WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro For Separate Importing Of New Products |
|
WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro Using Tutorial |
Please test your shared hosting limitations with successful results of importing. What does it means? Here it is my real case: 800 new digital products to import into WooCommerce. Single CSV file with 800 new products – and my hosting imported only 48 new products, progress bar in WooCommerce was freeze. Next time, I decided to split my new products into 25 CSV files with 32 products in each – and no stable successful import results again. Finally, I split into 50 CSV files with 16 products in each. I received satisfied results. Nevertheless, during manual importing you need to control total quantity of products in your WooCommerce database. In my case, all steps were increased by 16 products after each new CSV importing were finished. Sometimes, if you are developing new website based on WooCommerce, mass products importing on local PC (offline mode, localhost) or powerful dedicated web server for huge WooCommerce websites are recommended, and our WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro is just for fun :-) If you want to import new products manually on WooCommerce website, based on the shared web hosting, our WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro could split your spreadsheet file with new products to separate CSV files. Originally implied, that you got CSV file template, using WooCommerce products export mode and filled all necessary cells in spreadsheet file for all new products before. |
How to Work with WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro: |
1. OK, you have spreadsheet file with new multiple products. If you did not used LibreOffice Calc to make full listing of new products, please open XLS or CSV file into LibreOffice Calc application. If you are MS Excel user, please export your spreadsheet file to MS Excel 97-2003 Format (*.xls) to get maximum compatibility with LibreOffice Calc. After importing you will see open spreadsheet document in LibreOffice Calc, as shown. In this tutorial you can see Cyrillic chars – that is OK, it means that WooCommerce supports UTF-8 encoding natively, so you can use WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro for all products in your native language, not English language only. Number of columns depends on your WooCommerce store type – for digital downloadable products their quantity could be 41 or so on. |

1. Before importing “WooCommerce_CSV_Split.bas” Macro code please save your spreadsheet file into hard drive, flash drive with “write enable” capability (not read-only folder, drive, etc.). 2. Please change “CSVExportRows” only to positive value, larger than zero. 3. WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro does not work with empty documents, you will see “Document has no Data” error message. 4. You can change “ExportFileNumDigits” variable to positive value more or equaling 2. Otherwise you will see “Please change ExportFileNumDigits variable to value more or equaling 2” error message. For value ExportFileNumDigits = 2 you will get “Import_CSV_01.csv”, “Import_CSV_02.csv”, etc., CSV series files after splitting. 100th CSV file will be named “Import_CSV_100.csv”, “Import_CSV_101.csv”, etc. So use appropriate ExportFileNumDigits variable value. By default ExportFileNumDigits = 4. 5. WooCommerce CSV Splitter Macro does not work with Apache Open Office Calc application, please download and install LibreOffice Calc. 6.
