttons at the center of the page.
Click on the ‘Start Import’ button to begin the import.
This will bring up the import wizard.
First, you need to click on the ‘Choose File’ button to select the WooCommerce export CSV file you downloaded earlier.
Click on the continue button to upload the CSV file.
WooCommerce will now check to see if your CSV file is in a compatible format. After that, it will ask you to map that data to existing WooCommerce product data.
The default settings here will work for most WooCommerce stores.
However, you still need to review and if a column is missing, and then click on the drop-down menu next to it and select a matching field if available.
Particularly, if you are using variations attribute for products, then make sure to scroll down to the attributes columns and match fields.
This will allow you to ensure that the fields in your CSV file match the corresponding WooCommerce fields.
Click on the ‘Run’ the Importer button to begin.
WooCommerce will now start importing data from CSV file. It will also download any images attached to your products.
Once finished, you can visit the Products » All Products page to see the imported products.
Make sure to visit your shop and product pages to check that everything is working as expected.
Method 2. Import & Export WooCommerce Products with a Plugin
For this method, we’ll be using a plugin to import and export WooCommerce products.
The advantage of this method is that it offers more flexible options and also allows you to export / import product reviews.
Plus, it allows you to import / export WooCommerce products in batches which comes in handy if you have a large store with many products and images.
After that, go to the Webtoffee Import Export (Pro) » Import page and select ‘Product’ as the post type you want to import.
Click on the ‘Step 2: Select import method’ button to continue.
Next, you need to select an import method and upload the exported file you downloaded earlier to your computer.
Click on the ‘Step 3: Map and Import Columns’ button to continue.
On the next screen, you’ll see a list of fields and the matching fields from your import file. If you see an empty field, you can choose a matching field for it in the next column.
If you are using product variations like sizes and colors, then make sure to click on the Attributes tab to match attribute fields.
However, if you are not using any products with variations or custom attributes then you can use the default settings.
Click on the ‘Step 4: Advanced Options / Batch Import’ button to continue.
On the final screen, you’ll see advanced options. For instance, you can choose to match products by ID or SKU, choose what to do if a product already exists, and more.
If you are importing products into an empty WooCommere store, then you can use the default settings.
Finally, click on the ‘Import’ button to run the product import process.
You’ll see the progress of the import on screen. Once finished, you can click on ‘View Products’ to check if everything has been imported correctly.
The plugin also allows you to import and export Product Reviews.
If you want to import or export the product reviews too, then simply choose ‘Product Reviews’ post type on the import or export page.

Top website builder (öppnas i ny flik) WordPress has pushed an urgent update to users with the WooCommerce add-on installed in response to a highly disruptive security vulnerability.
Cybersecurity researchers from GoldNetwork recently discovered a major flaw affecting WooCommerce Payments 4.8.0 and higher. WooCommerce is an open-source ecommerce WordPress plugin designed to service small and medium-sized businesses.
Explaining the bug in more detail, researchers from WordFence (a cybersecurity team focused on WordPress) claim the bug allows threat actors to “impersonate an administrator and completely take over a website without any user interaction or social engineering required.”
Disaster avoided
WooCommerce devs have now released a security update, and the good news (or so it seems right now) is that the Swiss researchers were the first ones to discover the flaw.
“At this time we have no evidence that the vulnerability was exploited beyond identifying it in our own security testing program. We do not believe any store or customer data was compromised as a result of this vulnerability,” BleepingComputer cited Beau Lebens, Head of Engineering at WooCommerce.
“We immediately deactivated the impacted services and mitigated the issue for all websites hosted on WordPress.com, Pressable, and WPVIP.”
If you have a WordPress site with WooCommerce, chances are it’s already been updated: “We shipped a fix and worked with the WordPress.org Plugins Team to auto-update sites running WooCommerce Payments 4.8.0 through 5.6.1 to patched versions. The update is currently being automatically rolled out to as many stores as possible,” Lebens said.
Here are all the vulnerable WooCommerce Payments versions: .8.2, 4.9.1, 5.0.4, 5.1.3, 5.2.2, 5.3.1, 5.4.1, 5.5.2, and 5.6.2.
If your website is still running any of the above mentioned versions, chances are it still hasn’t been updated. To do so manually, head to your WP Admin dashboard, navigate to Plugins, find WooCommerce Payments, and look for a notification about the vulnerability, as well as the instructions on how to update.

A sneaky new credit card stealer has been discovered hiding in places that are difficult to scan, and thus managing to steal payment (öppnas i ny flik) information without triggering any alarms.
A report from cybersecurity experts Sucuri notes how it stumbled upon the malware when called in to investigate an “unusual infection” at one of its clients’ payment endpoints.
As it turns out, the malware was hiding in the site’s WooCommerce payment gateway module called Authorize.net, which process payment details on checkout. As this module works after the user submits data at checkout, cybersecurity solutions have a harder time detecting potentially malicious code hiding within.
No vulnerabilities
Usually, threat actors would inject malicious code into the HTML of the store of customer checkout pages. The code would then grab the data being inputted during checkout – giving hackers access to sensitive data such as full credit card numbers, CVV numbers, expiration dates, phone numbers, email addresses, and other important information.
But today’s cybersecurity solutions can scan the HTML code for malware and thus keep the ecommerce sites safe.
That’s why this creative malware developer turned to the Authorize.net payment processing system. Apparently, it is currently being used by more than 400,000 merchants all over the world.
But the WordPress ecommerce plugin WooCommerce, or the Authorize.net payment gateway, are not flawed, and do not carry any vulnerabilities, Sucuri stressed.
“Overall they are both robust and secure payment platforms that are perfectly safe to use. Instead, this article highlights the importance of maintaining good security posture and keeping environments locked down to prevent tampering from threat actors.”
“Just like any other piece of software, if malicious actors compromise an environment they can tamper with existing controls,” they concluded.
To remain secure, businesses are advised to leverage file integrity monitoring, keep a close eye on modified files, and urged to “take every possible avenue to keep the attackers at bay.”
